Here you go Blu-Benny! Just caught word of this today. Unfortunately, the article states that there won't be a Blu-ray release, but only DVD.

Packers' championship playoff DVD set to be released

By Bob Wolfley of the Journal Sentinel
Nov. 2, 2011 11:35 a.m.

A four-disc DVD set of the Packers' championship run in the playoffs last season, "NFL Green Bay Packers: Road to XLV," is scheduled to be available in stores on Nov. 29 with the suggested retail price of $39.93.

Vivendi Entertainment, the National Football League and NFL Films have produced and are distributing the DVD set. Vivendi announced the release date of the set on Wednesday.

Each disc is a game telecast of the four teams the Packers beat in the playoffs: Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and Pittsburgh. The discs carry "the original network broadcasts" according to a press release. All four of those games were broadcast on Fox. The commercial breaks and halftime programming have been edited out, according to a spokesman for Vivendi.

At first, a spokesman for Vivendi said the set was to be available in Blu-ray, but later in the day said it was not going to be available in Blu-ray.

Earlier this year, the DVD “NFL Super Bowl XLV Champions: Green Bay Packers,” was released with much fanfare. That NFL Films production was distributed by Warner Home Video.

Subsequent to the release of that DVD, NFL Films struck a deal with Vivendi, which is now the exclusive distributor for NFL Films home entertainment programming. The Packers’ playoff set is the first under the Vivendi banner.

Here's the address to a statement from the Vivendi Company regarding their agreement with the NFL to distribute Super Bowl XLV. There are 2 email addresses at the end of the statement. Maybe we can get somewhere by writing to these people, asking for a bluray release. The odds are probably against it, but it can't hurt to try, can it? (FWIW, I wrote to both).
