V - Release Date Moves for The Complete 1st Season on DVD and Blu-ray Disc

No official studio announcement yet, but retailers are told to expect it in October

A little over a month ago we reported that retailers, including Walmart, had begun listing V - The Complete 1st Season for release in late August. Those retailers did NOT include Amazon.com, even though the big e-tailer has been taking pre-orders on the title for months now, on both standard DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc formats. This goes back to the fact that the studio, Warner Home Video, has not yet formally announced these releases.

With the original date of August 24th approaching fast, and no official studio announcement, we went back to our original sources and asked for an update. Or contacts in the retail world told us that the schedule had been pushed back, probably due to ABC's change of plans for airing the second season. Since the network has decided to save Season 2 for midseason, airing in either late 2010 or even possibly the first quarter of 2011, industry sources tell us that Warner no longer needs to bow the home videos for the rookie year in the release-heavy late summer. However, they don't want to push it past the holiday gift-giving season, either! So we're told to expect V - The Complete 1st Season on DVD and Blu-ray to now invade stores on October 19th.

Again, that date is not confirmed by a studio announcement yet, and could still be subject to change. Stay tuned for updates! Our thanks to one of our readers, "Bernard", for making sure we stayed on top of this.
