Band of Brothers - Blu-ray Forum

Brian Cash · 01-12-2008, 01:42 AM

I dont know about anyone else but I think Band of Brothers would be absolutely amazing on bd anyone know if that might be in the future

Verbal · 01-12-2008, 01:44 AM

Firstly, Band of Brothers is right up there with Star Wars in terms of most-discussed unannounced eventual BD releases.

Secondly, of course it'll happen...it's a cash cow for HBO. Watch them charge $150 for it.

Brian Cash · 01-12-2008, 01:46 AM

yeah will i bought it on reg dvd and it was like 100 bucks so fifty more for bd is well worth the money

Lethal91 · 01-12-2008, 01:48 AM

there was a link flooting around from warner showing that BOB is in the making right now for blu with no date

WaRe · 01-12-2008, 01:48 AM

We should see BOD on bd soon enough now that HBO switched side.

Brian Cash · 01-12-2008, 01:50 AM

i think it will be by far the best box set for bd like a movie to show off bd

JimSD · 01-12-2008, 01:55 AM

There is a thread in the HD DVD software forum at AVS that has comparison screen shots of the Band of Brothers DVD and a BoB HD DVD release in Japan. There is quite a bit more detail in the HD version. I'm sure I'll double dip when it hits Blu-ray.

Verbal · 01-12-2008, 01:56 AM

I have HD versions of BoB on my hard drive...it's phenomenal.

WickyWoo · 01-12-2008, 01:57 AM

D-day anniversary is next year. Probably then

Verbal · 01-12-2008, 01:59 AM

Not to nitpick, but D-Day anniversary is every year. That's why it's an anniversary.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw it before Christmas.

Brian Cash · 01-12-2008, 02:02 AM

65th anniversary. The 5 year ones get the most attention

Verbal · 01-12-2008, 02:07 AM

^^
And on that day, we'll see Saving Private Ryan on BD.

Just like they did a 60th Anniversary DVD back in '04.

AnimeOnBlu · 01-12-2008, 03:01 AM

I'm wondering if they will release the Blu-ray of BoB to coincide with the television release of "The Pacific".

UTVOL06 · 01-12-2008, 03:01 AM

I can't wait for BoB to hit Blu-ray.

Adam13 · 01-12-2008, 03:42 AM

Band of Brothers is THE best 12 hours of anything you will ever see.

Those are pending release dates, up in the air. Won't be coming out now on HD-DVD, but those a good sign we'll see it on Blu. Can't wait!

Apollo 18 · 01-12-2008, 04:32 AM

Yup. I almost bought this on regular DVD a while back... But then i decided to wait for the Blu Ray release.

dannyjl · 01-12-2008, 04:39 AM

B of B is on one of the HD channels (wowow) this weekend (right now) in Japan. I checked out the first part of #2, "Day of Days" and can only say how incredible this looks and sounds! I have the dvd and would jump on the blu version in a moments notice when it comes out.

Saving Private Ryan is on now (some hours later) and it also looks stunning in HD. Can't wait for these to hit blu.
