Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment swung through New York City this week to show off October’s release of Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray. Hours later, we’re still in awe.

The techno-happy Sean/George/Roger/Timothy/Pierce 007s are no doubt pleased to be arriving on state-of-the-art high-def disc as Fox/MGM announces that the James Bond catalog will be released on Blu-ray this fall.

Forget Black Friday and Cyber Monday, now you can get the VIZIO VP422 42-inch flat panel plasma HDTV for under $750 any time you want, just by walking into your local WalMart or clicking your mouse on WalMart.com.

While DISH Network announced and is rolling out 22 new high definition channels this week, they simultaneously removed 15 of their existing HD channels. Will they still meet their goal of 100 national HD channels in 2008?

The first 32-inch plasma to hit US shores lands in a fairly unlikely place – Walmart – and at a pretty attractive price point: $437.

The arthouse label–long known for its prestigious titles, meticulous transfers and copious extras–has announced a baker’s dozen Blu-ray Discs for October and beyond.

Pioneer’s newly announced Blu-ray Disc players, the BDP-51FD and Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD feature an entirely new platform which vastly improves start-up and load times while enabling the BonusView feature (but still no BD-Live).

Pioneer is extending their KURO brand to the front projection market with the new PRO-FPJ1 Elite Kuro Projector. It’s a 3-chip LCoS-based 1080p projector with advanced calibration and set-up options, ideal for custom home theater installations.

Pioneer shows off its latest line of KURO plasma HDTVs, featuring even better contrast and black levels than last year’s models, plus some unique new features.
