Double-feature Blu-Ray
Combining short films on a single DVD may already be common practice, but Lionsgate will become the first studio to pair two movies on a single HD-format disc. "Ultimate Avengers" and "Ultimate Avengers 2" will be available together on one 50GB Blu-Ray disc, which will still have enough space left over to hold bonus materials, such as featurettes and a trivia track. The disc will ship April 24th and cost $40. Lionsgate intends to continue releasing double-features into the future, but has not announced any titles beyond Ultimate Avengers. More popular pairings may give Blu-Ray an edge in the HD format war, as HD DVD discs have only half the capacity of Blu-Ray. [via TG Daily]
