Meanwhile, I mentioned that GKids will release another Ghibli title, The Tale of Princess Kaguya, on Blu-ray Disc in February or March. Street date is still TBA, but you can see the cover art (with Amazon pre-order link) below.
Speaking of Amazon, if any of you have been waiting to pick up CBS’ amazing Star Trek: The Next Generation seasons on Blu-ray, now is absolutely the time to do so. Amazon is having a crazy Black Friday Week sale on all the previous seasons for just $31.99 each. Season One is just $19.99. This is Blu-ray we’re talking here! That’s at least 75% off the regular retail price, so seriously don’t wait to take advantage. You’d be hard pressed to ever get them for lower than this. Cover links are below.
