I'm not a pessimistic person whatsoever but I too am a little disappointed in no Blu-ray release. Only selfishly though (as I'm only collecting the Arrow and Shameless BD releases) and this is one film that I've been wwanting to see for many years now and have always held off knowing a BD release would be inevitable. I wouldn't import the current BD from Italy though as I want to watch it first before buying whereas when it comes to Arrow and Shameless I buy first then watch

Insurance isn't necessarily paying out too. Insurance companies take forever to pay out at the best of times and I don't know how/if this has affected Shameless but many insurers are refusing to pay out over the riots saying compensation should come from the police instead, claiming that they let the riots get out of hand therefore it's their job to pay out (it was on BBC News a few weeks back). Plus, while they may have been refunded for the lost stock, they have still gone for weeks with virtually no stock in stores since Sony have to get back on their feet and reproduce everyone's (as in Shameless and all those other affected companies) destroyed stock and deliver it to retailers. Since a lot of people have been posting that they can't find various Shameless titles, we know that this is still ongoing. This means that for several weeks, sales have been down significantly. I know you're not having a go and I appreciate your frustration but imagine how the guys at Shameless feel? You don't get a Blu-ray but this is their livelihood and it's simply not as black and white as people are trying to make out.

I'd love to see Stage Fright get a Blu release. It's one of my most anticipated titles for HD, plus that cover of yours is excellent, SJ. |

Surely it would be worthwhile for SL to invest in Blu...I see the majority of folks only buying this sort of title on DVD if there was no other choice or it was substantially worth it. I feel a shudder of disappointment when there are new announcements but no Blu! Why don't you do a Blu/DVD combo? Everyone seems to be doing that!

I'm in the Blu-Ray camp here too I'm afraid. I sold my ABUS DVD purely with the intent to go to BD when the Italian one came out. I don't intend on buying another DVD of it and it would have been much nicer to give my money to Shameless. Don't worry, I fully understand it's a risk on Shameless' part. It's just a shame it has to be that way. I could see this doing well on BD as it's still easier and cheaper for other countries in general to import from the UK than Italy. |

I'm starting to get the distinct impression that several people posting on here would rather see Shameless go under than do without a Blu-ray...

DVDs are 2nd class, Blus kick ass. Simple as that. Spending cash on a blu surely will be worth it? Spending cash on a DVD that is in the majority of collections is just daft IMO. SL kick ass and I do appreciate their work!

sure, most blu rays will give an excellent picture quality compared to standard dvd, but I buy certain blu rays e.g. my fave film SCARFACE, and ALEN ANTHOLOGY but overall I am still buying mostly dvds, after all its not worth buying some blu rays, when the pq is not much different to dvd sometimes its a case of companies being crafty such as THE HEARTBREAK KID and INGLORIOUS BASTERDS the former is uncut, and the latter has more extras unlike the dvd equivalents each to their own |

As Shameless are still a fairly new (and small-scale) company, I think testing the water with cheaper-to-make DVD versions are good way of establishing a market demand for certain titles (i.e. good sales of NYR = later special edition DVD & BD release), but as it has been stated on here (to my surprise) many times, that over-the-counter retail sales of Shameless' titles still make up the biggest proportion of their total sales. This implies that the majority of customers don't/seldom shop online, and therefore probably won't have imported a copy of this title from overseas. |
