After King Kong, which was announced for Blu-ray earlier this month, the most anticipated and sought after former Universal HD DVD exclusive was the three Jason Bourne films. Now you can add The Bourne Trilogy to the 2009 Blu-ray release list.
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced The Bourne Trilogy will be coming to Blu-ray Disc on January 27 as a three-disc set. The individual films, The Bourne Conspiracy, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, will not be available individually.
Each of the films will be presented in widescreen 1080p video and DTS-HD Master Audio, a first for the series.
All of the supplemental features from the previously released HD DVD will be ported to Blu-ray and, in an unexpected surprise, a few new features have been tacked on. BD-Live will be utilized to access all-new features including a strategy videogame that pits two players against each other in hand-to-hand combat.
The extensive list of extras for all three films are as follows.
