Blu-ray already!

[Diorm]

Ok, seriously. A great looking show like this not even on bluray like Clone Wars? Why?
And why are they releasing all the episodes on single dvd spread over a lot of boxes (thats taking a lot of space on a shelf!).
Release full seasons in boxsets and bluray! :x

[CyberCubed]

The Nick DVDs are aimed at kids and are done cheaply so their parents will buy them for them.

I don't expect blu-ray sets until the show is over. Those will be aimed at adults.

[Klunk1234]

They never did that with the 2k3 TMNT. I hope they release in Blu-Ray the 2k12 series soon.

Why are you telling us? Send Nick an email. Complaining here won't help.

Thread title = misleading.

Shame on you, O.P.

[Leo656]

Also? Most people truly don't care. When pressed, a significant chunk of people admit that they can only perceive negligible difference in picture quality between DVD and Blu-ray unless they have a certain size TV. And, as mentioned, little kids completely don't know or care. So, if you're Nick, why spend the money? I wouldn't.

[evan2000]

It doesn't bother me that Blu-ray isn't available for this series yet. There are HD releases available digitally for those who care about visual quality. And then there are DVD releases for those who wants physical media. Of course Blu-ray release would be the best of both worlds, but it's not like we're missing anything now.

It's probably much higher cost to make Blu-ray Discs than good ol' DVD, and releasing them both at the same time would certainly mean that DVD sales is going to trump BD sales big time due to the lower price for the same content (parents/kids don't care about video resolution). If they only release BD without DVD, people who don't own a BD player would be left out. So it only makes business sense to release DVD first, and only consider Blu-ray when the TMNT franchise is much more stable financially. When that happens, they might even have the budget to include more bonus features for the "collector's set" or something.

So guys, be patient :twink:

They don't know opportunity when there's clear demand for the blu ray.

Don't want it? Fine, your loss Nick. Legend of Korra already has Blu Rays for it - all 4 seasons! Damn Nick you suck.

Sorry, I thought about it but I didnt know how to wright it.

Since when did that helped?

Why good cg show already got there bluray seasons each years (targeted for kids) and not this one? I'm seriously wondering. I don't want those cheap kid DVD. They don't want to release on bluray? Fine. Just release single seasons set.

[Powder]

Why are you asking me? Again, you're preaching to the choir. Go contact a Nickelodeon employee.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

They never did that with the 2k3 TMNT.

Why do people always say that? I'm pretty certain the 4Kids masters are 4:3 SD, save for Turtles Forever.

Title of this thread is so misleading! Ugh! I got so excited for nothing.

This show would look great on Blu-Ray.

Please direct me to where the clamoring, overwhelming, clear demand for blu-rays of this show are.

Because twenty-some people of a franchise's related forum? Demand that ain't. Other than this forum, I've seen a grand total of 3 people make a defiant urge for this show on blu-ray. I want to see on blu-ray also, but I'm not blind. There is no mass clamoring as everyone on here keeps saying.

Add about 999,980 more people to that number and then you can say "clear demand".

Until then, sorry. Nick will laugh at you until they turn blue in the face.

I wasn't. I'm just crying my pain here so someone could give me a pat on the back... :tcry:


Someone can explain why they keep releasing those cheap kid DVD? It's like we are back at the beginning of the 2000 when DVD were new and they were releasing everything in those cheap DVD until someone decided to release season boxes (well, the ones that doesnt take more than 1" of space, actually).

[Leo656]

I already did explain it. :lol:

[evan2000]

See my explanation too :trazz:

[senpai]

I wasn't. I'm just crying my pain here so someone could give me a pat on the back... :tcry:

*pat pat* S'okay, buddy. :D I feel your pain too. But unfortunately I haven't heard anything yet of blu-ray so who knows when it'll come out...I'm almost tempted to buy season 1 just because I like owning stuff...but I know that when blu-ray comes out that original buy will be for nothing.

[evan2000]

That's not true, it wouldn't be for nothing.

That's like saying when you buy a new phone, your old phone would be bought for nothing. Doesn't make sense.

If the Blu-ray ever comes out one day and you buy it, you can always give the DVD to someone else. Besides, just in case the Blu-ray never comes out, at least you'd still have the DVD to keep.

Saying it has no demand for it is beyond ignorant and foolish.
Other shows have it, clearly there's demand for it too based on the ratings. Different thing about tmnt, it has toys, dvd, comics and merchandise to go with it. Moreover, the blu Rays are compliment to them. Simple economy logic tbh.

Stick to your outdated dvds and don't mess people's hope for HD content. That's like saying, before the tmnt blu Rays came out, there's no demand for it. Ridiculous and utter rubbish. :roll:

Only thing I can think why no blu Ray atm because they needed the repeat viewing audience. If everyone has it on top quality, there's no reason to watch it again on TV, resulting their loss.

If we want to be so anal, rightfully it's not up to me or you or anyone else here to judge the demand level. It's up to Nick to do their own research. All we can do here is speculate.

[evan2000]

But everyone who wants to have it on top quality is already able to do that! There are HD versions available digitally, not to mention selected episodes that are streamed in HD for free at the Nick website from time to time.

I'm still sticking with my theory that Blu-ray discs involve higher cost to produce (compared to DVD and digital HD streaming) and the TMNT franchise has to reach certain level of ROI before they can justify producing it. And since the selling price is going to be higher, they'd have to include extra features that also require more budget and time to prepare, therefore if it does happen it won't be so soon.

[Shark_Blade]

Nick website is absolutely terrible, the videos are so low quality and riddled with annoying commercials. I have to use Hola(?) as it doesn't cater to us, Evan.

HD versions? On iTunes you mean? I prefer peak performance, so no thank you. :(

Mmm. Yeah, you make a fair point. I just don't want to splurge so much on TMNT! If I'm gonna buy season 1, I only wanna do it once. (I was that person that was buying them on single discs when they first came out -_-) And now it feels like a waste. I know that when I buy season 1 then later blu-ray comes out I'm gonna have that feeling all over again. I do have nephews I could pass my old TMNT stuff to. But they aren't as big of fans as I am. I'm like what's wrong with you? This is one of the best cartoons on TV right now and you'd rather watch Spongebob! Get outta hereeee

[chrisdude]

I'll probably be buying the next version of AppleTV. I've got a few favorite episodes on iTunes, but I'd probably go ahead and buy them all, hit "Subscribe," and be done with it. :ohwell:
