Nine Inch Nails Readies Live Assault for Blu-ray, HD DVD
Mon Dec 11, 2006 at 12:01 AM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Music (all tags)
Legendary electronic icons Nine Inch Nails will make next-gen history with the day-and-date release of their live concert film 'Beside You in Time on DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray.
Hitting all three formats on February 27, 2007, via Interscope, 'Beside You in Time' features a full 19-track set from the band's sold out 2006 "comeback" tour in support of their latest album, "With Teeth."
Both the Blu-ray and HD DVD versions include 1080p video transfers and soundtracks in Dolby Digital and DTS. However, exact codec and audio format details have not yet been releases.
Extras include five bonus tracks from the band's North American 2006 summer leg of the tour, plus two music videos, rehearsal footage and a still gallery. No word yet on whether the Blu-ray and/or HD DVD versions will include any additional exclusive HD content.
A teaser trailer for 'Beside You in Time' can also be found at the band's official website. (And since when did lead singer Trent Reznor turn into a bald, buff version of Peter Gabriel?)
Retail price is still pending, as is box art. But stay tuned, and in the meantime we've updated the latest specs in our HD DVD Release Schedule and Blu-ray Release Schedule.
We also set up dedicated threads for both releases in our new Forums area -- click the following links to discuss the 'Nine Inch Nails Live: Beside You in Time' Blu-ray release and Nine Inch Nails Live: Beside You in Time' HD DVD release.

Rhino Announces First HD DVD Titles
Fri Sep 15, 2006 at 01:50 AM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Music, Rhino (all tags)
Everyone's favorite distributor of "the weird and the wonderful"
on DVD, Rhino Home Entertainment has become the latest indie to jump aboard
the HD DVD bandwagon, announcing three new music titles for release this Fall.
Due in stores on November 17 are recent concert films by three top music acts: 'The Eagles: Farewell Tour 1 - Live In Melbourne,' 'Cream: Royal Albert Hall - London May 2-3-5-6 2005' and 'James Taylor: A MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute.'
No specs, supplement details and pricing information is yet available for the releases, but are expected in the coming days.
Rhino, a subsidiary of Warner Bros., also controls an ever-growing library of eclectic music, TV and special interest programming, so we can only hope its first three HD DVD titles are just the beginning. We also certainly welcome the release of less "mainstream" fare in high def, which can only help broaden consumer appeal for the next-gen formats even further.
We've added new listings for all three of Rhino's initial disc offerings to
our HD DVD Release
Schedule, and stay tuned for full details as soon as they are announced.

Beating Paramount's 'Mission: Impossible III' to the punch, Eagle Rock

Retail for both the Blu-ray and HD DVD will be $24.98 each.
