Even though it hasn’t yet premiered it seems that Sony (via an early alert to retailers) has the distribution rights and plans to bring the 2012 History Channel 3-part mini-series “Hatfields & McCoys” starring Kevin Coster and Bill Paxton to Blu-ray Disc on July 31st. The first part (of three) of mini-series will premier on the History Channel on May 28th. More info on the mini-series can be found HERE on the official History Channel website. Also, if you think I’m confused about this coming out via Sony I’d like to offer up some proof via History Channel’s online store HERE.
UPDATE: Amazon re-added the PRE-ORDER listing which carries a $39.19 price tag. Tech specs for the release include full 1080p Hi-Def video in the 1.78:1 aspect ratio and DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound spanning across a 2-disc set. The bonus materials set to be included on the release are listed below.
