The Oscar-winning romance comes home.
by RL Shaffer JUNE 14, 2012
101 years ago today (May 31), the RMS Titanic was launched into the Belfast Lough. Little did anyone know that less than a year later the dazzling ship would sink, tragically ending the lives of over 1500 crew and guests. To mark the anniversary of the Titanic's initial launch, Paramount Home Media Distribution and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment have announced that they will bring James Cameron's Titanic to Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download September 10, 2012.
There will a four-disc Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray combo pack (suggested retail $54.99, pre-order on Amazon for $29.99), a four-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack (suggested retail $44.99, pre-order is $22.99), and a two-disc DVD set (suggested retail $29.99, pre-order is $14.96). Both Blu-ray sets also include a Digital Copy of the film. Here's a look at box art for the Blu-ray and DVD (official Blu-ray 3D art is forthcoming):
