I wish they made a blu-ray set for this series

[CyberCubed]

Really can't believe they still didn't make one after all this time. There's the DVD set with all 124 episodes but I held out on purchasing it because I waited for a blu-ray release that never came. This show being in CG really needs to be the highest resolution possible as obviously the CG models have become dated as 10+ years have gone by, let alone in the future.

Is there any way we can drum up interest in a blu-ray set?

I expected this to be an old thread that got necroposted with news that a blu-ray release finally got announced. Well, better get that Paramount+ subscription then...

Though, I kinda have to ask do Paramount execs like... Feel disappointed with this show or something? From what I can tell, even all the DVD box sets are just the standalone volume discs packaged together, not even labelled by number to keep them straight (I know the ones in mine are), as if it wasn't even worth making better labels to be sure of the order, let alone better discs with more content.

Is Blu-Ray still even a thing?

CDs of any kind feel like old man technology

You can find vinyl of new music if you want to, here is the soundtrack for K-Pop Demon Hunters on vinyl.

So yes, it might be a niche interest to collect Blu-Rays but they are still being produced. If you want a practical reason for buying Blu-Rays instead of just being subscribed to streaming services, you could take a look at how much media they remove each year, or how much that "cheap" subscription fee adds up over the course of a few year and how many subscriptions you need to pay for to ensure you'll have access to just about anything.

I could never truly get behind this obsession with Blu-Ray. I'll buy both the DVD and Blu-Ray version of a movie, play them one after on another on my big screen television set via my Blu-Ray player, and see no real difference between either format. It's like that meme from The Office:

It really only matters on shows produced in the last decade, or in releases where they try to cram too many episodes onto one disc. Trust me, the drop in image quality is notable.

But generally speaking, DVD will suffice, especially on older shows that themselves were produced in a lower resolution, so blu-ray truly makes no difference. But for newer shows? The blu-ray is definitely better. But yeah, the effect is less pronounced the farther back you go.

4k and up is nonsense though. It's literally past the resolution of the human eye.

Yep, no difference at all between 480p (640 pixels by 480 pixels -- DVD resolution) and 1080p (1920 pixels by 1080 pixels -- blu-ray resolution). None. Zero.

You must have a real sh** "big screen TV." Or need a new eye prescription.

I want the show in an HD release too, but if I bought it then it would be for the novelty of it. That's just how it is nowadays - I don't think I ever made my way 100% through all of the discs on the Fred Wolf show.

When I throw one of those in, it's completely at random as background noise, or it's basically only to watch the season 1 "movie". I don't know how much I'd actually watch the '12 show again.
