I really hope this means an eventual Blu-Ray release of the movies. I think it's about time America had a complete Godzilla collection in HD. |

Nice find Pack, very interesting article to say the least. Looks like a lengthy and difficult process to go through. It's good to see a company take pride in their work though and go the extra mile to make sure the quality remains high. |
 Just another reason why I'm a fan ;-) | |

If the films are released on BLU, I hope the studios other than Classic Media (Here's looking at you, Sony/Columbia) take the time with the new releases to give us a complete package and throw in some special features/commentary or at least both versions of the films on each disc. |

Special features would be great, but having both versions is very important. I really hope they wouldn't skimp on that. |

Yea, but having both versions means that if we do get a box set, we would have to have 56 discs. Not to mention each film having a separate disc for special features. Because to have perfect pic quality, we need a blu-ray disc that has the film in HD-Blu-Ray format only without interactive menues. Just pop in the disc and watch a subtitled version of the film (I am refering to the discs with the Japanese versions). There! No compression issues, artifacting, or anything. Litteraly perfect! |

I think one of the big questions is if there are even any plans to release these Godzilla movies on Blu Ray in Japan? |

^There's actualy more interest in America than Japan on this subject... I bet Toho is waiting for Blu-Ray discs to be more Region diverse like regular DVDs so $$$ will flow... |

Sci-Fi Japan has posted a link where you can watch many of Sony's Godzilla titles(and the 1961 film Mothra) online, in HD quality no less. Here's the Sci-Fi Japan article, which includes the link to "Crackle", where you can watch these movies online: http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2009/03/17/godzilla-and-mothra-on-crackle/ |

This looks awesome, especially considering it's a free service! I'm going to try to look into this on the weekend when I'll have the time to watch one of them. |

Awesome, but damn. They're English dubs. I only enjoy seeing some of the older ones I liked as a kid dubbed in English. |

I am wondering what the hell they were thinking about doing this service. Really, it is non profitable. What does Toho think? |

If by "they" you're referring to Sony and their video service "Sparkle" the streaming videos of these films strikes me as a means of marketing these films. Granted, I doubt these online videos will generate any sizable revenues for Sony but perhaps these video streams of various G films will increase interest in them among those not as familiar with Godzilla. Whatever the reason Sony must believe there's some merit to it or they wouldn't be doing it.
