Universal Studios has announced "The Change-Up" will release on Blu-ray Disc and DVD this coming November 8. Both disc editions will contain the theatrical and never-before-seen unrated version of the film. Extras include deleted scenes, gag reel, director commentary, and featurettes "Time for a Change" and "Family Matter."
In a surprising move Netflix has broken off its DVD-by-mail service into a separate subsidiary called Qwikster. Wait a minute? Wasn't Netflix built on DVDs-by-mail? Not any more. Netflix has done away with discs. In a blog post last night CEO Reed Hastings apologized for the confusion but explained the move was made because Netflix's shares have been dropping due to price increases and the splitting of services. He reasoned Netflix could do a better job at providing streaming services if it were the only focus of the company.
