Generation Kill is coming out, right? June 16 - Blu-ray Forum

bhadley · 11-19-2008, 02:31 AM

I remember reading that HBO officially announced they'd release Generation Kill for blu ray the same day as the regular DVD (Dec 16). Nobody has a price for it, nor is anyone taking pre-orders. Does anyone know if it's actually coming out? Did I misread the story with the HBO announcement?

Thanks.

Yeah, it supposed to be coming out on Dec. 16, but I started wondering about that when the old Amazon pre-order link for GK in BD now lead to a dead page--for instance, try clicking on "Buy it at Amazon and save" on this page.

Amazon now has a new page for GK in BD, which currently states, "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available." Even more depressing, if you take a look at Best Buy's site, it currently states that it will be released on 6/16/2009. That date, however, might be just their generic guesstimate.

But what about from the source itself, HBO/Warner? The good news is that GK in BD is now up for pre-order on the HBO store website and has been there since last week. The release date is Dec. 16. The bad news is that it's not currently available for pre-order at the Warner Home Video website. It just seems odd that it's available for pre-order at one site but not at the other. Has HBO jumped the gun, or is WHV just slow in updating their site?

Obviously, I don't have a life and I've spent way too much time thinking about this

, but that's the current state of affairs. Who knows, things might change tomorrow.

Yeah, you are right. It did get announced, and I thought amazon had it for preorder for a while, but it disappeared. Now it is in a "notify me" state at Amazon

Weird, that old Amazon pre-order link that I said wasn't working is now working again and the newer link is now down. No definite release date is stated. The HBO site, however, still says that it will be released on Dec. 16.

FYI.....amazon just lowered the price for the blu-ray so enjoy

I'm glad I'm not the only one waiting for this!

I was debating actually getting this title. See, my brother is in the military and he actually volunteered to go to Afghanistan. Was there for the majority of 07. And when I saw the miniseries in HD on Movie Central, I thought he'd really dig it. But I ended up getting BAND OF BROTHERS for him, since it was on sale at Rogers and decided to just pick it up, since it has some entertainment value to it. While GENERATION KILL is just as good, I think it's a bit dry for my brother. Plus, I'm not sure if he wants to be reminded of that. Don't get me wrong, my brother's not shell shocked or anything. It's just that I think he'd dig BAND OF BROTHERS more.

I was curious as to when, if ever, will this come out on Blu. It was supposed to be released with the DVD date but got pushed back, and I haven't heard a peep. I even searched on amazon and nothing.
