Its even worse with the flimsy new "eco" cases with holes in them, making interior artwork impossible as it would look like crap.
Criterion & Masters of Cinema are the exceptions, always providing a great package. But they won't really come too close to the films provided by Arrow!
Martin is my third disc from Arrow, my second DVD. I have almost stopped buying DVDs, but if I can justify buying the DVD because an HD release isn't likely to be close, I have found I can still be persuaded by DVD if the set has a lot to offer.
I've enjoyed greatly the Macabre and Martin physical packages, and it makes me want to collect more of them. Something that's fun to own is the best way to fight downloads and copying. More power to you!
