Warner is delivering the cool flick Blow -- you know, Ted Demme's 2001 movie with Johnny Depp playing real-life cocaine entrepreneur George Jung -- to high-def on Sept. 23 (prebook Aug. 19), priced at $28.99.

It will include a digital copy for downloading to a PC or portable device, plus have in-movie interactivity and commentaries and featurettes that are on the standard DVD.

Meanwhile, on Aug. 12 (prebook was on July 10), Sony is releasing XXX State of the Union, Half Past Dead, 7 Seconds and Maximum Risk on Blu-ray, each priced at $28.95.

SWEET I love Blow! The movie... not the drug. Although I've never tried it so I don't know :)
