The Avengers on DVD in the US?
Agreed. I would import if the series was issued on UK blu ray. As long as the discs are not region locked.timlamb wrote:On the plus side as long as the British blurays aren't region locked they will play perfectly in any bluray player. The Cathy Gale series creates a problem though with pal dvd's. I would need to hook my Pioneer DV-717 back up to my HDTV for playback. I will wait a bit for a US announcement.

I wish they would do away with locking in regions...Lando wrote:Agreed. I would import if the series was issued on UK blu ray.

Newbie / Oldbie
I'm a newbie to this site, but an "oldbie" when it comes to The Avengers. I was a young teen when the show came to across the pond to the States. I went totally ape over it. I still have the publicity photo Diana Rigg sent in response to my fan letter (actually, according to an interview she later gave, it may have been her Mum who posted the pic). The A&E set looked great on my old CRT when it came out, but alas on my 42" plasma it is looking pretty sub-par. The Prisoner blu-ray set looks so good; I'm eagerly (!) awaiting any news on a hi-def release of these shows. Guess I better not hold my breath though.mousemeat wrote:I wish they would do away with locking in regions...Lando wrote:Agreed. I would import if the series was issued on UK blu ray.

"Mrs. Peel; We're Needed"...by all the people who want this on blu-ray.Re: Newbie / Oldbie
I would love to have The Avengers series on blu ray. I would rebuy the Peel years as well as the other ones that I have yet to pick up...dlhen wrote:I'm a newbie to this site, but an "oldbie" when it comes to The Avengers.

Hopefully we have some news on the series on blu ray soon.

One good bet for Netflix subscribers in the U.S.- That have Internet through their t.v., Is adding (at least '67&'68 series are available) to your instant Queue. They're not HD and only original television format, but it tides me over until the Blu Rays are released. They do seem a shade or two better than the A&E releases though..Also nice,it comes with your monthly fee and you don't have to fuss with DVD discs etc.
