Welcome to another shiny new edition of The Digital Wire! Despite that exuberant fanfare, I am sad to announce that this week has been mighty slim in the realm of Blu-ray and DVD release news and the titles we have to report on won’t get much interest as they are all part of tired franchises, but one of the purposes of this feature is to give such titles the space they deserve. Besides, you may be interested in one or more of them.

Below you’ll find info on several future home video releases complete with technical specs, release dates, and links to pre-order at Amazon. 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.

The 2014 summer movie season had it share of ups and downs (slightly more of the former than the latter, in terms of quality anyhow) but even the duds usually get another day in court when they depart the theater screens en route to the more pleasant waters of Blu-ray, DVD, and Video-On-Demand. For this week’s edition of The Digital Wire we’ve got a few new release announcements that should be of great interest to you regardless of where your taste in cinema may reside.

Hey there, Space Cowboys. If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for years for the U.S. release of the anime classic Cowboy Bebop on domestic Blu-ray. Well, the wait is almost over, as Funimation has officially announced that the release date for Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series will be December 16, 2014.

There’s a couple of different versions available for pre-order, including standard Blu-ray and DVD packs, and an Amazon Exclusive Edition pack. You can also pre-order a different special edition directly from Funimation.

Check out the preview below. You can see that the video quality is quite improved over the previous U.S. DVD release.

Welcome back to another sterling edition of The Digital Wire. We had some slim pickings for Blu-ray and DVD release news this week and my enthusiasm was found somewhat lacking. Still though, you might get some enjoyment out of the modest nuggets of info I’ve scrounged up.
