Battle Royale (ArrowDrome) - Official Thread Battle Royale (ArrowDrome) ONE DEAD. 41 TO GO. Battle Royale is back.

Now, see what happens when you let a high school class loose on an island, arm them and then give them a simple choice...

Is this being re-released on Blu-ray on the Arrow Drome Label also? The sticker suggests so, but the RRP seems to suggest not? I've noticed on the Facebook page a few of these have blu-ray tags on the description, which again, suggests they are? I never got around to picking up Battle Royale (SE too big to fit on my Blu-ray shelves, and the LE stupidly over-priced at the time), and am mildly tempted. If it is, what kind of RRP will the blu-rays be looking at?

For me there's only one way to go with this title and that's Arrow's original DVD and BR ltd. ed. sets. Awesome both of 'em!

It's just so that people who see an ArrowDrome title on DVD in a shop know they can get it on Blu-ray instead if they prefer!

Although I own this numerous times, I'm drawn to the artwork and, for reasons which escape me, I'll probably add this to my collection as well! At a guess, I'd say blue is for action but, as the colour came out on top in the poll to choose the sci-fi colour, it may be temporary.

I suppose its vaguely Sci-Fi? It's set a bit in the future isn't it . . . ?
