We all knew it was coming, but the silence from Sony was disturbing. The wait is over, however, as Sony officially announced "Spider-Man 3" and "Spider-Man High Definition Trilogy" for release in the U.S. on Blu-ray October 30, 2007. While "Spider-Man 3" will be a fully-loaded 2 disc set, the first two films will be on 1 disc each. "Spider-Man 2" will also feature both the theatrical and "Extended 2.1" cuts of the film available using advanced seamless branching technology.
Having grossed $888 million theatrically world-wide, Spider-Man 3 marks the highest profile high definition disc release to date (besting earlier titles "Casino Royale" and "The Departed"), and will only be available in high definition on Blu-ray disc!
Sony also announced that the Blu-ray version would be available day-and-date with the DVD release and PSP UMD release of the third film.
In case you're wondering, that sound you hear is yet another blue nail being driven into HD DVD's already well-sealed coffin.
