An Important Announcement about the forthcoming Arrow Video Limited Edition Blu-ray release:

Arrow Video have been caught completely off guard by the demand for the limited edition release of Battle Royale on Blu-ray. After a raft of recent successful releases Arrow were confident that their calculations that 5000 numbered copies would be more than sufficient to meet demand. Such has been the flood of pre-orders with many people ordering multiple copies that Arrow Video would like to respond to the people worried that they will not be able to secure a copy by making a strictly once only increase in the number of units available. 10,000 numbered units of Battle Royale on Blu-ray will now be manufactured but that is the final tally. This will hopefully allow all those people who wish to pre-order in the coming weeks a chance to secure a copy and also allow for some stock to reach stores on release day.

Nice! Very very interesting as well because it looks like the Blu pre-orders are bigger than the dvd?

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

None of those links seem to work Almar.

Incredibly for this industry the BD release is far outstripping the DVD. And yes... best check those links!
