Fox to Announce First Blu-ray Releases?

There's going to be big news from Blu-ray at this year's IFA Convention, with format backers Fox, Warner and Sony set to unveil major announcements when the event kicks off next week in Berlin, Germany.

High Def Digest and other top online and print media outlets received invitations earlier today to the annual conference and trade show, which is set to begin on Thursday, August 31. According to the press materials, look for Sony to at last reveal significant plans for the launch of the PlayStation 3, while both Warner and Fox are expected unveil details on upcoming Blu-ray titles.

News from the latter is especially exciting, given that Fox remains the last major studio that has not revealed any concrete release plans for the next-gen high-def format.

Though we can't attend the conference, the Blu-ray Disc Disc Association will be delivering to us all the late-breaking news direct from the IFA convention floor. So certainly tune us in next week, as we'll be posting all the latest developments as soon as they come in.
