If I get them I want them to be the 1st editions because the slip covers on both look lovely, but too expensive...

Although I haven't watched either all the way through yet, I have sampled them and they both look and sound very impressive.

I wouldn't like to give a definitive answer without watching the films from beginning to end but, if you want a snap judgement based on a small sample, I would advice a purchase.

I hope they get Rats back in stock before the next ice age begins.

“It's taken a long time but it's now official, HMV will be restocking 88 Films release and also taking new releases as well.
We hope you continue to support both us and them, the last record / video chain left on the UK high street!”

Good news for those that would rather buy everything 88 Films release in a shop instead of online

I'm not getting excited until I see the price point

I can't believe that HMV disabled the e-commerce part of their website. They must be losing out on a huge level of additional revenue. I would probably have spent a few hundred quid over the last few months if I had been able to buy online as before.

I would think it will be back soon enough, they’re probably just concentrating on making sure all the stores that are open/re-opened are doing well before they decide to go online again.

You'd better hide mate if anyone pays fifteen quid for Carrie 2......
