Does for me. I will never preorder again. Funhouse and Obsession won't be in my case afterall either.=(

The blu-ray.com review for Obsession lists the extras in 1080p. Don't know for sure if that's accurate, though.

Thanks! I'd love to get that and Funhouse. ..But I won't make the same mistake twice. I'll wait until someone can confirm extras are 1080p/24p. I try to buy most arrow blus, I love Ricks art and the art options. The extras are the reason I love arrow. What sucks about this is I have a pal to ntsc dvd converter.. But the 50htz extras are on a BR disc! =(

Arrow have looked into this and it basically came down to an unfortunate kink in the system which meant the extras slipped through unconverted. Arrow have remedied the problem now though so all future releases will be 1080/24p.

No, It´s in print, but it´s a Fnac exclusive.

Ténèbres - Blu-Ray - Dario Argento - Anthony Franciosa - Daria Nicolodi : tous les DVD Ã* la Fnac

You also have the item from sellers on the French Amazon.

Darker scenes are much better looking overall. It is really strange that this phenomenon has only really affected a few of the Italian Arrow releases. Just look at titles like Vamp, The Funhouse and Obsession, which all look amazing on blu-ray.
Yeah it's definitely not grain, and it's not Arrow's fault either (it's present on Blue Underground releases too) - it's the Italian company responsible for creating these HD masters - there's a problem occurring in the process and it's ruining all of these Italian films unfortunately. Such a shame.
