Amazon.com has added a number of new Blu-ray Disc pre-orders over the past week, including a pair of Paramount titles yet to be officially announced.
Our pick for the hottest new Blu-ray pre-order is Tim Burton’s A Nightmare Before Christmas (Collector’s Edition) for $27.95, just revealed late last week for an August 26 bow.
From BBC Home Video comes Torchwood: Season One for $55.95 which has a strong cult following an ever larger curiosity base planning a first look with this set, myself included.
There are a total of six new Paramount Blu-ray pre-orders including all four of the Tom Clancy films for $20.95: Patriot Games, The Hunt for Red October, Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears. To this date, Paramount has officially announced only The Sum of All Fears and Patriot Games.
