Posted Friday, August 17, 2007 at 8:22 pm by Jason Cartwright
If your like me and most of my friends, we are big fans of Heroes the TV series. You may be in the market to have the entire 1st season in High Definition- on HD-DVD. I’m really considering it, great show, not sure how many actual discs it contains, but this is the first web enabled HD DVD title available from Universal Studios and has bonus content available only on HD DVD.
