It looks like PT is coming out in May with a concert called Anesthetize . Looks like it will be a BD (video) and CD and maybe a DVD-A also.

Filmed in high definition and taken from two concerts given by Porcupine Tree at Tilburg, The Netherlands, at the end of the Fear of a Blank Planet tour in October 2008, this deluxe special edition includes a 130 minute concert film on both standard definition DVD and high definition Blu-Ray disc,
The package also includes two audio CDs of the entire live film soundtrack, alongside a bonus track not featured in the film.
Limited to 4,000 copies with a grey cover and 1,000 copies with a red cover, the special edition comes in a beautiful cloth bound hardback book featuring concert photography of the band taken over the last few years.

I wonder how the audio is encoded on the BD. Looks like the Red version is already sold out.

Would have thought someone would post before me:
The standard edition BD is available for pre-order on Amazon.com for $17.49 - a very preliminary listing, no details other than "2-disc" and a release date of 15 June (2010).
Hmm, just checked, and the DVD is listed for more! Weird, I thought they were the same when I ordered the BD (not that is matters to me...)

Amazon's listings for this seem to be waffling around in price and description.
The item I ordered as a BD is now listed as "Anesthetize (2pc) (Wbr Ws) (2008)", and is described as a DVD only. There is a separate listing for the original DVD listing too, at a cheaper price.
So has Amazon confused itself because the BD also comes with a DVD?
Very annoying - I don't want to end up with a DVD. And I know it is useless to ask Amazon directly at this stage, since they don't have the item in stock yet and the CSR can probably only tell me the same info as what the listing says.
Is "wbr" an Amazon code for Widescreen Blu-ray?

I see this now on Amazon:

The BluRay/DVD combo is still available at Amazon.ca
Received the regular DVD with DTS-HD 5.1 sound this weekend. It is an excellent video of the FOABP tour, and the sound ain't too bad. While not as pristine or fully multichannel audio as the DVD-A FOABP album, there are many treasures here, especially the second half of the concert with tracks from Signify and Deadwing. One gets to hear and appreciate the subtle keyboard soundscapes from Barbieri as well as Edwins' tremendous bass playing, along with the quieter acoustic moments and vocal harmonizations, which made up for the distorted sonic assault I had experienced live at the Warfield during this tour. The surround-sound mix did not particularly stand out for me, but all-in-all this is a great visual and audio record of a superb concept album (with nearly half the concert containing less "heavier" songs from earlier releases) played live by a band that is at the top of its game.
