SONY PICTURES has announced that it will release its first seven titles on the Blu-ray format on June 20.

The roll-out will coincide with the first commercially available Blu-ray DVD player from Samsung and a Blu-ray-compatible PC from Sony.

Titles that will be rolled out will include "50 First Dates," "The Fifth Element," "Hitch" and the "House of Flying Daggers."

The movie studio said it will release a few more titles in the coming weeks. It might have to. House of the Flying Daggers has been around as a Blu-ray tester for a while and none of the others are exactly block-busters. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
