The new look, new name DVD & Blu-ray Review issue 116 is now on sale!
The definitive DVD bible since 1999 – when DVD was the bright, shining format of the future – we’ve taken the not-easy decision to modify our name to keep us synonymous with what we’ve always been about: the cutting edge of evolution and innovation in home entertainment and giving you the information and opinion you depend on to make those all-important disc and hardware choices.
We’ve taken a long, hard look at the magazine – at what we do brilliantly and what we could improve on – and have produced a magazine that is truly aligned with where home cinema is now, and will be in the future. We’ve not forgotten our bread and butter: DVD remains the dominant format in the market-place and remains central to DVD & Blu-ray Review’s ethos.
But as more and more people take advantage of the high-definition experience of Blu-ray, we’re here to provide indispensable advice to those looking to make step to hi-def as well as the biggest and best DVD and Blu-ray reviews guide to which movies, TV shows and music to buy on which format.
Starting with issue 116, DVD & Blu-ray Review brings you the very latest disc release, format and tech news, in-depth, behind-the-scenes features and more disc reviews than ever before by our team of expert reviewers.
Here’s a sneak peak of what to expect in issue 116:
