Blu-ray SERENITY!! SIMPSONS!! OFFICE!! MARS!! NIP/TUCK!! 24!! EXOSQUAD!! Auld Lang HercVault!!

I am – Hercules!!

Proponents of the doomed HD-DVD format have had access to the big-screen sequel to “Firefly” on HD for some time now, but the further adventures of Inara Serra, Kaylee Frye, Jayne Cobb and the River Tam finally hit Blu-ray today. It includes loads of extras, including three debuting on this edition:

* Alliance Database - Includes dossiers on all of the Firefly crew, profiles on planets, various historical entries, vehicle references and details on the reavers.

* U Control - This is broken down into four sections: Mr. Universe Compendium, Digital Tour of Serenity, Picture in Picture and Visual Commentary. It appears these are all interactive features instead of simple menu items.

* BD Live: My Scenes Sharing - It's part of the new BD Live set of features and is supposed to let you share your favorite scenes of the movie with your friends.
