Blu-ray Release Lists are Sadly, on Hold

[TRainH2O]

I hate to post this as I have posted new Blu-ray Release Lists, literally, for years. However, my source for weekly releases has changed their format. The old format was mostly text-based and it was really easy for me to create my weekly posts. The new format has switched to a thumbnail page with links to each individual release.

So what does this mean, you ask? If this week's release list had 30 titles, I would have to click on each thumbnail, navigate to each new page, copy the info, and then post that into the new list for that week. It's very time-consuming and I have been busy at work lately.

There has to be a better way and I am looking. However, if anyone knows of a text-based list for new releases, please let me know. Until then, please bear with me.

Tracy, which site were you using?

Tracy, which site were you using?

High-Def Digest. I usually post on Sundays but I noticed that they have completely changed their format since last week.

I hope you have or can suggest a source as you are still an insider. I think my AV contacts have dried up since my days at HTE, but I never knew anyone from the studios.

Tracy, I'm not sure if or how much this helps but if I go to blu-ray.com's release page and select the titles for a date (by clicking and dragging) even though they are thumbnails too, I can copy & paste to a text editor. It's not a super clean list but it's at least text and can be done. In a few minutes I was able to do a quick & dirty list which wasn't alphabetized, then threw it into Excel to sort and copied & pasted below:
