Early last month we
broke the news that Eagle Rock Entertainment is releasing
Blood Ties - The Complete Series on both
DVD and
Blu-ray Disc formats on
April 6th. Information was fairly thin about it at the time, but now we have an update for you about this title!
Sources tell us that the Blu-ray Disc version's specs will be high-def 1080p video (
a separate source says it will still be in 4x3 full frame format, however, as presented on the season-set DVD releases UPDATE: a source close to the project, and in a position to know for sure, informs us that the Blu-ray Disc release will be in 16x9 widescreen; we regret any confusion from the earlier information). Audio will be in 2.0 DTS-HD MA, preserving the original stereo sound format but providing it in a lossless version. English subtitles are also on board. Bonus material consists of a Behind-the-Scenes Featurette, a Photo Gallery (presented in high-def on the Blu-ray version), and Trailers. Cost is $44.99 SRP for a 4-BD set.
The distributor shows that the DVD version will be in standard-definition 4x3 full frame video (NOTE: 4x3 is confirmed for the DVD release), and 2.0 Stereo Sound. Extras are not mentioned for it at this time, but are expected to be similar to the Blu-ray version (they would be the same supplements as in the already-available separate season sets, after all). Cost is $39.97 SRP for a 7-disc set. Here's the front cover art for the DVD version (as you can see, it's very close to the
Season 2 cover design); the Blu-ray box is expected to be the same:
