Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Season One Blu-ray

[Nailwraps]

It's a shame it's getting a DVD-R. With how popular this incarnation is and the franchise combined, you think the DVD would also be pressed (and sold at retail). I'll buy both formats definitely, but it's a missed opportunity.

I'll leave you with this advice; if you make the Blu-ray sell, it'll probably convince Paramount to look into releasing at the very least the 2012 and Rise series on Blu next.

You can forget about the 87 series ever receiving a Blu-ray; the original negatives, as far as everyone knows, are gone. Master tapes are all that exist. Your best shot is to hope that Fred Wolf miraculously has the negatives in his possession.

I'm curious - why buy both? The contents are more than likely going to be identical, wouldn't a Blu-ray just effectively be a better version of the DVD?

I still love DVDs and my bedroom has a CRT TV and a DVD player (plus a VCR AND a DVD/VCR combo) and I have no intention of replacing it. Meanwhile, my living room has a Blu-ray player and an HDTV.

It all depends on where I want to watch it. Some days you want to watch the Blu-ray in the living room, other days you want to watch the DVD in your bedroom.

They could at least go back to the master tapes and give us a new transfer. The absolutely ancient transfers on the current DVDs are nowhere near the PQ you’d get from a master tape. And a new release could fix up things like episode running order.
