According to a site that shows current and future Amazon items, it shows that Firefly, SG-1 Season 1, and Atlantis Season 1 will be released on Blu-ray in the foreseeable future. I only have HD-DVD at the moment, but if they release these I will of course purchase a blu-ray player!! Attached file is a jpg photo of the site since I found nowhere else on-line mentioning these releases yet.

None of them listed appear anywhere but Amazon and I can't find any source that suggests they are being done.

It's like taking preorders for an item that's not dated, instead they are creating pages for items that aren't confirmed. While I do expect shows like SGA, SG1 and potentially Firefly if they can make the conversion look well (as the sets wer never designed nor built for HD) but apparently Star Wars TV and Clone Wars 3D are taking up a lot of Lucas' time so even Star Wars Blu-Ray is a bit of a stretch.
Best to just email MGM.

Star Wars is confirmed? I know Star Wars 1-6 were supposed to get some weird 3D version but I thought they were cancelled. As with Firefly, just because it's aired on TV in HD doesn't mean it will get a HD release. There are few channels here that air everything in HD but doesn't mean it will happen.
I don't find it hard to believe, I just don't accept it without something more than Amazon. Normally when something is going to be released, you'll get multiple sites out looking to give people more motivation to use them than someone else. I'm personally most definitely looking forward to an Atlantis Blu-Ray release but it will take more than an unproven sales page by Amazon to make me trust it.

Edit: Damn. I just bought Firefly in September. But I'd buy it again if I see it in Blu-ray.

One more question- I thought that productions originally made for TV didn't necessarily get better resolution on Blu-ray, but movie-quality productions do. Is that true?

Originally posted by from_orion View PostActually Star Wars blu-ray episodes 1-6 have been confirmed. Firefly, since it's on Universal HD, will be very easy to put on blu-ray. Showtime-era SG-1 is in the correct aspect ratio and shot on film which is easily 1920x1080 hi-def worthy. The release of these on blu-ray is inevitable, I don't see why you find it so hard to believe.
