Absolutely ridiculous if they don't release a blu-ray version.

Not being rude , but why?
No one I know even has a Blu-ray player. And as someone mentioned already DVD sales volume may pretty small by itself.

Blu-Ray has been the premium standard for about 4-5 years. Plenty of people i know have blu-ray players by now as the cost of the players have dropped significantly to under $200 (Also alot of people would have a Playstation 3 around which doubles up as a blu-ray player).

Sport (especially AFL) is best viewed in Full High Definition which is what channel 10 have been providing when they had the rights. All if not most of us have a capable 1080P high definition tv by now and the @@@@ty 576P standard the DVD provides us (and i'm not including the lame upscale DVD players do) does not cut it in 2012.

Geelong had their 2011 grand final filmed in High Def and had a victory pack released in blu http://compare.ebay.com.au/like/3307...PriceItemTypes so i dare say i would expect to get the same treatment a year later. It's just ridiculous that Channel 7 due to ratings decided not to show the Grand Final on Seven Mate (their high definition channel)

Sorry, Jeffers, but the Victory pack was not released on Blu-ray. As I mentioned in my previous post, only the GF was released on Blu-ray. The pack in your link is a special edition with 3 discs: 1 Blu-ray with the GF and 2 DVD's with season highlights and a documentary. See the link below:

Until I see some specific info about the Blu-ray release, I'm not pre-ordering anything.

Yup, you're right. Even so, a Blu-Ray version of the grand final will be sufficient enough for me.

Disk format is dead - they should just have it as a download instead! C'mon Telstra, pull your finger out and have some HD download available!

[chunksngravy]

God I hope they release all the finals in the box set like 2005-season highlights are all very good but the finals series in a dinky little red box becomes a family heirloom! My 2005 box will be the first thing rescued when the house is alight/bombs drop/floods come etc, long before the wife and kids and just before the signed WEG/Knight premiership posters. Maybe we should start a petition.

It wasn't captured in HD and will only be upscaled according to SportDelivered tweet:

Go $%^! yourself Ch7

[Zlatorog]

Yep, that's what I was afraid of. No wonder I hate Ch7 and their CEO.

So with the Ch7 issues am I better getting the DVD or Blue Ray. I don't mind paying the extra for the Blue Ray if I'm getting a better picture.
