If the transfer's notably better than Soul Media's disc (and even free of PAL speed-up), it could still be worth a look.

Although I'll probably wait for the German release too.

Afraid, for me, a slightly inferior transfer is preferable to it being cut. So Anchor Bay won't be getting a penny from me.

That's fair enough. I never got round to importing the full unrated DVD, so I'm quite excited about Koch's upcoming release.

And apparently, the workprint included on the Kock set will be better quality than we've seen before. Couldn't be any worse mind you!

The Great Escape BD steelbook. What a wasted opportunity. Crappy artwork. Should've used the poster.

It's worse than the image you posted last week. The poster is iconic, so why not choose an image everyone knows and loves?

Actually, looking at it again, the green looks even worse; the whole thing should be in black and white.

That's what I just said on Facebook. I wasn't impressed with the normal BD art, but I'll take it over the steelbook.
