I take back those insults aimed at Universal yesterday, Heroes season 1 & 2 Blu-ray announced
Need another reason to justify that expensive Blu-ray player? Universal, who I reported yesterday had announced this year’s Blu-ray releases, will be launching both the first and second series of Heroes on August 26th.
