Universal Studios is hoping to tempt over Blu-ray refuseniks with its new dual spec discs. The Flipper format features a high def Blu-ray disc on one side and a regular DVD version on the other for the best of both worlds.
The idea is that you can buy the DVD version now and then upgrade to Blu-ray later on simply by flipping the disc. Of course, if you’ve already got a high def player, there’s nothing to stop you throwing it in DVD side down and partying like it’s 1999.
Universal is promising the same extras on both versions, although Blu-ray will also provide access to advanced features such as U-Control and BD-Live.
The Bourne Identity Supremacy Ultimatum will be the first title available in Flipper format with others no doubt to follow.
Out January 2010 | £TBC | Universal Studios
