Yes. Yes it is. My anger clouded my proper use of acronym punctuation… And it was a little chilly when I wrote the post.

Mate, that nails my sentiments into a nice succinct paragraph. Too true. Especially, when TV is broadcast in 1080i on Foxtel and then we get 576i discs we have to resort to upscaling for HD… It's bloody ridiculous to have to watch inferior PQ.

Glad Defiance is finally coming to BD (heard recently that commercial TV had to play it first, before they could do a BD/DVD release… Sons of Anarchy fans should know this frustrating truth).

Just purchased Orange is the New Black S1 from Amazon UK (at a reasonable price) and it's on its way. Wanted US copy (cheaper), but is Region A locked and while I have a Region A BD player, I wanted playability across my PS3 & PS4.

Now I have found that The Bridge (US) is DVD only in Australia. I shouldn't be surprised, but this is another show I started, got 2/3 of the way through (got busy) and then later, had to delete it off my Foxtel for space. Wanted to view the last few eps on a BD transfer. Now, once again I am forced to import!

And what is with The Sopranos Complete Series on Blu-Ray (which I have wanted for "donkeys").

I have been waiting for pre-orders to come up on Amazon US & UK. But nothing.
And there doesn't appear to be any confirmation of an Aussie release… Which I think we might just miss out on as well, to add to the list of BD releases our US & UK brethren get, that we won't.
