Blu Ray release in the UK
Wonderful news. I really would like to see The Avengers on blu ray.Alan wrote:Yes and yes!
Is this listing for Series 4 on blu ray legitimate?

Will it also street in May with the DVD counterpart?
I'm hoping I will be able to import and watch the set here in the US, if true.

Rupert Murdoch's Sky empire is bringing out a Sky 3D channel soon though. It will probably mostly have sports at first.Strange Young Man wrote:It's way too early to declare 3D a serious threat to the home movie market. There is virtually no worthwhile content in 3D and I hardly think anyone will be racing out to upgrade their TVs again just say they can see My Bloody Valentine 3D at home.

That is too bad. I was hoping they would be coming a bit quicker. The Prisoner and Star Trek series sets on blu ray show how amazing older tv shows can be in HD, IMO. I actually think with blu ray at times I'm more impressed with the audio track's richness and clarity even more than the picture at times.Alan wrote:No, it's not a confirmed release. Optimum have said there will be no Avengers Blu-rays in the UK until 2011 at the earliest, if at all.
Hopefully Optimum changes course and adds at least 1 set on blu ray / HD release in 2010.
That is indeed a shame. Maybe it's because there may not be much of a market for old series on Blu-Ray because of the mistaken belief (and I include myself in this ) that the picture quality can't be improved upon in Blu-Ray?Alan wrote:No, it's not a confirmed release.

Quite. The Prisoner and Star Trek were both filmed in the 60's and look amazing on blu ray. Hands down the best I've ever seen either series look. Add to that the audio is a vast improvement as well.Halfhide wrote:That is indeed a shame.

Hopefully we get a blu ray release for The Avengers soon.
The early James Bond films look and sound amazing on blu ray as well.

I thought Sky went bust? Or was it another English channel?
