Some people see '1080i' and automatically think that it's going to look like shit. I can't speak for any of these movies but I've seen some really good 1080i transfers.

In EiV's defence, the transfer isn't actually that bad. 1080i or not, the Saw films (especially the early ones) are hardly stunning showpieces and for what it's worth, the transfer does the job.

For Saw I-III, the french Metropolitan releases are the best available. All 1080p, high bitrate encodes and lossless audio.

SAW I looks amazing, it's very gritty by nature but the transfer still shows tons of detail in the bathroom (dirt on the floor, tiles, mirror, etc) and to me it looks how it should.

Yeah, I was also looking at the French releases. If I'm right, the subtitles are not forced, Simon? Also not in the extras part?

When the price drops for the complete Saw collection I will buy it.
