Turbine release is out 1/21/22.

UHD coming in March.

Maybe there is a rare case when an alternate version can only be included in a limited edition, but I'm not sure I've heard of any such case. It is strictly to sell limited editions.

I can't recall the specifics right now, but there was a case where the extended cut of something had a scene with a song that they couldn't license for the theatrical release, but they got a limited license when they did the DVD, but like I said, that was a one-off situation.

Fuck Arrow.

Their limited editions are overpriced. For all the bitching that people did about Criterion's 4-disc Citizen Kane UHD, Arrow's 2-disc Blu-ray of Mill of the Stone Women has the same MSRP.. As does their 2-disc Major Dundee.

My biggest beef with Arrow limited editions is the whole practice of making alternate cuts, like the Ulysses cut of Waterworld or the TV edit of RoboCop exclusive to their insanely expensive limited edition sets. Unless it's a rights thing, like only being allowed to do so many copies of an alternate cut due to music rights issues or other crap, it's just being dicks to say "1200 people can get this other version that people have wanted to see released for years, everyone else can go fuck themselves!"

That's exactly the kind of crap I would have expected in Germany. Glad I imported their no frills edition.

Hope to Christ this sells poorly, I don't want them getting ideas. Their limited releases are getting expensive enough as it is.

[Derrick King]

Arrow is going to release this on UHD, but right now it is only available as this hideous Zavvi £149.99/$179.99($205.99 MSRP) exclusive

[Ian Jane]

Arrow reissue coming in a steelbook soon.

[Mark Tolch]

Yeah, I can get down with a UHD, already. I don't need to buy it on blu again.

[agent999]

If it's getting the UHD treatment in Germany and France I'm hoping that Arrow or Universal themselves do a standard UHD without the frills.

[Ian Jane]

Very fancy German release coming via Turbine.
