Indy 4 DVD details

posted on August 12th, 2008 by Wilhem Oliva.

For better or worse, we got a new Indiana Jones movie this summer. Now, if you’re in the “for better” camp, you can own the movie on DVD or Blu-ray on October 14th! Personally, I think the the movie wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be. Lets face it, nothing was going to live up to the expectations that had been building up for almost 20 years.

The DVD and Blu-ray versions are almost the same, except with Blu-ray you get amazing picture quality and a few interactive timeline features which let you further explore the movie. Kinda makes me want to buy a PS3. Read on to get the full specs!
