Simpsons Blu Ray

Hello

This will be released day and date in the US on 18th December.

1080p AVC and 5.1 DTS MA

All extras in HD it seems.

Should be a very popular release!

Re: Simpsons Blu Ray

Looking forward to this but I guess it won't be region free.

Anyone know if it will be released in the UK too?

Re: Simpsons Blu Ray

Yes it will be a biggie.

I am sure it will get a UK release, but maybe not this side of Xmas- we might though!

Re: Simpsons Blu Ray

It'll be very interesting indeed to see how this does in high def.

On the one hand, comedies aren't traditionally so big on HD DVD or Blu-ray Disc.

On the other hand, 'The Simpsons' has pretty big cross-over appeal.

It really is a law unto itself.

Re: Simpsons Blu Ray

I think it will sell well.

Though not to me- I find the Simpsons quite dull

Re: Simpsons Blu Ray

There was a trailer of this on the PS Store a few months ago. Looked great in hi-def! Now all we need is for the ps3 to update for DTS-MA!!

I think that's been the case thus far and there's nothing to suggest Fox will change that anytime soon.
