I really don't think the PQ is going to be a huge improvement when Cloverfield hits blu-ray. I know it was filmed on a better camera than 28 days later, but 28 days later doesn't look any better on blu than on DVD. The audio will be a different story as long as you can access the HD audio codecs (True HD, DTS-HD MA, etc.)

You wanna see nauseating motion and monsters ON BLU-RAY?!?
Yeah that's not really a good combo.

Cloverfield has no HDM release date. It was slated for HD-DVD before that went belly up. Since then, Paramount has been rather silent on the whole HDM release question.
Surprisingly it was Universal, who unlike Paramount had never released a BD in their lives and were seriously staunch HD-DVD supporters, who came around to making BD announcements first.
It could be awhile before any of the Paramount movies make it over to BD again, unfortunately.

Regarding the Paramount issue, they probably don't want to seem like idiots/arses for ditching Blu to go to Red, hence being quiet still. It'd be bad PR for them to show the truth and prove the lies when they said HD was more compatible w/ them technologically and market-wise.
Did anyone see the commercial for Cloverfield yet on tv? It seems like the commercial was purposely editted so it wasn't as "handy cam"-like. Makes me wonder if it's going to be similar on the dvd [most probably not].
*possible spoiler/disappointment below!*
And to anyone that preorders Golden Compass, cancel it immediately! IMO it was a pretty good concept/story but the director or scriptwriter makes it into such a mess. When I was in the theaters, I swear the majority of the audience were clueless as to what was going on since the story kept jumping here and there. Add to the fact that there was a "fight/action" scene almost every other scene just to increase the pace of the story. And the ending? Oh boy! =)

Umm... Unless America really got shafted on this one... Hasn't the Blu-Rays for Oceans 11, 12, and 13 been out for months? (I live in Canada and I got all 3 at the same day the DVD version of Ocean's 13 was released...)
Granted, I did buy the complete Ocean's Blu-Ray set if that makes any difference?

It does...they released the Ocean's Trilogy box, and Ocean's 13 by itself, but up until now, you could not buy the good one (Ocean's 11) or Ocean's 12 by themselves. It was basically the same story as the Matrix on HD-DVD. You could get the third one by itself, but you could not get the good one (Matrix) or its first sequel.

If that boxshot of The Golden Compass is what the whole thing looks like from the front, then I'm very happy.
Reason: it's been annoying that, in order to distinguish Blu-ray from HD-DVD, the two competing formats had to adopt an easily visible, understandable, and contrasting theme - that is, red or blue framing on the front. Blu-ray even has had that light blue color for all plastic in the package.
That clashes wildly with the color scheme or theme of many movies.
DVD covers have become as much an art form as movie posters.
Blu-ray's kiddie light blue color has been an annoying distraction, and has detracted from the appearance and credibility of the format.
Let's hope all future Blu-ray releases relegate that color, at most, to just a little oval bug on the front, and hopefully in future allow even that logo to be any color or none, just as is currently the case with the DVD logo.

awww I love the blue on the blu-ray boxes. My only gripe is that the edges are all rounded so they don't really stand up well on their own.
