The Blu-ray will have 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, and come on a 3-disc set.

It's likely it will be pillarboxed, preserving the aspect ratio.

SOUTH PARK IN HD!

finally..more hd south park!

MacDaddyOJack · 12-15-2008, 12:41 PM

As much as I love southpark, I'm not sure it's one of those things that needs to be in HD. The animation isn't that great to begin with. However, if I was going to buy season 12, I would rather buy it on BD over DVD so I guess it's a good thing

dvd_mazter · 12-15-2008, 12:58 PM

Wow, never thought I'd see South Park in HD but I'm totally buying this.

I have an Episode on my XBOX (XBOX Live Exclusive HD 720p Episode). The DVD's (and i own season on DVD) look like a pile of **** compared to this. This episode was made in 1080p in 16x9 format. It's really widescreen. They just Re-Rendered them with a 16x9 plane since it's all computer generated. I'am hoping they'll do the same for the 14 Ep of S12

Well i'am pretty sure the blu-ray set will be. It's just a question of Re-rendering them. Maybe they are already been done in 16x9. Comedy Central is not a widescreen channel nor it's HDTV.. so..

Blu-News · 12-15-2008, 01:29 PM

It's supposed to be in it's orignal aspect ratio according to the information I have.

Rhoq · 12-15-2008, 02:35 PM

Sorry guys, season 8's "Good Times With Weapons" was redrawn for the 16x9 HD presentation. Unless they produced the 12th season with Comedy Central's HD launch next month in mind (and "center cut" it for SD broadcast), I wouldn't hold my breath for anything but a 4:3 pillar boxed presentation. But still - it should look great in HD, regardless.

I agree.
Also, you can see all seasons and episodes at www.southparkstudios.com
If you have you PC connected to your HDTV, then you're set.

If "Good Times With Weapons" is any indication, you will be pleasantly surprised with how great South Park looks in High Definition.

dgator783 · 12-15-2008, 03:00 PM

Yeah but... you can do that with everything. Even to it's a legal site... the quality is Ok to watch on a Ipod or Portable Computer but not a on 100' Inch screen..

You haven't seen the HD version that was on hddvd and xbox live then! Looked INCREDIBLE. YES, being in HD will make a huuuge difference.

robb01 · 12-15-2008, 04:28 PM

Awesome, one of the few series Ive been collecting

Nealten10 · 12-15-2008, 04:57 PM

Will they come out with the previous seasons in blu-ray?

SOUTH PARK IN HD!

I'd rather have the movie first, it would be 16x9 and cool

Moneydemon3 · 12-15-2008, 05:04 PM

I would have preferred to see the movie come out first but I will buy it.

That probably will depend on how this one sells.

Looks fine on a 60" at 8 feet away.
Yes, there is banding and macorblocking here and there but SP is all about the funny and not great PQ.
I mean, look at the quality of the cartoon drawings for SP.
