Blu Ray and DVD Release

**zomtom** · 02-Dec-2010

They should strike while the grill is hot. There's alot of buzz about this show and if they release it within a few months it should sell pretty well. I will definately own the blu ray the day it is released. I wouldn't expect too many extras. Much of what we see on the AMC site is what they will probably offer.

I'm curious: Has anyone here bought any of AMC's other original program on DVD, and if so, do those sets include the addition of any edited out footage? I ask because I am confident there are many bits that hit the cutting room floor from The Walking Dead and I'd very much like to see some of the worthy stuff put back in.

While we're on the subject of the DVD, anyone think we can beg, plead and persuade Darabont to put the stupid "flash forward" at the beginning of Days Gone Bye back to its rightful chronological place in the feature AS WELL as restore the rest of the footage from that scene that can clearly be seen from one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes?

Same here. Darabont's commentaries in the past have been very interesting. Definitely wanting to hear his thoughts on episode one. Maybe he'll also sit in on some of the other episodes?

Looking at the features listed on Amazon, Breaking Bad has deleted scenes. Mad Men also has commentary on every episode. That's what I'm hoping for...

yeah, i've got all seasons of breaking bad and mad men. there's some deleted scenes, commentaries, cool bonus features, etc. and they are very nicely boxed.

Amazon had the three available seasons of Mad Men for 9.99 on Blu Ray the other day. I meant to go back and get them, but missed out on it. Now they're back at regular price. D'oh!

According to Amazon, it'll be released on March 8th.

Hrrrmmmm. That's new. I actually checked Amazon yesterday and that wasn't there. This also jives with what THR was reporting. Looks like it may be spring...

holy shit, 10 bucks per season on blu-ray? i've not even made the switch yet, but i'd have ordered them at that price anyway, so i'd have them when i upgrade...christ, 10 bucks, what a deal.

Yeah, I'm hoping that at least will be restored to the show, given it's the one deleted scene everyone knows exists

They've just had a commercial on AMC suggesting that you pre-order TWD through Amazon. Amazon has a March 8th release scheduled.

Looks like March is the month, folks...

**hadrian0117** · 06-Dec-2010

The Mad Men DVDs are pretty sweet; every ep has at least one commentary track and often two. Never any deleted scenes though.

**bassman** · 10-Dec-2010

It's already been confirmed in a way, but these guys say it's definitely March 8th and will have "TONS" of special features including webisodes, making-of features, audio commentaries, and more.

And what they say is true....the price seems a bit steep for six episodes.
