I think you maybe reading a press release that relates to the USA. July 28th is a tuesday, and blurays/dvds come out on mondays here.

(Having said that, the bbfc passed a bluray menu for Torchwood Children of Earth yesterday, and I'd imagine the UK release will be around the same time.)

Looks like it's going to get released the week following its broadcast then.

well that's going to be fun in the piracy world, considering they pushed the broadcast date. Bravo, BBC for shooting yourselves in the foot.

Now up on Amazon UK, the release date is July 27th.

Quite bizarrely, now (3.28am, 4th June) Amazon have priced the bluray @ £17.59 and the dvd @ £19.09.

Which means they'll already have been pressed and in the distributors' warehouses before transmission in order to be in stores the next week. It's common for DVDs and Blu-rays to be available online (pirated) a fortnight or so before they go on sale, and this year's finale of '24' was online about 13 hours before its actual transmission because of the DVD.
