I think you're right and that steelbook does look a lot nicer. I just can't justify the extra for steelbooks but I'd rather not have L Ron Hubbard's love child on the cover.

Has anyone picked up / going to pick up any of Shriek Show's blus?

Just curious as to the pq, is all.

Are any of them out yet? Buio Omega was supposed to be released this week, but I think it's been delayed.
I have Zombie Hlocaust pre-ordered, but it's another couple of months before that's out.

I know there's a couple of Media Blasters and Tokyo Shock releases, but I haven't seen any of those.

Not sure of the precise date but Criterion Bluray of Videodrome is due this Autumn so thats a definite must buy

If it contains the Unrated Cut (which I think it will), this could be my first CC BD.

I can't recall all the titles but there was more than just Videodrome coming from Criterion .
I don't think any Videodrome dvd's were not the unrated one - even the UK one so we should be ok.

Note that all Criterion Blurays are locked to Region A

Incorrect. The UK DVD of Videodrome was a cut version, for some inexplicable reason. Only the R1 Universal and Criterion releases were of the unrated version. Every other release in the world was of the cut version.

Rewind @ www.dvdcompare.net - Videodrome AKA Zonekiller (1983)

I had the UK Laserdisc of Videodrome which was the unrated version and it seemed a huge jump at the time after the version we had suffered for years with the overzealous cutting by CIC during the video nasties era
The first dvd of it I got was the R1.

I'd always assumed the UK dvd would be the same as the LD- what a backward step

Severin's PSYCHOMANIA will be available in blu too! Reported on Fango yesterday.

Good stuff! Now let's hope they don't region-lock the disc!
