Mr. SexyBack is headed back to high-def in the Best Buy exclusive Blu-ray release of his HBO concert, 'Justin Timberlake: Live at Madison Square Garden.'

Tech specs for the Blu-ray boast 1080p video (1.78:1) and uncompressed PCM audio in both 5.1 and 2.0 configurations.

Retail for the Blu-ray is $34.98.
