Heroes Season 1 Announced On Hd-what About Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

Moretonbay · 05-16-2007, 07:11 PM

I just found out through my distributor that Heroes Season 1 is being released on HD on August 28th with a MSRP of $99.98 on 7 Discs

The Studio is Universal so we can only hope they will come to the Blu-Ray Side and do the same for Blu-Ray as well.

Yup, we'll have to wait until Universal goes neutral for stuff like this.

Heroes isn't all that important to me, but Battlestar Galactica will be a different matter. I really want that on Blu. If you want a good show to watch in the meantime, I highly recommend Rescue Me which is coming to Blu-ray (season 3) in a couple weeks. Great show

Well we all knew this was coming..... Universial could have huge sales if Heroes was coming out on BD. They keep ignoring the BD sales figures which is ridiculous.

This is the most obviously pointeless thread ever...

well it is... what, 23 episodes at about 45 minutes an episode? That's at least 1000 minutes right there. Since HD DVD can easily do what was it, a 240 minute movie with multiple tracks using VC-1 easily (old lord of the rings #'s), it should only take four HD DVDs to do it.

I wonder why it's going to seven discs. Less compression maybe? Differences between film and TV level HD recordings? More discs equals a higher price that can be charged? Incompetence? Who knows.

Suffice to say that this is an easy purchase for me. Well, if I was buying HD DVD but I'm not. My wife and I adore the show. After watching it in HD there is no way I can watch it on DVD. And since I sold off the single HD DVD that I bought back in April 06, there's no way I'm getting more. I'll bide my time. There'll be repeats on TV if I'm "desperate.' Hell, UHD will probably air it sometime as well.
