HBO Home Video has announced 'The Sopranos: Season 6, Part 1' will be released on HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc on December 19. Astute readers might remember HBO originally planned to release the season on November 7 for HD-DVD only, so it would appear the delay was necessary to prep the set for a multi-format release.

Both versions will carry a steep SRP of $129.95 and include four audio commentaries with cast and crew including David Chase (“Kaisha”), Edie Falco, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler (“Join the Club”), Michael Imperioli, Tony Sirico and writer Terence Winter (“The Ride”) and writer Matthew Weiner (“Luxury Lounge”). Spanning four discs, the $129.95 puts the cost-per-disc at over $30. Of course, actual retail pricing should be significantly less, but still plan on opening up the wallet to take either version home.

I was kinda shocked at the DVD pricing of this set also.

The DVD pricing has always been high on it since it makes only so much of its money as an HBO exclusive. They haven't made all their money back on it from commercials and the like, so the retail market has to bear some of that.

I *want* this set. But I haven't made it past season 2 on DVD yet so this does me little good. I'll wait till there's a price drop on it in a year or two and as I get caught up. this is good to see coming out but I can stand to wait.

I've made it through the first four seasons, but then my girlfriend hasn't seen any, so I'm currently getting her caught up too.
We're on Season 3 Episode 1.
The DVD sets were always expensive for Sopranos too, CDN$100 is not unheard of.

I'm going to buy the whole series in HD and it'll cost me a mint.

Then I'll have to be Sex and the City for my gf because she's hooked.

Then I'll have to buy Rome and more. HBO is going to own my azz.
