(Blu Monday is our roundup of what's new in Blu-ray...) One high-definition question that comes up a few times a year is when will major sports be available on Blu-ray? We love to watch live games in high definition, but keepsake DVDs are only in standard definition. Just this year, though, we've gotten our first Blu-ray releases for the Big Four, meaning MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL (I'm not counting wrestling, swimsuit stuff, etc.). For the Philadelphia Phillies, the World Series highlight film came out on both DVD and Blu-ray (the Blu-ray came out three weeks later), and the Boston Celtics' NBA championship film also came out on DVD and Blu-ray (the Blu-ray was almost four months later). Major catch: both Blu-ray discs are the highlight films only. If you want to watch the actual games, you'll have to stick with the standard-definition DVD sets Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Collector's Edition and Boston Celtics: 2007-2008 NBA Champions Special Edition. And of course the big prize is the Super Bowl. Perhaps that will be released on Blu-ray in 2009.--David
