Disney's Snow White coming to Blu-ray in October
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first Walt Disney animated classic and the first DVD to sell a million copies in a single day, will make its Blu-ray debut on Oct. 6 in a special combo pack ($39.99) that includes a DVD, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A two-disc standard DVD release ($29.99) will follow the combo pack by seven weeks, arriving in stores Nov. 24.
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment is hoping the early Blu-ray release will drive consumers to the new format. The classic retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale has never before been seen in high definition.
Snow White hasn't been available in any form since its first and only DVD release in 2001. The new release will include several all-new bonus features not included on the original 2001 edition.

I guess this is getting a bit tired but, what does this have to do with SciFi?

Actually, I really don't mind them posting things like this. Sci Fi Wire is my main source for news on the entertainment industry. Otherwise, I may not have learned that Snow White is coming out on Blu-ray in October... until July when Disney started plastering advertisements all over TV and the internet, which I'm sure they'll do. :)

'I guess this is getting a bit tired but, what does this have to do with SciFi'
It's fantasy. Fantasy is a sub-genre of Scifi. Back when the Scifi Channel was new it had three categories. Science fiction, fantasy and supernatural / Gothic horror. The first show to ever air on the Scifi Channel was Dark Shadows.
Like it or not Snow White IS as much fantasy as Lord of the Rings and thus belongs here.
