I'm thinking that it would cost a lot of money to import and since I already have 2 Door Into Darkness dvd sets (Mya and Dragon) that already use the video tape masters, I'll just stick with those. Mya also has the included Master of Horror documentary on it.

I certainly don't think my take on why I won't be picking this up will sway anyone else but I thought that it could be useful information (I know how disappointed I would have been to discover that the video tape sourced episode was actually the one that was fully directed by Argento). At least purchasers are forewarned.

btw There's slightly less print damage on Mya's dvd but Dragon's limited edition version has a little bit more detail as it's in original PAL and not a PAL to NTSC conversion (to my eyes anyway).
I too have the MYA release of Door into Darkness. The Tram would have been the big draw here but like you say, it's now pointless.
