Specs and extras remain the same, with the film receiving 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround track.
The slim bonus features include a featurette and a music video. The disc will also come BD-Live-enabled.

Wed Mar 25, 2009 at 11:00 AM ETTags: Street Date Changes, Music on High-Def, Warner Music Group (all tags)
More details and a new street date have emerged for Neil Young's 'Archives Volume One,' with the man himself announcing an early-June Blu-ray release via his official website.
As previously reported, the rock legend had announced ambitious plans last year to release his entire back catalog on Blu-ray in multiple, extensive special edition box sets. A tentative February 24 street date was originally announced for the Warner Music Group release, but never materialized.
Now, Young has stated that the first installment in the landmark Blu-ray release, 'Neil Young: Archives Volume One (1963-1972)' is planned for a June 2 street date.
Spanning ten discs, the set will boast no less than 128 tracks, among them 43 unreleased songs and 13 never-before-heard by the public.
Also included are two complete live albums, "Live At The Fillmore East" and "Live At Massey Hall 1971."
Video extras feature the full-length documentary "Journey Through the Past."
Rounding out this impressive Blu-ray release is a 236-page hardcover book, plus lyrics written by Neil Young, newspaper articles, letters and a Young timeline.
Suggested retail price for the box set has been set at $431.99.
