Hi guys,
Not easy to release Four Flicks in Blu Ray.
Blu Ray is an exchange media for HDTV programs. HDTV programs can be originated from 35mm film, sometimes 16mm film ( lower HD quality ) or HDTV recording.
All the old material up to The Max was shoot on film, easy to release on Blu Ray.
The Biggest Bang shot on HDTV, easy to be released in Blu Ray.
However if Four Flicks was shot on SDTV 4/3, no chance to ever be released in Blu Ray in decent quality. Simply a technical issue.
Cheers

He is 100% correct. a 4:3 ratio (can't change that) and video-taped instead of filmed (can't change that either) make a blu-ray release unecessary

Not really. One of the main advantages of a Blu Ray release would be the uncompressed/lossless audio.

I wonder if Blu-Ray will go the way of the Do-Do before it gets a chance to be released?

Isn't true Bigger Bangs Blu-Ray is not the complete set of shows? If that's the case, 4Flicks on Blu-Ray is a waste.

That's the most interesting feature of blu-ray for music videos IMO.
Some Girls in Texas sounds better on blu-ray. Audio on DVD is not so good (low bitrate).

I agree with the above, having recently purchased "lets Spend The night together" on Bluray from Japan, sound is better than the DVD - but the quality of the picture is not

Glad I chipped in. I withdraw the previous remark. The blurry has 1080p def AND 480i def depending on your screen 16:9 or 4:3 playback. Thanks for the heads up, its a great pic!
