The other day I reported that MI3 was coming out on HD DVD. Now if c|net is to be believed, Paramount will be releasing MI3 (Mission Impossible III, starring Tom Cruise) on DVD, HD DVD, and BD, all on the same day, on October 30th. It would be the first ever movie released on all three formats at once. c|net has more. ‘The two-disc Special Collector’s Edition DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc will each come loaded with special features, including five deleted scenes, Easter eggs (hidden special features), theatrical trailers and four documentaries: “The Making of the Mission,” “Mission Action: Inside the Action Unit,” “Visualizing the Mission” and “Scoring the Mission.” The HD DVD and Blu-ray versions also will feature the film in 1080p high definition with 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus.‘

HD DVD buyers will get an added bonus - an “enhanced commentary” with Abrams and star Tom Cruise that “shows them talking in a corner of the screen while the movie is playing”. I would be miffed about the lack of such a feature on the BD, except that I never care much for commentaries anyway.
