I think it's a reasonable guess to think that Fox, in pleding support
for BluRay, would try to release many of its cornerstone items in
prestige packaging to try to convince users to adopt BluRay.

In fact, I'd be surprised if a huge array of TV titles from Fox weren't
among the first to be launched, perhaps even at loss-leader pricing.
Imagine XFILES Complete series $99.95 or SIMPSONS Seasons 1-6 In
Special Homer Simpson Head $49.95 or FUTURAMA Complete Series $49.95.
That would make me buy a BR player right then and there.
