Yes, there is still a ray of hope because Sony recently released 2 of their lesser-known TV series, Bridget Loves Bernie and Ghost Story, on MOD-DVR. Another Sony property, Iron House, was also announced at one time, but I don't know the current status.
I'm wondering if Sony is doing the same release strategy as WA with its TV shows - sending out pressed discs for the first batch. Anyone know this? Is Bridget loves Bernie just DVDrs or will it be pressed? The first shipment should be arriving soon....
