Boardwalk Empire coming to Blu-ray in January

Boardwalk Empire coming to Blu-ray in January

Boom goes the dynamite! Justin over at High Def Disc News just got the scoop on the Boardwalk Empire Blu-ray release we’ve all been waiting to hear about. The January 10th release date that’s been circulating for the past week or so is confirmed, as is the standard HBO feature set. So, I guess the only big mystery here is why the studio is waiting until January to get this into stores, completely missing out on the Second Season launch of the series as well as the holiday buying season.

Forums are speculating that it could have something to do with boosting post-holiday margins but I’m not so sure. HBO usually has a boxed set release going into the holidays and this year they’re coming up pretty short, with only a re-packaged Band of Brothers/Pacific offering that isn’t quite going to set sales on fire (I had good money on either The Wire or the rest of The Sopranos hitting Blu in November but that’s not happening.) It looks to me as if something is up over there. I just don’t know what. Let’s hope they get it all sorted before Game of Thrones is due to come out on Blu. I want to watch the first season again before new episodes air, don’t you?
