Another The Walking Dead Season 1 Special Edition Makes Me Glad I Haven’t Purchased It Yet

As I mentioned in the title above I am absolutely glad that I haven’t picked Season 1 of The Walking Dead yet. This new latest and greatest Deluxe edition of The Walking Dead looks like it’s going to be exactly what I want when it comes out on October 4th (it should be the 9th in celebration of my Wedding. Or maybe this is being released early so someone has time to buy it for me as a wedding present?)

In all seriousness though just check out the extra features being packed onto this one that weren’t in place before that should make any fan of the show just WANT to snap it up on release day. I know I want to! (Though probably won’t until I’m back from the honeymoon.. you know.. unless someone snags me a copy.)

“The Walking Dead”, AMC’s hit original series that Entertainment Weekly hailed as the “best new show on TV”, gets a new release on Blu-rayâ„¢ and DVD this fall that’s sure to wake the dead!
