Paramount has set a $29.95 list price for each.
Paramount Home Entertainment also announced it will bring the theatrical sleeper hit “Freedom Writers” to Blu-ray and HD DVD this spring.
Starring two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank, the inspirational story of an inner-city school teacher surprisingly earned over $40 million at the domestic box office last January.
Paramount will debut the film on both Blu-ray and HD DVD on May 22. No technical specifications and prices are available right now.
Indie developer Digital Leisure will bring the first interactive high-definition game to Blu-ray with the upcoming release of the classic “Dragon's Lair”.
The landmark animated adventure was one of the big hits of the arcade boom of the early '80s. Combining hand-drawn 2-D animation from the Don Bluth Studios with laserdisc-based technology, 'Dragon's Lair' allowed gamers to pilot the heroic Dirk the Daring on a series of adventures using simple joystick commands.
