"CSI" coming to Blu-ray, but "CSI: Miami" and "CSI:NY" are not - Blu-ray Forum

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Ninth Season Blu-ray Review

Most of you probably know that "CSI - Season 9" will hit Blu-ray sometime in September, and that announcement made me a very happy man. I was cautiously optimistic in regards to "CSI: Miami" and "CSI:NY", but I shouldn't have been. Today, "Miami"'s seventh season was announced for DVD only.

It really, really annoys me that CBS is splitting the shows up, with one of them coming to Blu and the other two not. Was that really necessary? Would it have been too much to ask to release all three shows on BD?

Well, obviously yes.

Maybe the decision was based on DVD sales? And they are really 3 different shows so just because something happens with one, you can't assume it for the others.

Not a big surprise. CSI is the top-ranked scripted show on TV, while the other 2 versions aren't in the top 10. If CSI's sales are high enough then it's likely next year will feature all the series on Blu-ray. That may happen anyways if Blu-rays market share is high enough.

You're right, of course. But it'll look stupid on the shelf anyway.

I don't care for CSI: Miami and NY much, so this doesn't affect me, but I want the rest of the CSI series on BD. I bought season 1 one DVD and am now holding out for Blu-ray editions of the other seasons.

CSI: Miami shouldn't. That lead character, that red haired guy, is probably the worst actor I've ever seen. Don't know how he got into primetime.

I see you are correct about that. Only Dolby Digital 5.1. Still, they were cheaper on blu-ray than they were on DVD.

Well, after 2 years Only seasons 1 and 9 have been released on Blu. I'm still waiting on the reast of the original CSI seasons. That Capt. Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) is such a hunk.
