All of which is impressive, but the Blu-ray set we’d really like to see released by Warner is Batman: The Animated Series. In any case, you can see the box art below (and we’ll add the Amazon pre-order links when it goes live).
Also today, Lionsgate has set Grey Lady for DVD only release on 6/27.
Finally, while we’re talking Lionsgate, it’s come to our attention that a few early copies of the studio’s Wishmaster Collection: Vestron Video Collector’s Series Blu-ray (see our review here) included the original Wishmaster with 2.0 audio instead of 5.1. If that’s true of your set, e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for customer service. They’ll send you back a reply explaining how you can get your Wishmaster disc swapped for the correct version with 5.1 audio. Thanks to Bits reader Andrew H. for the heads-up!
Here’s a look at the cover artwork for some of the titles mentioned above, with Amazon.com pre-order links if available. Remember, any time you order literally anything from Amazon after clicking to them through one of our links, you’re helping to support our work here at The Bits and we really do appreciate it...
Stay tuned...
