Anyone getting the high definition versions of Jailhouse Rock being released today?

OK - Here are 2 images from Jailhouse Rock . The first is from the new Blu-ray version , the second from the UK pal standard dvd. These were taken very quickly using a pioneer plasma , but give an idea of the huge improvement in the image of the new hd version.I havn't changed the colour temp. As a bit of history , I have the US laserdisc letterbox,the uk vhs colour version,and this obviously beats all of them by a long way.I have had a quick listen to the audio and the 5.1. track sounds very impressive.I will try and update as soon as I get a chance to view all of the movie.

This image is taken from a 2:35:1 projection screen using a full 1080p projector in 24fp mode.

Can you play Blu-Ray and HD on the same player?

Here is another sample of the pal dvd vs the Blu-Ray disc. Photos are taken via a Sony vw50 hd projector.

I have watched the movie and it is stunning-the audio has Dolbytrue hd 5.1 and dolbydigital 5.1 as well as the original mono sountrrack.This is the first time that I have enjoyed a remastered soundtrack from a mono source.Don't forget that Warner hd disc's have no region code and that HD-DVD is region free anyway.
