Speed Racer DVD details released

Warner Home video announced that Speed Racer will be appearing on both SD and Blu-ray formats on September 16, 2008.

As to pricing the SD is listed at $28.98 and the Blu-ray at $35.99, but Amazon.com already has sale prices listed at $18.99 SD and $24.95 Blu-ray, so however you plan to get it, it will likely be in these more sensible ranges.

I’m very excited for the release of the movie on DVD, obviously, if you checked out my Speed Racer review, but the special features are surprisingly lacking.  On both we get Spritle in the Big Leagues and a feature on the cars used in the film (how they never moved and how that worked, etc.)  On Blu-Ray we get a “Speed Racer: Race for the Crucible” game and a bonus digital copy of the film (??we care??)

In other words, no commentary.  You’d think the lack of features would drive down the price slightly, but perhaps that will happen as the date draws nearer.
