Finally, it's official. The $560 million worldwide hit Iron Man is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on Sept. 30.
We've had to stay mum on this for some time but now the cat's out of the bag. The Robert Downey Jr. starrer will be available in two-disc Ultimate Editions on DVD and Blu-ray as well as a single disc DVD version.
There are some extra-special Blu-ray features including BD Live capabilities. Here's what The Hollywood Reporter has to offer:
The Blu-ray presentation also offers several additional extras, including a "Hall of Armor" that lets viewers zoom in on any of the three Iron Man suits, or Iron Monger, and then activate digital 3-D schematics to check out every weapon. They also can fly around each suit to explore it in great detail. Also included is a BD-Live Web application, "Iron Man IQ," that lets users create and share new multiple-choice quizzes based on clips from the film.
According to official word from Paramount, here are the bonus features of the two-disc Ultimate Edition DVD. The suggested retail price is $37.99.

I usually scan the bonus features looking for something that grabs my attention. So I don't really have an actual favorite.
But, I usually find myself drawn to "making of" tracks and some "commentaries." Rarely do I play "games" or access "DVD-Rom."
