Star Trek Blu-ray Gets November Date, Augmented Reality



Paramount Home Entertainment has set November 17 as the release date of the movie 'Star Trek' on Blu-ray, day-and-date with the DVD. This will be a three-disc set, and apart from other usual features, it will include a very novel one called “augmented reality,” allowing buyers to tour the Enterprise and even shoot enemies from the ship's deck, after holding the disc packaging in front of a webcam.

An early version of the feature can be accessed at the Experience the Enterprise Web site.

For the disc release, Paramount will include a visual icon inside the packaging that, when held in front of the webcam, will unlock a more immersive experience. Users will have to log in to a Web site to access the feature, but they control the hologram by holding the disc packaging.

Other extras include deleted scenes, a BD Live feature that connects viewers to live updates from space through NASA, and the Star Fleet Vessel Simulator, which offers a 360-degree view of the Enterprise and other ships.

"I cannot wait for fans of Star Trek to check out the home entertainment release of the film. The behind-the-scenes features on the DVD -- and especially the Blu-ray -- give a wonderful look at the crazy hard work and incredible fun that went into making this movie," said J.J. Abrams. "The cast and crew were truly extraordinary to work with -- watching these special features, you'll see why. And for people who didn't catch Star Trek in the theater, I hope they do now, as Paramount has done an exceptional job with this release; the picture and sound quality are both excellent."

yesterday just wend to speedy 1u.
there have B2G1 for title from warner, foxcentury and MGM.

ask B2G1 entitle for concert BD like david foster, celine dion or buble, he say cannot

Thanks bro. But for your info I made the order on 27 June! The delay was because they don't have stock of The Matrix when I made the order. And for the first time for me, the parcel came in through a yellow bubble-padded envelope (unlike in a box normally) and it was shipped from Germany instead.... dats probably why it was faster than if it's shipped from the US.



Hmmm... dat would make each BD cost RM100 right? (say if each one costs RM150). And was it $PEEDY at the old wing and Movie Magic (which owns $PEEDY, I think) at the new wing too?

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Talking about cheap BDs sold in M'sia, yesterday I went to EZY VIDEO at Sg. Wang and I saw quite a number of titles sold at RM99.90 & RM119.90!! Not bad, but didn't have time to browse thoroughly as I need to rush

i went to speedy old wing..
never go to new wing one.

yeah..will cost RM100 each...

wah your side got B2G1(buy2foc1 rite)
speedy ipoh cant even smell the aroma la
lansung tak da

Maybe not all outlet... I didn't see any blu-ray B2G1 at $PEEDY Subang Parade; when I was there last Thursday...

It is at all speedy outlets for B2G1. There is no sign board out yet. You have to ask them. They still want to earn from ignorant buyers whom just only buy one piece for RM149

yeah,i guess so.
even the shop i go, they write it in a cardboard with hand writting.
the handwritting so ugly.

so go ask every speedy shop to confirm it.
