Christ I think the last time they did reversible art was The Changeling or When a Stranger Calls!

The second sight sets are terrific.Only the artwork lets them down.

Anyone agree?

I'm just pleased there's a company NOT releasing Asian cinema every five minutes.

All Second Sight standard editions are currently reduced to £9.99 in HMV and are being price matched Amazon, while that doesn't seem much, that's a discount of at least £4 and some titles are reduced by £10.

I'd encourage folk to take advantage of this as its as about as good as an SS promotion gets.

Have any of you got Asylum?

It seems to have a very mixed set of thoughts on the transfer from people.

[Justin101]

I was considering both Asylum and The House That Dripped Blood, but I hadn't looked into the transfers.

If it's just people on Blu-Ray.com who have moaned about it I would take it with a pinch of salt because they often see things that normal people wouldn't notice... or care about.
