ER - Correct Street Date, Details For ER - The Complete 8th Season

A few weeks ago we posted news saying that we had the release date for ER - The Complete 8th Season on DVD. At the time we gave "December 18th" as the date, which seemed to fit in properly with earlier info - found in (and scanned from) an insert that came with the recent Nip/Tuck release - where Warner said "Season 8 coming December 2007".

Today we've learned that the December plans have changed, and that the 12/18 date we previously gave is actually the "order due date" deadline for retailers to get their orders placed, in order to stock their shelves in time for street date. So what IS the actual street date for this 6-disc set? January 22nd! Cost will be $49.98 SRP.

Extras will be included in this package, but we don't have details about their content just yet. And we still only have the box art scanned from the insert ad mentioned above (see below), but we do have the studio description and a disc-by-disc listing of the episodes for you right now:

Excitement. Suspense. Joy. Grief. All in a heartbeat. Twenty-two of the best, most compelling hours on television unfold in this powerful, series-changing Season 8 of ER.

New hopefuls - Army Reservist Michael Gallant and brash Gregory Pratt - arrive to face the challenges of Trauma One life. A familiar face - Dr. Susan Lewis - returns. Benton weighs career and family. Malucci crosses the line once too often. Chen defies demotion. And Greene fights what could be his last battle, leaving a void at the group's heart.

His leadership may never be replaced, but someone must step into the breach. That someone is the doctor who's now been in the ER the longest - the former student who seemed to have the most to learn: Dr. John Carter.
