The Simpsons: The Complete Thirteenth Season has been released on DVD and Blu-Ray today in the United States and Canada.
You can pick up the box pictured on the left on DVD at Amazon for $31.99 or on Blu-Ray for $39.99. Those of you who prefer the limited edition head boxes will have to settle for the DVD version as it is not available on Blu-Ray. That version is selling on Amazon for $32.49.
The set features all 22 episodes from the thirteenth season of the show with commentaries on each of the episodes, including guest commentators Stan Lee, Joe Mantegna, Delroy Lindo, Robert Pinsky and others. Deleted scenes are included, as well as numerous featurettes, animation showcases, galleries, and commercials.
For those of you not lucky enough to get a copy today because you don’t live in North America, the set is available in the UK on September 13 and in Australia on September 29th. Post your thoughts on the set below!
cool! i live in the uk meaning i’ll have to wait a while for the release but i know it will be worth it but yesterday i went in hmv and they had a list of releases for the next few weeks and it said that the thirteenth season won’t be released in the uk until september 20th! it’s obviously a mistake as other websites and stores say it will be released on the 13th! oh well it still looks like a pretty neat set and i’ll probably pick up a copy of the head too!!
This could be true!
just got it!
Tyler How Is It? Who’s on the Commentaries?
I pickd it up yesterday and started watching it. The little animation that plays in the episode selection screen (at least on blu-ray) is EPIC! I t is super clever. You need to sit through and watch all the cast members take there turn because ralph is hilarious. Other than that, 2 big solid thumbs up. The quality looks to be maybe better than DVD quality so there maybe some better transferring or just simple upscaling at play. All in all, great and buy and a really solid season.
Who’s on the Commentaries?
I can’t wait until this is released in the UK. As always, I will be getting this on day 1.
I picked this up the day it was released at Best Buy, and, strangely, there weren’t any on the shelves or out on a display. Thankfully they had mine ready since I pre-ordered it. Oh well.
I somehow missed out on seeing a lot of episodes from this season, and so far I’ve been really impressed with most of them (on the first two discs I’ve watched). They’re much funnier than I expected or remember episodes being following the golden era. One of my favorites so far is “Sweets and Sour Marge.”
Australia has to wait until December 1st for it now :/
I have all the seasons that have been released and surprisingly 13 is my favorite one so far. Ive liked every episode ive seen on the 3 discs ive watched, except for “The lastest gun in the west” that one was boring to me. Also the extra feature that shows all the simpsons video games was fun to watch for the nostalgia.
Oh and the box art is great but the packaging itself is crap unfortunately.
