HIGHLIGHTS
BluScenes - Fans of serene, atmospheric background discs will definitely want to check out BluScenes' debut trio of titles. Journey Through Space, Coral Reef Aquarium and Classic Fireplace each provide hours of serene calm and sparkling 1080p visuals. And they're well engineered too; the last frame of each scene precedes the first frame, so a wisely placed cross-fade prevents harsh skips during Loop Play.
HP Ultimate Editions - If you're a Hogwarts fanatic, you probably already own the first two Potter films on Blu-ray. However, if you don't, Warner's new "Ultimate Editions" are indeed ultimate. Nestled in lovely, elaborate packaging, each film is given the royal treatment, with two cuts of each film, loads of extras, a hard-bound book covering one particular aspect of the Harry Potter cinematic universe plus a Digital Copy. Like the previous Blu-ray editions, audio and video quality are top notch on the films themselves. Highly recommended.
