Also Netflix has shit compressed sound that's not even real 5.1 while blurays have true hd sound so purchasing blus makes sense.

I just hope they don't try to purposefully cram the discs and use low bitrate video to give their streaming service a fake advantage. Or be really shitty and not release it with lossless audio. It's not like Netflix as a company is physical media friendly.

If this were a Sony TV release and not a Netflix controlled show I would feel much better. Their House of Cards (Netflix distributed) Blu-ray's are normally excellent.

No reason they would do that at all. They will sell buckets of this on Blu-Ray. Already so High interest for it says its another way they will earn money on the seasons for this show before a new season start for years to come.

Is an order up on Target ?

xHank_Hillx · 10-05-2017, 07:46 AM

Everything about this is perfect so far (the packaging, price and the fact that it's actually being released at all!!!). Please have a good transfer though!

DanielC · 10-05-2017, 07:50 AM

I really need this but I'm in Europe.

Any chance somebody can pick this up for me?

I have a pre-ordered Arrow's exclusive UK steelbook of The Thing to trade which is coming out soon.

mredman · 10-05-2017, 09:06 AM

Many overseas want this. So it must Come out overseas as well soon

lemonhead118 · 10-05-2017, 10:41 AM

Praying for a UK release. Don’t have a region free player so won’t import anything. C’mon Netflix, show us some love!!

Would be a head scratcher if its not getting a international release as well

Zombie Kermit · 10-05-2017, 11:37 AM

Ohhh man... being in Australia sucks sometimes. Don't suppose anyone here will be buying some to sell to some of your less fortunate co-members?

jayman3 · 10-05-2017, 11:45 AM

I wonder what the dimensions are for the discs to fit inside. I'm guessing it'll be DVD wide, with the thickness and height of a VHS case.

bookcase · 10-05-2017, 11:46 AM

I don't buy many TV series on BD, but I love this show and that packaging is awesome! Really looking forward to season 2, as well.

Foggy · 10-05-2017, 12:06 PM

U.K. release pls.

Spooked · 10-05-2017, 01:00 PM

Oh Sweet Christmas.

I need, like 4 copies. Maybe a case. You know - just in case.

Destinys Memory · 10-05-2017, 01:04 PM

Uh, hey Netflix? Can we get a release of Sense8? Target exclusive? Best Buy? Walmart? 7-eleven? No? Okay, how 'bout a digital release on VUDU? Amazon Video? FandangoNOW? Nope? Nothing at all, huh? Okay, awesome, thanks.

Bradsdadg · 10-05-2017, 01:12 PM

I honestly thought this was a joke at first, even though it's not April 1st

Sign me up for it though, day 1 purchase if I can find it

PowellPressburger · 10-05-2017, 01:13 PM

Curious where did these pictures and info come from? Looks someone working at Target let the cat out of the bag before Netflix / Target could announce it. Something tells me they wanted to drop this like a surprise.

Haha! What? You want Netflix to release a digital version of Sense 8. Isn’t it already a digital release? How would any of those other digital platforms be better than Netflix?

Owning a digital copy is better than being subscribed to Netflix in perpetuity, while hoping they don't suddenly decide to remove it. It's not that hard to understand.

Does this include a UV code? Weird if it doesn't. Orange is the New Black and House of Cards always come with UV codes.

Hellhound · 10-05-2017, 01:31 PM

Not thrilled about the packaging, but I'll be getting this regardless.
