The DVD will be available for the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $59.99, while the Blu-ray will run at the MSRP of $79.98.

You can preorder both at Amazon for a much more favorable price.

Fans are anxiously awaiting the release of the True Blood season 2 DVD and Blu-Ray, no release date has been announced yet. But at least we now know what the outside of the box looks like.
The Blu-ray’s box, which has a corner banner describing the 5-disc set as having “True Blood Enhanced Viewing” on all 12 episodes exclusively on this version, while presenting them in 1080p “Full HD Video” and DTS-HD Master Audio. “Exclusive New Blu-ray Features” are also mentioned.

The True Blood season finale was watched by 5.114 million viewers.

The amazing first season DVD success for True Blood continues. In its 16th week of release it added on another 62,123 units – a 12% increase from week 15, along with another $2.2 million in sales. Its sixteen week totals are 1.49 million units with estimated revenue of almost $52 million.

The second season of True Blood is available for pre-order on Amazon.

The amazing story of HBO’s True Blood just doesn’t stop. From DVD’s that topped the weekly sales to setting new series high in viewers every week, this week up to 5.332 million — it’s an impressive tale.

Last week True Blood scored 4.46 million so the week over week growth is almost 20 percent (19.55 percent).

True Blood was the #3 show on cable for the week.  And when you consider that HBO is only in about 1/3rd of the homes most basic cable networks have access to, that’s impressive.  Will it get to Sopranos style impressive? It’s certainly trending in that direction.  The  Sopranos was often the #1 show on all of cable, despite being available in relative few homes.

And, the amazing story of success for the first season of True Blood on DVD continues.  For the week ending August 16, 2009,  True Blood was the top selling TV show DVD.  It was a slow week without many new releases, but still, True Blood raked in an additional $1.59 million and is approaching $46 million in sales.

On a revenue basis True Blood is the 11th best selling DVD of the season.  The only other TV show in the top 50 is 24, which is now #50 (and falling, and the list we see ends at 50, so…) with $18.184 million in sales.

The second season premiered just this past Sunday, to raving words of praise from delighted fans! And Amazon.com certainly hasn’t wasted any time: they have already begun taking pre-orders for True Blood – The Complete 2nd Season on both DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc. Yes, that was fast.

It’s no surprise, this soon after the start of the new season (only 3 days!), that these listings are prior to HBO’s official announcement for the titles. So instead of a street date, Amazon only says “This title has not yet been released. You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives.”

There are no other details available so far, however, nor cover art for either version (just temp art from the promo campaign).
