Blu ray release:

Only fifteen hundred copies on blu? Ouch. Even though it's a nice piece of cover art, the poster doesn't sweeten the price that much, either....

Synapse won't ship outside North America, either, so I have to use a mail redirection mob to send me mine.

$$$$$$$$

this is will be one i'll most definitely check out. i found the copy i own at Half Price Books for $1. That DVD has to be one of the best things i've ever bought for a dollar.

edit: after re-reading this i am waiting for the array of jokes that i've opened myself up to.

What the hell is it with these limited edition blu-ray releases? At least a restoration is mentioned this time.

Just noticed this


Contains the new DVD version of The Definitive Document of the Dead, along with a high-definition Blu-ray of the original 1979 16mm version.

in other words you get a restored dvd version with the original version ON BLU-RAY

Okay Frumpkes, new Document, that's cool, that's cool... But you know it's not what we really want from ya. It's not what we've REALLY been waiting for for twenty-five years, is it Frumpy?

MORE STREET TRASH GODDAMMIT!
