FYI, the dvd is in terrible packaging. it's in one of the old thin cases that you see budget releases in, and the slip cover is thin black plastic.
I have no interest in it, but I figure some would be interested in knowing about it.

The new region 1 disc is not anamorphic, which is a shame, they could have taken 5 mintues and made the disc anamorphic, if they didn't want to bother with a new transfer

Is the new DVD anamorphic? I was just wondering since nobody has mentioned it.
-sigh-
Since no-one is bothering to read the links ABOUT THIS TOPIC WHICH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BEFORE...
THE REGION ONE PIONEER RELEASES, EVEN THE NEW ONE WHICH THEY CLAIM IS REMASTERED AND NEW, ARE NOT ANAMORPHIC AND THE TRANSFER IS NOT VERY GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS FILM DOES NOT EXIST IN A GOOD-LOOKING ANAMORPHIC RELEASE ANYWHERE. STUDIOS ARE, FOR SOME ODD REASON, RELUCTANT TO MAKE ANAMORPHIC RELEASES OF 1.66:1 FILMS. THE ONLY ANAMORPHIC RELEASE OF THIS FILM IS THE AUSTRALIAN PAL R4, WHICH LOOKS WORSE THAN THE NONANAMORPHIC VERSIONS!
Clear?

The ground meat cover is the Limited SE
According to Pioneer's site (they're renaming themselves to Geneon), the one with the chopped meat on the cover is the Limited SE. The black and silver cover with the chainsaw ("Amaray Packaging", whatever that means), is what will continue as the standard release. But the content is exactly the same, I believe. I thought that I should get the limited one--simply because it's limited--but I think it doesn't leave much to the imagination to see ground meat on the cover. Plus it's a little gross.

The new one will be an anamorphic Superbit Divimax SE with 6.1 DTS. It has a new documentary which includes Gunner (as Leatherface) buying the chainsaws needed for the movie at Home Depot. He was running thru the aisles screaming and spinning, customers were freaking out.
