Anyone heard of AoS season 4 on Blu-Ray?
There seems to be one on DVD. Is it a legit set, or is it a bootleg?
Had to order Season 3 on Blu from Amazon UK, but they aren't offering a season 4 yet...

It's way too soon for Season 4 to be available on DVD or Blu Ray. That usually takes anywhere from 6 months to a year.
I think the problem with Season 3 being available in the US is that the second season was sold by Amazon exclusively and the sales were extremely low.
Nothing has been confirmed but I think Marvel and Amazon are fighting over the distribution of season 3. It's literally the only reason I can think of that would explain why season 3 still hasn't been sold here.
If they release a season 4 in the US but not season 3, I will be shocked...and pissed.

I did a little research, and the Season 4 DVD disc set is coming out of China, so it's probably not a legit set. (D'ya think? ;-) )
Still, you can get the set for less than $10 w/free shipping off ebay, so I might just take a chance, just in case S4 never gets released...
And yeah, the reason Season 3 (and Agent Carter S2) hasn't been released here in the US is because of the pissing match between Disney (not specifically Marvel) and Amazon. On the other hand, ordering from Amazon UK is pretty painless if you have a US Amazon account, and the price was pretty reasonable. I have to say, S3 looks pretty nice in full 1080p.

All right, so I ordered a DVD set. For $9.59 (including shipping), I figured what the heck... Yeah, I think it's a fake, but it's a very good fake. They're real, pressed DVD's, not a DVD-R or some other writable disk. It's an honest DD 5.1, 48Khz@384kpbs. Average video bitrate is around 4 Mbps. All the episodes are on 5 discs, un-cut, no commercials, and look very much like the previous season releases. Picture and audio quality is very good, but it's still DVD, so three are some up-scaling artifacts. No mis-spellings on the cover or sub-titles. Every aspect of the box and discs could be a real Disney product. The things that indicate a fake are the publisher ID on the inner ring of the DVD isn't quite right, the sub-titles will cover wording on the screen (like actor credits), the only extra feature is an Entertainment Weekly interview that can be easily found on youtube (Disney would have at least included some outakes), and Ghost rider on the inside cover art is on a motorcycle, unless that's some freakin' clue to Season 5...  If Disney does issue a Blu-Ray set, I'll still buy it, but this is a worthy alternative if season 4 doesn't get released...   |

I only buy Blu Rays now, unless i'm buying something specific and it isn't available on Blu Ray. That's because some of my most cherished DVD's were damaged in my last move and i've found BR's to be nearly indestructible. |

I normally only buy Blu's as well, but for less than $10, I figured I'd order a set just to see what I got. And it was better than expected. |

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
It doesn't look like S4 is going to make it to physical media. Has anyone heard anything different? (I assume that's why the blooper reel was posted directly to the internet by Marvel...)
If any season should have made it to blu, it should have been S4...

I hope S4 does get released on Blu, but it doesn't seem likely. Hope I'm wrong... |

Question:
Would the Freedom of Information Act apply to figuring out what hell is up with any blu rays being released *here*?
It should.
