Prison Break: Season Four (2008-2009)

[Samuray]

Well then, it's decided. Ever since the official press release regarding "Prison Break - Season 4" came out a few days ago, it's been clear that Fox has no plans to put the final season of this fine show on BD. (see TVShowsOnDVD.com for the release).

There's not much we can do about that, but I wanted to voice my disappointment about this increasingly common policy of studios to release a season of any show on Blu-ray Disc, but not the subsequent season(s). "Prison Break" is just the latest example of this.

It all started with "Rescue Me", then came "Nip/Tuck". The new "Robin Hood" series by the BBC followed, and if I were a betting man I would put a large sum of money on the prediction that "Damages" will be abandoned on BD as well.

I understand that some sets did not sell well, but just stopping those releases sends a horrible message existing and potential Blu-ray customers. Instead, why not release the following season for a lower price, maybe about 10$ more than the respective DVD counterpart? Looking at shows like "Weeds" and "Mad Men", it's obviously not impossible to do.

Anyway, I am massively disappointed that "Prison Break - Season 4" will not come out on BD. Not only will I have to watch the show in SD again, it also looks quite ridiculous on the shelf when one season is on Blu-ray and the one after it is not. I say that as a collector, though....most people probably don't care about that.

Ok, just needed to get this off my chest, and I thought a whole new thread for Season 4 (or lack thereof) would be better than discussing it in the Season 2 topic.
