i think that both the Elite and the original picture disc AB versions are both out of print, but the Elite version is still readily available many places, and at a much cheaper price than what I paid for it when it first came out.

i think i'll pick this one up, i dont have it yet


on a related note, does anyone know where i can pick up the evil dead book of the dead edition for the first movie for relatively cheap?

Only if you pack them in really tight. I don't pack the shelf that 'Evil Dead' is on as much as others, it's fine.

Oh.. I'll double dip for this. Thx for the heads up.

New cover up and specs up on Anchor Bay's site. I am all over this.

That looks cool!

Geofferson 08-17-05 08:37 AM

Awesome -- glad I got rid of the tin.

Those features look exactly the same as the old Limited Edition tin to me.

Mr. Cinema 08-17-05 10:58 AM

I'll wait until it comes in a normal case. I remember the Evil Dead Book version, the disc came in a sleeve that was glued in the book. Mine got scratched when I took it out of the case. No thanks.

demonio 08-17-05 02:38 PM

How much do you wanna bet that in another year or two there will be an Army of Darkness book of the dead edition haha

Mr. Cinema 08-17-05 02:57 PM

I thought all 3 Dead movies were going to get the DiviMax treatment. Is this still happening?

I would gladly welcome this, to be able to display one of the best trilogies of our time all together would be glorious.

Yeah, I sold my tin a while back...can anyone tell us what the differences are with this release, besides the cool case? I really hope for an improved Divimax transfer...

It definitely sports a new DiviMax transfer. The DiviMax logo is on the AB spec page for the title, and the press release announced it.

Can't believe some of you are getting rid of the tins. :eek: I'll be getting this and keeping the tin.

Hmmm, I wonder if the battery can be replaced if you end up pressing the screaming eye too much?

RichardW 08-17-05 05:20 PM

I was thinking about getting rid of my Evil Dead: BotD, but now that he'll have a friend, I guess I'll be buying this, too.

Hopefully that's fixed for this edition.

GameGenie 08-18-05 01:18 PM

Thanks to Dread Central again for providing this info about the extras:

Sam Raimi's Storyboards
A Very Dangerous Stunt
Farewell To Arms
Evil Ed's Lost Scene

Was any of this on the original EDII release? I Don't have access to my copy right now.

Same here...

tofferman 09-09-05 01:22 PM

Based on what has been revealed so far, the new features (if good) would justify one holding onto either the tin or the original Anchor Bay release.

2-Pack of the Dead
 
From DavisDVD:



Anchor Bay will be releasing an Evil Dead 1 & 2 Double Book Limited Edition Gift Set on November 22nd. I haven't been able to dig up any substantial details on this other than a retail of $69.98. Whether this will be just the two Necronomicon sets bundled together, or a third "Book of the Dead" sculpt made for the two films together I just don't know yet. Either way, thanks to Nicholas for the heads-up.
