Please use the search function under the forums section. This topic has been discussed several (understatement) times already.

P.S. I LOVE THE SHOW TOO!!! Just wait until you get to Season 6! I laughed. I cried. I fell in love. I have never found myself so emotionally invested in entertainment as I was with Season 6 of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.

The first two seasons of the show were shot on 16mm, so don't expect to be blown away by the picture quality. Also, the show was edited in the video domain, and many of the special effects were rendered at only standard definition on the early seasons. Someone would have to re-do much of it (like Star Trek) to make it blu-ray worthy.

Wow! I posted this over 2 years ago and I still feel as strongly now as I did then about season 6. My girlfriend and I just watched the entire series and I couldn't believe that I forgot how powerful season 6 is.

Totally agree about Buffy, would love the same for Charmed. Although as someone said above, they would probably have to redo elements and I can't imagine the studio would ever pay for that to happen? Buffy has a better chance of that happening.

Hopefully if they ever do put it on BD, they don't half ass it. Meaning, I know on DVDs, they have to squish the quality down to fit 4 episodes on an 8 gig DVD.
So that means they could prob just stick the "unsquished" versions of the episodes on bluray, but that would be totally half assed in my opinion.

What would be great about Buffy and Charmed on BD is LESS discs and better quality.

I can honestly say that I would pay any amount of money for the complete series of Buffy on blu-ray.

...Okay, probably not anything over $600. But I'd gladly pay $599.99!

The show really deserves to be re-mastered. I bought the VOD versions to get seasons 4-7 in widescreen but the bit rat was low and microblocking high, that I wanted to cry. I still want it to be known that I will pay more for this show for Blu-ray. Buffy will always be my favorite show and I will never stop watching the entire season @ least once a year.

I have faith they edited onto film. I saw Buffy and Angel episodes on an HD australian channel, episodes from 2001 and they were 1:85:1 ratio 16:9. Didn't appear cropped! Characters standing had lots of space on either side.

Just like quality of Seinfeld and Friends I've seen on aussie TV.

I'm really hoping Star Trek: The Next Generation performs well on Blu-ray and Fox takes notice and spends the money on Buffy. And please give us a Play All this time!!!

You know what I hate it when people like you say crap like that, have YOU ever tried to use the search function it SUCKS and btw I did a search for Buffy and guess which thread came up this one and it took several pages of unrelated crap.

You do realize that comment was made two years ago?

segagamer12 · 12-02-2011, 01:09 AM

well I wasn't here two years ago so what does that have to do with anything? You still said it and the fact remains the search is still broken.

TheOneWithThePrize · 12-02-2011, 05:48 PM

It isn't hard to get a good search result as long as you use the 'Advanced search' function and simply narrow it down to search titles only.

Ummmm, I wasn't the one who made that comment.

What does you not being here two years ago have to do with anything? New or old member, why would you respond to a comment that was made two years ago?

I easily found this thread. Went in Wish Lists, clicked Search this Forum and typed Buffy

Any word on whether or not Buffy will EVER be released on Bluray?
