‘Paranormal Activity’ Gets DVD and Blu-ray Release Date
by Britt Hayes
Paranormal Activity will be released by Paramount Home Entertainment on December 29th. Looks like Paramount took the advice of some in releasing the film on DVD and Blu before the end of the year. Makes sense fiscally. This is where they’ll really see a surge of cash.

Blu-ray is presented in 1080p high definition with English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital (theatrical version only) and English, English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles. Special features include:o Unrated version with alternate ending not seen in theaters
o Digital copy of theatrical version (Blu-ray only)
Street Date: December 29, 2009
S.R.P.: $29.99 U.S (DVD)
$40.99 U.S. (Blu-ray)
Runtime: 86 minutes
U.S. Rating: R for language
If you’re like me, you may need to do a double-take on the above listed prices. Don’t worry, you aren’t hallucinating – those are the fucking prices in the press release. $29.99 isn’t so shocking for a DVD, especially in these times, but $40.99 for a Blu-ray disc? Does it clean my house and have sex with my boyfriend? Come. On.
Sadly, I’ll probably throw out the $40.99 to get the Blu-ray because I am a shameless consumer whore.
