It appears that Sony has jumped in on Profile 1.1 party with its recent announcement of the Resident Evil: Extinction Blu-ray  title. Sony has planned a January 2, 2008 release for the Blu-ray version of the box office hit. The suggested retail price for Sony's Resident Evil: Extinction Blu-ray movie currently stands US$39.98.

Aside from the main feature film, Sony has also planned a host of exclusive content for their Resident Evil Extinction Blu-ray movie. These include: the "Under the Umbrella" video commentary and the "Blu-Wizard 2.0" version of Sony's disc search content and organization interface. The Resident Evil: Extinction disc will reportedly also include the supplements from the standard-def DVD version of the film.

And in case you're wondering, Capcom has confirmed that Sony's Resident Evil: Extinction Blu-ray will not include the previously announced playable demos of Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). Instead, fans of the series will have to make do with high-def trailers of both games (at least for now).

$39.98, Oh Come On!

That is too high. Why should we have to pay that much for one movie? This movie should be $30 tops, and many movies that are $30 are even not worth half that. A lot of people that make low wages can't afford to work 4 to 6 hours just to earn enough money to buy a lackluster movie. If companies want everyone to be able to buy their products, they need to think about that.

They are fools

Sony is fools if they think people are going to spend $40 on a movie. People dont want to spend $15- $25 on regular dvds. They need to get their pricing together like dropping regular dvds and moving these HD movies like Blu-ray into those $slots. That will increase sales tremendously.

Well, Christmas _is_ approaching. That might be one factor as to why the price is the way it is...
