I’ll start this by giving credit to Dan Bradley of TheHDRoom for first reporting this and as a result bringing it to my attention. As we mentioned the other day, FOX unveiled their plans to bring the latest “Family Guy” direct-to-video “Star Wars” parody (“Family Guy: It’s A Trap!“) to Blu-ray Disc on December 21st. You can read more about that HERE in my previous post. One thing I forgot to mention any reaction to from that PRESS RELEASE is that it states the following which I’ve quoted below:
“As an added bonus, “Family Guy: It’s A Trap!” will also be available in Blu-ray and DVD triple-packs featuring all the “Family Guy” Star Wars spoofs…the perfect gift for the holiday season!“
You know what that means?! That means first of, just as the title of the latest film, this article and line from the original films goes, “IT’S A TRAP!” — that is… IF you want to own the first parody, “Family Guy: Blue Harvest” in Hi-Def on Blu-ray Disc to complete the trilogy. Buying that will be the only way you can, regardless if you already own the second spoof and are going to have an extra copy of it as a result. This sucks for folks in that situation and they are going to likely be a bit upset with this choice. There’s no plans yet to release “Blue Harvest” in a stand-alone release this year so they I guess plan to keep it exclusive to that set (3-pack) for the remainder of this year, at least. The 3-pack bundle itself isn’t yet listed on Amazon for pre-order nor do we know the official MSRP of it but stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated. If this upsets you, I invite you to sound off below in the form of comments you “Family Guy” fans and let FOX know how you feel about this marketing decision!
