No UK Blu for Veronica Mars - Blu-ray Forum

gregmss · 04-24-2014, 03:16 PM

I know it's easy to import, but the fact that they're actually releasing the show on DVD, I'd imagine WB would think there's enough call for a blu release. Oh well, I can't say I'm surprised, just disappointed. Anyone else a little disappointed on this one?

CalumM97 · 04-24-2014, 03:46 PM

Yeah, also disappointed about this

Was hoping to pick this up on release as I didn't get a chance to see it on its extremely limited release here. A wasted opportunity not to release it on BD I think. The film looked great.

Looks like I'll have to settle for the DVD

It was a very satisfying watch so this is unwelcome news. It seems either stupid or short-sighted to me as the UK is the 2nd biggest English-language market in the world and also a place where BD has a decent user base. If the Scandinavian nations and Germany are getting a BD release of this, why not us?

Mansinthe · 04-24-2014, 04:25 PM

Germany is the 2nd biggest bluray market in the EU since a while

ycbbh · 04-24-2014, 04:44 PM

Actually, since the last quarter of 2013 you guys have become the biggest EU market. It makes sense that there's a German release, should be equally logical that there be a UK one

Will be speaking to Warner about this...

Too damn right they will! Seeing them soon. I'm hoping they placate me with lego.

Why? Warner discs are region free.

levcore · 04-25-2014, 07:47 AM

Is this out in the US now then? Are they releasing the show on Blu?

The film will be released 6th May in the US. Pre-order is only $14.99 on Amazon

As to the TV show, I'm not sure maybe someone else has some insider info

IscariotJ · 04-25-2014, 08:05 AM

This doesn't surprise me at all. The same thing has happened with the VM book; it's available in dead tree format, but not as an eBook or audiobook.

Keeping hoping for the show to released on BD, but I think it unlikely.

Import it is, then....

Gizz · 04-25-2014, 08:08 AM

I read somewhere that Warner's said the series did not sell well on DVD. However If they change there minds I would be up for a it. Loved the series and really looking forward to seeing the film.

I've had the series for a while on DVD, but I imported it ( the DVD is oddly region 0 ). I'm not sure, but I think the forthcoming box set is the first time it's official been released in the UK ( excluding the iTMS, where it's partially available in HD ).

I don't understand WB, everything they do with VM seems to be half hearted.

Totally 100 % they just don't care it should not have taken this long for the UK to get the series.

thewerepuppygrr · 04-25-2014, 08:41 AM

Yeah it probably didn't sell well because fans of the series have already imported it donkey's years ago. I know I did.

Zippyfan · 04-25-2014, 08:57 AM

I just started watching the Series and was looking forward to picking up the film on BD...ah well

Amazon.com is probably your best bet....

Was cheapest from Amazon.com when I was looking. The Scandinavian and German releases are more expenses as you can get the US for around £13 from Amazon delivered (that's cheapest shipping so 2 to 3 weeks to arrive).

It's weird that it's not in eBook format. Still, books are always better.
