The last week before Christmas is bound to be a slow one on the home video new release front. The big titles of the year are mostly available to buy for the holidays. Now, we’re just counting down the days until a new year begins and the clock is reset. But never fear, regular readers of this column (yes, both of you), for I have scrounged together a few stories of interest for this next-to-last edition of The Digital Wire for 2014.

Below you’ll find info on several future home video releases complete with technical specs, release dates, and links to pre-order at Amazon, as well as a few titles releasing this week. We would greatly appreciate it if you use those links to order because a small percentage of each order helps keep this website running at max power. The cover art for certain titles has yet to be finalized.

So, I stand corrected; I told you all that the Ghost B.C. parody song “Hail Santa” was the best X-mas parody of the year. I was wrong!

I just stumbled across this amazing video by Sock Puppet Parody called “Immortal Christmas.” This one really had me busting up. The video is a funny take on the infamous Norwegian black metal band Immortal and their frost-bound homages to the dark lord. Once again, the praises of Satan are replaced by ones for Santa and hilarity ensues. I have to think that Immortal frontman Abbath would approve of this, as he seems to have a very tongue-in-cheek sense of humor about his band and their schtick. Anyway, check it out for yourself here below and let us know what you think.

Last month, the first teaser, which centered on Arya Stark, was released. The second teaser deals with Sansa Stark, while the third and newest video switches gears to the Dornish, as we see The Red Viper and his paramour.

Christmas is mere days away and there’s a good chance you’re still searching for some last-minute gifts. If you want to avoid the craziness of the Mall, you can still shop online and sneak in some Christmas Eve deliveries and/or have some digital gifts to have ready for Christmas Day.

There’s still time for you to order gifts through Amazon and have them physically arrive by Christmas Eve (see details below). There’s also plenty of digital gifts to give: You can also gift ebooks, MP3 music, apps, digital comics, and video game downloads; send a gift card electronically; or make a charitable donation in the recipient’s name. Either email the recipient their gift, or print up an e-card and hand it to them. Take a look at our various Gift Guides for inspiration.
