Nick Schedules the New 2012 Show for DVD with 'Rise of the Turtles' - Page 9

As much as I would prefer this too , I just hope we don't have to deal with the same Dvd situation from the 4 kids series.

No Blu-Ray release annoys me. I probably won't bother picking up the DVD's. Especially if they're full frame. I have them all in saved in HD on my DVR, but would like to get them without commercials. Got an Apple TV for Christmas so I'll probably just get the season pass from iTunes to get them them HD and commercial free in the digital realm.

Blu-Ray has been dubbed the "last physical format" with the move towards digital. And it seems that unless it's top of the Neilson ratings, newly released TV shows (old or new) are the first to fall prey to what will probably become the new standard where the physical format releases will only be in DVD to accomidate those with just legacy hardware in their homes. The rest of us will be forced to obtain this type of media digitally for playback through a digital player of some kind (HTPC, Apple TV, Game System, Smart TV, etc.) if we wish to purchase content in HD.

i dont like buying things online, but i like digital media. i wonder if it'd be possible to get things on a flash drive in a store. that'd be a form of physical media that i feel could benefit both sides of the digital vs tangible argument.

i was just thinking the same thing. But I'm those type of people that likes to have the actual physical media in my possession. Oh well, times are changing...I don't really mind that much

I've got the eps from Itunes on a flash drive, it's very handy to just plug it into the blu-ray player and enjoy.

*Cipher* · 01-02-2013, 06:51 PM

Going to hold out for a full-season Blu-Ray or DVD release, since (re: the whole digital media argument earlier in the thread) I hate watching TV on a computer and the only online-capable things hooked up to my TV are a Blu-Ray player that requires an ethernet connection and a Wii.

If we finish the season and it doesn't look like we'll be getting a competent physical releas, I'll just download the season on iTues and put it on a flash drive to plug into the Blu-Ray player like the poster above me. I have a feeling this might become something I have to do more often in the future anyway, so ...

Also, also, re: the whole digital media thing, I'm totally down for it. I hate discs taking up space and their fragility (in fact, the life-long aspect of a digital release is one of the most appealing aspects). But I'm not into switching over completely until playing files on your TV is absolutely as easy as popping in a disc (it's sill not), and the presentation is as nice. (Do digital releases typically come with the standard home-release extra featues? Commentary, etc.? I'm honestly ignorant on this.)

For anyone who may have missed it when I posted, but you can download Season 1 in HD through Xbox Live.

I've never specifically looked for such a thing, but I've never noticed digital downloads of commentaries or deleted scenes before... for anything.

*NinjaMan* · 01-02-2013, 10:21 PM

PSN store has the show in HD as well.

*CyberCubed* · 01-02-2013, 10:22 PM

If they're in HD on itunes, the PSNstore, and Xbox Live...I don't see why a blu-ray set shouldn't come eventually.

I think this DVD release is just a budget release for parents to buy their children but then they're release a Season 1 blu-ray set after the season ends sometime in May or June.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 01-02-2013, 11:12 PM

Wow on both XBL and PSN, cool

Eventually, yeah. Within the next decade or even half of that? Not so sure.

Nick is slowly getting into releasing any of their stuff on Bluray, so only time will tell.

not usually, but hopefully that changes as digital media becomes more prevelant.

The reason? Making a blu-ray set and distributing it would cost money. More money then they'd make back. Putting it on the digital services costs next to nothing really.

*CyberCubed* · 01-03-2013, 08:30 AM

Don't blu rays sell more than digital?

*Spitfire* · 01-03-2013, 09:04 AM

Yay a DVD how 2013

It's about even. Even if they did, it wouldn't be worth the money to produce on blu-ray.

It simply would not sell enough copies to justify it. The only people that care about a blu release are adult fans and that's a pretty small minority.

*Spitfire* · 01-03-2013, 09:15 PM

Every children's film gets a BR release, in most cases a combo pack release, so I fail to see why they can't do one of those for their cartoons. DVD has to go away eventually I find it weird its clung on as long as it has.
