One thing I do prefer about the unlimited version (and will probably be done with all releases), is that they make the artwork the same size on both panels. Some of the ones in the limited editions I feel, don't look good at all because they're so thin (see below). Come on Arrow, put a border around all of the artwork in the limited editions. You've done it before with some of them. . I know which one looks better to me.

That's a good point and it shouldn't take too much tweaking on the computer to move the artwork a fraction to one side so it is positioned in the centre of the plastic panel.

It's unfortunate that they don't know how to use question marks

It looks ok when it's in the slipcase. I tried the unlimited version in the slipcase. It looks much better. More borders around the original artwork please Arrow.

Thanks for those images – there is a massive difference between the two and, as you say, the borders have a huge effect on how the slipcase looks.

Very true. I just couldn't bring myself to use the old UK vhs artwork for Vamp because it was even thinner than that HBTC poster. A border around it would've helped a lot.

Same here! Superb service. I now have the full HBTC package and, even with the replacement disc issue, it's before the actual release date!

And same here! My disc arrived today and I gave it a quick check. Thanks to all concerned!

Incidentally, this may have come up before so the usual apologies for not getting time to have a look at previous comments;

I take it the trailer reel is just a bit of fun and not indicative of future Arrow releases? There's some great movies on that list!

I'm a bit confused by this. What do the discs look like in the Dual Format edition then? Does the dvd extras disc in the dual format version look different to the extras disc in the limited edition?
