Great package overall. Might have to be a double dipper. Thats if I can actually get hold of a copy. Seems weird to slyly trash the arrow releases when Uk fans won't actually get to buy the finished product..

Don suggested trying Diabolikdvd, as they hot copies of the limited edition Document Of The Dead blu-ray for overseas customers. So there's light at the end of the tunnel!

You see, making these releases available to UK sellers adds a little competition to the mix, makes sure everyone goes all out with their releases.

I wonder if they will be able to eliminate that shaking in demons 2? Would be interesting to see if its another case of the italian labs screwing over arrow.

It could well be. Almost certainly Synapse read reviews and looked at people's concerns. And Don is famous for his 100% hands on approach with his releases. He QC's everything himself, so I have no doubt they'll look and sound the best they can.
