DVD/Blu-ray: Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles – The Complete First Season


I’m looking forward to the Blu-ray release of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles – The Complete First Season which is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com.

Here’s a quot from the pressrelease:

BURBANK, CA (May 19, 2008) – The popular Terminator franchise has added a new and exciting chapter with the critically acclaimed TV series that has Sarah Connor running for her life…and for the future of all mankind. The ultimate tale of man-vs.-machine, Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season will be released on DVD and Blu-ray™ hi-def from Warner Home Video on August 19, 2008. Fans can own the three-disc set containing all nine one-hour episodes from season one just in time for the premiere of season two on FOX. The adrenaline-pumping DVD collection also includes amazing never-before-seen special features including a featurette with cast and crew, gag reel, commentaries, and “Terminated Scenes”. The series stars Lena Headey (300), Summer Glau (“The 4400“, “The Unit“, “Firefly“), Thomas Dekker (“Heroes“), and Richard T. Jones (Vantage Point, “Judging Amy“) and is priced to own at on DVD at $29.98 SRP, and $39.99 for Blu-ray™ hi-def .

Since this is a Warner release, it’s almost safe to say that the Blu-ray version will be region free (since all their releases are), so I have already pre-ordered the Blu-ray disc-set.
