Does anyone know if they are going to release the seasons on Blu-Ray anytime soon? I know the Christmas special is coming which I can't wait for!

I saw that Season 5 will be on Blu-ray, on Amazon. It's not official but it's listed

The early seasons were filmed in 4:3 standard definition, so there would be no point to a Blu-ray release - there is no HD source, so no HD Blu-ray can be made without upscaling (which is what an upscaling DVD player can do with your DVDs). It looked like season 4 was going to come out on BD, but that never panned out - the DVDs are 4:3 though, so I wouldn't be surprised if season 4 was also stuck in standard definition land.

Season 5 is airing in widescreen now and I think they're using HD - so season 5 on Blu-ray should at least be technically possible. Hopefully it will come out on BD.

It's airing in widescreen now, but it still looks pretty crappy. I think it's just an upscale from standard def digital video.

Incase any one is looking to grab up the first three seasons for cheap, each is on sale at Target for $18.99 each. Pretty sweet deal, even for standard def.

Just checked Amazon and they have the 3rd season for $18.99, oh and the 1st and 2nd are sold together for $21.99 on Amazon and $18.99 at Target.

The christmas special is coming out on tuesday, think it's worth a buy, supposedly it's about an hour long, and at least on TV Sunny has a pretty bad PQ even when in 1080i on FX HD. Anyone picking this up?
