Its supposed to be the best of Vol 1 and 2 with new trailers thrown in and a new commentary.

That's definitely possible - I don't know offhand. I've had no problems playing any Arrow extras on my Samsung.

Just what I wanted to hear. First day purchase for me.

As long as we get the Christina Lindberg trailers and Skatetown USA, I'm happy.

Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray
The blu-ray.com review is kinda nuts. Synapse as "an up-and-coming cult studio"? They've been around for, like, fifteen years! Their reputation is as sterling as it gets. All of the other pre-release comments have been glowing, so I'm surprised the ratings are as low as they are.

DVD Talk didn't get a review copy, but I'm buying this one regardless.

It's $16.99 from Family Video, as are all of the other Synapse titles, but shipping is $1.99 - they had a free shipping code the other week, as noted earlier in this thread.

Perhaps he meant "up and coming" with regards to Synapse only moving into the Blu-ray market recently. Also, the reviewer states "this is likely to be the one and only Blu-ray release of The Exterminator for some time", when there is an Arrow Blu-ray coming in November. As you note, all of the other reviews have been quite positive, considering the obvious source limitations.

Though it may be a while - I just received an email stating that the item was on back-order, and would take 2-4 weeks. How can a pre-ordered item become back-ordered?

Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray
Let's hope Amazon will stick with the 50% off pre-orders on BU titles next year, as it's made buying every new release an easy decision. I'm very much looking forward to the Larry Cohen films and hopefully some new, non-upgrade titles, particularly American horror. As far as re-releases go, I'd be down for Contamination, The Loveless, Deathdream, Shockwaves and some more Spaghetti Westerns.

Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray
Nice review, Adam! As soon as my bank account isn't in shambles from 2 conventions in 3 weeks I'll be picking it up.

Also... does anyone that pre-ordered The Exterminator from Family Video know what the hell is going on with it being backordered?

They told me that Synapse only sent out 1/10th of the copies that they usually do, so it'll be another 2-3 weeks. Hopefully it won't be the same scenario with Maniac Cop.

Ah, thanks. I think Synapse was hoarding all of the copies for their convention appearances where they charged 30 damn dollars

I just don't understand folks who happily shell out retail for the privilege of owning a film a whopping two weeks before the rest of the world.
