SRP got discussed quite a bit earlier in the thread, and IIRC ~$250-300 was the overall guess consensus, given the show's large size and high profile.

I would pay $500 right now!

It is 120 episodes... but they are half-hour episodes. Hard to place a value on extras... but this is also something that hasn't been available to home video for purchase in any format... so it isn't just a Blu-ray release but an entirely new to home release.

I wonder... is it going to be one huge package with Blu + DVD + digital copy? Or will they split that up? All-in-one would make it more expensive.

I'm guessing we are talking a $299+ "MSRP" though... but that could mean $200 or less retail on release.

This is probably a set they can name a price for a while in the beginning if they want given that it has not been available in any home format before... so normal pricing rules may not apply.

Okay. I'm in! This is really cool news! I'm guessing the price on this will be similar to the Get Smart/ The Man From U.N.C.L.E. sets?

My guess, 20 discs $175-200.

[Alhlan Ain Ajeeba]

Please Warner Bros, offer a same day release on Amazon UK. The import duties for a set like this would be enormous !!!!

Luckily, WB is releasing it, meaning there will be deals eventually.

[stvn1974]

WB so 99.9% chance it gets released in a book style packaging with the discs sliding in and out of cardboard sleeves?

On one hand, that makes sense based on some other releases - on the other, because of the expected sales of this, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it for say a $199 MSRP.

They'd sell twice as many at that street price (which would probably be $139/149 in the case of $199 MSRP) than they would at $250-300 ($200-250 street).

It very well could go either way - this is pretty much the most "sure thing" released on Blu-ray since Star Wars, though, that I think they may be more competitive than conservative in it's pricing.

[batfan08]

This is...beautiful. Absolutely beautiful...bring on the 24th, when we hear the full details, though, really, this is all that I needed. The confirmation that it's on Blu-Ray brought a huge smile to my face.

I loves me some Adam West. Can't wait!

As long as they refer to it as 'bat style packaging' and 'bat-sleeves', people will buy it, lol.
