Disney's Animated Flick 'Bolt' to Hit Blu-Ray Before DVD

N'Gai Croal
 Walt Disney Pictures' "Bolt"

For those early adopters and PlayStation fanboys who believed that Blu-Ray would triumph over HD-DVD, the spoils of that format war are starting to come your way--sort of. According to Blu-Ray.com, Disney has announced that last year's computer-animated movie 'Bolt" will arrive on Blu-Ray on March 22nd, two entire days before it comes out on DVD. That's not a whole lot of difference, but it does suggest that studios are looking for low-impact ways to maximize the share of their home video revenues that come from higher-priced Blu-Ray discs. If videophiles cruise store aisles on a Sunday afternoon and only see the Blu-Ray version, they might be more inclined to pick it up immediately rather than wait two more days for its cheaper DVD counterpart. Sneaky, Disney. Sneaky.

Is Disney being sneaky or will PS3 3-D tech be used here? I doubt it, but it would be nice. Bolt was fantastically fun to watch in 3-D....
