I already own the stunning British BR equivalent and this imminent upgraded DVD version will further bolster my SD selection of titles.

Sorry, I must be a little slow this morning; What revamped Dawn DVD? I've just ordered the Arrow Blu-Ray (from Arrow, I have to say) so I'm just curious.

Arrow are releasing the Dawn of the Dead Blu-ray as a DVD alternative. I think that's right anyway

This forthcoming Dawn DVD is just the BR release ported over to the SD format with presumably the same three cuts of the film and the same extras.

The same thing is happening to Arrow's Day Of The Dead.

Cool! My BR came through yesterday. Lovely package!

I like to own both DVD and BR releases of my fave films despite this decision costing me an arm and a leg. But that's just me all over. I just can't help it!

I can't criticise after buying the Blu-Ray and already owning the R1 Ultimate DVD package.

I also own a myriad of ABUS Dawn DVDs encompassing the above ultimate edition set, the earlier anniversary release and single issue versions of the theatrical and Argento cuts.

On the U.K. front i've got the old BMG extended edit Dawn DVD and Arrow's current and still decent DVD variant.

Then there's the Italian 5-disc box set and of course both British and American BR equivalents.

Lastly, i still possess Elite's standard edition LD.

I gave my old Intervision pre-cert Dawn tapes away some time ago.

I'm unusually lost for words

I also used to have the very first ABUS Dawn DVD which was a flipper release and the Italian Argento cut single disc version. I believe i once owned a Dutch double DVD set too. However, once superior editions came along i gave the aforementioned counterparts away. They were obsolete and no real point in keeping them.

I still have the Dawn Monroeville Mall 'Muzak' CD issued a few years back though and it's still sealed!
