Good news for Smallville fans who dig that whole "high definition" thing. The fifth season of the series will be released in the HD DVD format on November 28, so if you're willing to shell out a little more cash (it'll cost around eighty bucks), you can enjoy watching young Superman doing whatever it is he does on that show. Sorry, I've never seen a single episode. Not much of a comic book geek am I. But occasionally type like Yoda I do. The DVD will also include the usual extras such as deleted scenes and audio commentary, as well as special HD features. This is part of Warner's new Superman DVD campaign, which also includes HD DVD releases of the Superman movies.Next Smallville DVD in HD

You're really missing out, Adam. While Smallville has bits that cater to DC comic fans, the show is structured to be accessible to non-fans as well.

Ya know, this really is an amazing take on releasing TV shows in HD. My first thought was how great this show would be in HD, especially since it is syndicated and I've never actually seen a current episode in HD (thanks, WB/CW). I've got seasons 1-4 on DVD and even that step up in quality is a terrific improvement. I've been putting off buying a HD player simply because of the current format war. Every time I get the urge, I look at my now dormant Beta VCR & Laserdisc player and stack of tapes or discs. However, I must say that this announcement surprised me - and may actually help push me forward in coming closer to investing in yet another form of media. With the availability of so many quality shows now being released, this seems like a natural progression. Why not take advantage of both the market and the available media?
All I can say is, contrast this announcement with Fox's decision to release How I Met Your Mother in the full frame format when it was originally presented widescreen. Dumb, dumb, dumb. One small step for man, one giant leap BACKWARDS for the studios.
