To help keep you from wondering what you just spent $600 on come PS3 launch day, Fox has lined up eight movies to be released on the Blu-ray format in November.

Fox's stellar, action-packed line-up of initial BD releases includes: BEHIND ENEMY LINES, FANTASTIC FOUR, KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (Director's Cut), KISS OF THE DRAGON, THE OMEN (666), THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, SPEED and THE TRANSPORTER. This first wave of BD titles will arrive at retail outlets worldwide in November. Japan launches November 10 and product hits North American (SRP US$39.98/CAN$49.98), Australian and European stores on November 14.

Allow me to present a summary of the list for those skimming: ahahahahahahahahahaha

Lord knows I often thought to myself "This DVD just isn't enough. I need at least 50 gigabytes of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in order to fully appreciate its majesty. I'll even pay twice as much as normal for it!" Why would they not immediately go for their big guns for the first titles on a new format? You think bloody Fantastic Four is going to be what tips the scales in convincing someone to buy into Blu-ray?

The descriptions for the disc contents are interesting, if a little excessive (does anyone need 72 different ways to search through League's scenes, including sorting by actor and by location?), but the films they've applied them to are mostly crap. Speed was good though, at least as I recall it from ten years ago.
