Though Paramount Home Entertainment has yet to assign an official release date, retailers have been given a green light to begin taking pre-orders for Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on Blu-ray Disc.
Online retailer Amazon.com is offering what appears to be a single disc special edition set with a retail price of $39.99. Actual Amazon pricing is $27.99, and you can click here to secure an early pre-order which guarantees the lowest price available up until the item ships.
Best Buy is offering up something a little more special for the hardened Transformers fan not satisfied owning the same thing all their friends ultimately will. For $49.99 you can receive the movie on Blu-ray, a $50 gift card to Sideshow Collectibles, and an Optimus Mini-bust — all packaged in a limited edition box. Click here for more details at Best Buy.
Recently Michael Bay confirmed there will be different skus for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with an IMAX-sensitive sku filling the screen for IMAX scenes. Bay was not specific about format when making this statement so my assumption is he meant the DVD edition will have an IMAX specific SKU. I would further assume Paramount will handle the IMAX scenes on Blu-ray the same way Warner did with The Dark Knight: all the Blu-ray’s will shift the aspect ratio as the director intended.
An official Paramount announcement for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on Blu-ray will be passed along when made, probably at least a month from now.
