I read somewhere that when the FW update is available they will send you a new disc for the charge of £10 if you've upgraded from them already in the past, which seems pretty fair to honest.

Another option is to buy a cheap Region A machine and run two Blu-ray players alongside one another.

Just checked and that's correct.:nod:

And you think the Irish logo is bad......:lol:

That's what I did. Best decision I ever made and I saved over a hundred quid.

Criterion, Scream Factory and numerous other region 1/A only titles.

I don't mind the hellraiser set but the others are lost on me? Reformed school girls? Five Dolls? i like the classic cheese movies like 'The Burning' and so on.

Guess which idiot is considering buying the Hellraiser set, despite having the Scarlet Box....

Definitely gonna get Five Dolls :nod:

Edit: and Audition!!

5 Dolls, Audition & Reform School Girls for me.

I think people will be disappointed if they aren't releasing the Hellraiser's separately, there doesn't seem to be much love for Hell on Earth, I've even seen people slagging off Hellbound this past couple of weeks :dirtyharry:

Love Audition, I'm not a huge fan of Asian cinema (sorry Bruno), but I love this and Ichi the Killer :nod:

I can see them getting individual releases further down the line. I expect that these new restorations and extras cost Arrow a lot of coin so they will want to milk them for all they're worth (a la Battle Royale). I wouldn't be surprised if they released them as steelbooks eventually too.

Probably Zavvi exclusives :pound:

I'm bored of steelbooks now, they've lost their limited appeal, but I wish Arrow would release HBTC as a steelie to complete the set :pray:

The Arrow Films / Video Thread
 

I too will be getting the Hellraiser set. 😂

...which will hopefully arrive intact this time!

Koyaanisqatsi & Powaqqatsi are fantastic films, i can highly recommend both.

Watched these three again after a gap of 10yrs+, and whilst I think HoE isn't a bad film, I find it so inferior compared to the first two, which I consider gothic masterpieces.

Makes me wonder now whether I'd find Bloodlines as good as I remember it...

I want them covers - but I ain't buying it again ;)

Five Dolls and Audition for me (both blind buys)

Doesn't really bother me. I appreciate their honesty. If they can't get the UK rights then I say good on them and hope they're successful with US sales.

Can anyone recommend a multi region home theatre player? I'm thinking of upgrading, but I've got too used to my Dolby now!

Really looking forward to FIVE DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON.
Anyone else think AUDITION is over-rated ? :peep:

Ditto. I already have the Hellraiser and Koyaanisqatsi/Powaqqatsi boxsets.

Reform School Girls is really good fun. I'd definitely buy it if i didn't already own it on dvd.

Surprised there are no extras. The disc i have has a commentary. Maybe they just haven't announced them yet.

You know, it's weird, but I won't be too bothered about the box this time. It's all about the cases inside. [emoji23]

Yes!
I didn't really want to get the boxed set so I'm happy about this one :D
Audition is decent too, and I'll be getting the Bava!

Me!

I wish they would have done a Blu steelbook for the original Dark Water (2002), now that is an underrated one which truly deserves a new UK release. More than happy with another Bava though, especially one I haven't seen before, even if I have heard it is one of his weaker examples. Hope they also release Kill, Baby, Kill at some point next year.

Anyone else think that a Kill, Baby, Kill steelbook with the artwork below would be amazing?

TPS do the disc for some Panasonic models for £80:

£80.00 - Panasonic All Zone Multi Region Code Free Blu-ray Home Cinema Firmware Upgrade - MultiRegion - Panasonic - TPS - The Perfect Signal Ltd

I have started a Multiregion thread here so as to keep all the info in one place:

NO!!!!


:lol:

five dolls, audition and reform school girls for me also.
Glad I bought the tissues in bulk, reform school girls shall be watched a lot. :drool:

We hear ya! ;)

I'm really confused about those Audition releases.

It says on the announcement, that the steelbook has 2 discs and the standard release has 1. However on the store website it says both have 2 discs (BD+DVD). :confused:

Also is the booklet really only on the steelbook release? What kind of sense does that make?

I wouldn't have a problem otherwise, but that new artwork is absolutely atrocious... so I'd rather have the amaray release with reversible art. But can't do that if I'm missing on some extras.

Edit: Seems someone already asked about the booklet on FB. It is only included in the steelbook. -_-

Both packages contain the same BD, but only the steelbook contains a DVD and booklet.

Thank you for the clarification Michael.

I'd be happy with the Amaray cos the steelbook is hardly a looker but i don't want to miss out in the booklet.

Why? What about those who, like me, have seen the novelty of Steelbook packaging wear off and would rather buy the Amaray given the choice? I don't want to be "strong-armed" into buying something I don't want in order to have the booklet.
