Says who???

Consider me stoked. Criterion's website says nothing about the release date, but they let it leak it'd be later this year. Either way, I'm in for day one for Cronenberg's masterpiece.

Looking forward to this one, I wish I could say it's a day one purchase but with all the other releases coming out I'll probably have to wait until early next year to get it.

Ite · 09-05-2010, 02:25 AM

One of my all time favorite movies.

I believe they region lock. You'd have to check the individual reviews for their releases to check.

MTRodaba2468 · 09-05-2010, 02:59 AM

I would upgrade this in a heartbeat. And that says something, when you consider that Criterion did a phenomenal job on the standard DVD set...

Leonidas King · 09-05-2010, 05:33 AM

Apologies for not providing a source. Thanks for that rezpekt

Can't wait for this release either!
