Standard/cheaper edition is inevitable.

personally, I was absolutely ok with dropping $56 on the 4K UHD of an old fave of mine, but more power to those who can't.

I'm just not interested in spending an extra $30 on a cd and extra cardboard.

This, and you won't be one of the inevitable "when's the standard version coming out?!?" posts 1-2 years from now.

I ordered it last night but PayPal bungled my Pay-In-4 option and charged me the full $56 (incl. shipping), which stings a bit. Don’t know why they did that—at no point in my ordering process did I select anything other than “Pay In 4”. I’ve raised the issue with PayPal; we’ll see what happens.

Ordered July 1 still awaiting for it to ship.

Just got a tracking number & shipping notification for my Synapse direct order!

Same!

Thanks for replying. Too bad, as the full version of LSD:INSIGHT OR INSANITY is even better. See here for the full 29-minute version:
https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/cata...-101557358-vid

But, that version is horribly encoded at only around 1 mbit/sec. All other copies online appear to be of the truncated 17-minute version. There was a release of "scare" films called "The Scare Films Archives, vol 1" on Blu-ray a couple of years back which includes the chopped up 17-minute version at a high bitrate (about 30 mbps) and 1080p:

Camera Obscura Mono vs Synapse Mono

Synapse's track is actually 16-bit

MifuneFan · 01-22-2025, 06:03 PM

Synapse will be releasing this widely on April 15th. I thought it would just be a Standard Edition but the listing still shows it as a Limited Edition with rigid case and CD soundtrack included.

Where are you seeing it, Amazon, etc?

MVD had done a wider release for a couple of Synapse's, I assume, slower selling steelbooks/limited editions. Guess this one isn't moving that fast.

Nice. I really didn't want to have to order this direct from Synapse. I love the work they do, but absolutely hate their limited edition model.

Matt89 · 01-22-2025, 08:41 PM

It's because they make these limited editions so bloody expensive that they take literally years to sell out.

UnionJackMix · 01-25-2025, 07:42 AM

Sorry it's not clear to me what the different versions by Synapse have. There is a news listing today on this site about a standard edition but still mentions a poster and the special packaging. Is it just a wrong spec description or otherwise, what is different between the LE and the SE?
On Synapse's own site there is no mention of a poster even though it's clearly the LE.
I googled and found this: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...crawler/media/ which indicates it's the Limited Edition and still available even on Diabolik, and Synapse's own site.
Can someone provide some details please?

Trekkie313 · 01-25-2025, 06:56 PM

$60 for a "standard" release, has to be a mix-up somewhere since it's listing pretty much the same contents as the LE.

47.99 on MoviesUnlimited, and near the end of February they'll have a 20% off coupon. 38.39 after.
