K-ON! UK DVD and BD Release in 2012

[afoia]

according to mangauk's tweets:

We have not listed them yet but in the UK #KON! Season 1 will be released on DVD first across 4 volumes every 8 weeks starting late August.

#KON! Season 1 complete collection Blu-ray will be released as 2-disc set in March. Price TBC. Delay caused by US holdback and difference in

and for the blu ray release...

...Blu-ray release strategy. US is releasing 4 Blu-ray volumes. We prefer entire series collection. Safer bet for our market.

Dammit manga, I almost went for the US Single BD releases, now i'm pushed into waiting a year for the full BD boxset

Good! That's what we want, a BD boxset instead of volumes.

There might be a huge delay, but they pass the savings on to me, the consumer!

I've not seen much of K-ON! but mio has one sweet ass bass guitar and i might bet the first dvd to see if i like it then get the BD next year

They're releasing over a differnt number of disks, so new masters anyway.

What's wrong with the US release?

The lossy stereo sound has been criticised and a song has been replaced.

What's wrong with the US release?

Lossy audio When even the Japanese DVDs get LPCM.
Altered song.
No extras.

One to buy but not interested in volume releases anymore, will have to hang on for the blu ray release in a years time
