Yes, you read that correctly!
Highlander: The Series - Season 1 is coming to high-definition Blu-ray Disc soon, with a release that will not be available in stores. LegendaryHeroes.com, the official online store for Davis Merchandising and Davis-Panzer Productions, has
an order listing posted for a Blu-ray version of the 1st Season. Cost is $39.95, and the first 1000 orders placed will receive a free bonus Katana Mini-Sword, of the type Duncan wields.
When is this available? The listing seems to be pretty clear in saying this is a pre-order, yet the bottom of the page says "
Anticipated Release Date: February 15, 2008." That's nine months ago, so naturally we figure that the year is a typo, and they really mean "2009". We checked with the folks there to be sure, and we we've found out is that the Blu-ray release will indeed be coming
sometime in 2009. In fact, take the "February" with a grain of salt, because
it could be as late as the Late Summer/Early Fall before this is ready to ship. That's the latest, anway...they expect it to be ready a lot sooner than that, but right now they're not certain, so they're basically hedging their bets.
Will this be the only
Highlander season on Blu-ray? No! We're told to expect every season of the show on high-def discs at some point, too, so stay tuned for word about that. Our thanks to reader Ed Kopp for the heads-up about this, after seeing an ad about it over on FaceBook. Ed notes that the ad indicated that there will be "a limited number of sets" for this Blu-ray release, so don't dawdle. Get your copy of
Highlander: The Series - Season 1 on Blu-ray Disc lined up right away, and get your bonus mini-sword lined up along with it...before they're all spoken for!
