Tangled Lets Down Its Hair On Blu-Ray And DVD March 29th

Is it just me or are these combo packs getting unwieldy as we add new formats? If you're riding the cutting edge of home-entertainment technology, you're now regularly being offered combo packs that include a 3D Blu-ray, a regular Blu-ray, a DVD, and a digital download. Why stop there? Let's honor our heritage and toss in a Super-VHS copy, a regular VHS, a MiniDisc, a Laserdisc, a BetaMax, a couple of Super8 cartridges, and a Kinetoscope.

On a related note, Walt Disney Home Entertainment has announced a March 29th release date for their 50th animated film, Tangled. For you early adopters out there, this modern take on the story of Rapunzel will be the first animated flick to premiere day-and-date with the regular Blu-ray and DVD releases, so you won't have to wait for your third dimension. The four-disc combo pack will run $49.99 and include -- as you might guess -- the 3D version, Blu-ray, a DVD, and a digital download. The two-disc Blu-ray will shave off ten bucks and list for $39.99, and you old-school folks can grab the one-disc DVD version for a mere $29.99. Here's what you can look forward to when it comes to bonus features.
