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.
