Arrow Video - Unlimited

[Rassilon]

I buy them for the films. They do look nice. Inferno, COTLD etc on my shelf. But I wouldn't pay for a film I dislike (silent night deadly night or deadly outlaw rekkas). I only buy what is good. The packaging is awesome though.

I still hope demons gets some fancy treatment.

I'm not sure I understand the reaction to this - the 4 panel artwork editions will still be released first so there's every chance to pick them up. Since the release of Arrowdrome Arrow still release dvd-only Arrow Video releases (The Deadly Spawn, Deadly Blessing) so there's no reason to assume they'll stop releaseing the 4-panel editions

The traditional releases will be limited from now on. So you have to buy them when they're released, or you risk being stuck with the vanilla edition later on. That's the whole problem.

The existing releases will be replaced by the Unlimited Editions once they have sold out:

...

Future Unlimited Editions will be scheduled to appear shortly before Limited Editions sell out so there is not a gap in availability of any release.

I don't mind the Unlimited Editions co-existing alongside the originals, but I hate the idea that they'll be replacing them.

I wonder how limited?

Please Arrow, use a new piece of artwork for these releases (like the Arrowdrome collection).

I want to see the sparks fly on here.

The Arrowdrome covers are much better than the Arrow Vid ones.

That's exactly what they're doing...

Look here for a (very small) pic of Caligula's new release:

Tastes differ.

I wouldn't call 2 paneled artwork and all the same extras vanilla!

Even with 2 panels instead of four and losing some of the internal paper goodies, you're still getting a premium package: how many other companies can even compete with that?

Take a look at what you get from most other distributors: the film and some flimsy photo-shopped art put together in ten minutes by some bored graphic design graduate.

I think it's a slight case of people (and don't think I'm targeting this at you, Prince! ) taking what they've been accustomed to for granted.

I am sad to see the four paneled slip-covered editions take on a limited life, but Arrow have to make money, and I'm betting the added costs for windowed slipcovers, quad art sleeves, posters, lobbycards, booklets etc. don't leave them with a lot of selling margin to play with and therefore invest in new films, extras, better quality control etc.
