That's too bad. I really want to see (and buy) more titles that are/were mods as DVDs and/or blurays. I was looking forward to this one.

Apparently you can install the earlier firmware if the player you buy is one of the newer ones that's region-locked, but I'm not sure how you'd go about getting the earlier firmware. If you poke around online, you can probably find more info.

Does Blu-ray.com no longer allow you to link from the larger cover art? I was only able to copy the smaller image, but copied the larger one from their forum.

A bit more info, from Studio Canal:

Our release is currently set for early 2012.
I do apologize for the inconvenience the changes have meant for you, unfortunately this is often out of our hands as it relies on delivery of materials from outside sources. We set a release date in good faith having been given an estimate of when to expect delivery, but then if this changes, we have to reschedule.

I'm just asking, not judging. :^)

It's a very hard gritty 70's revenge that grindhouse fans salivate over. But beyond that, i think the acting is great, and writing is superb.
actually one of my favorite Paul Schrader screenplays.

The cover for the upcoming blu now has a MASSIVE Blu + DVD banner at the top. Not something I'd normally care about, but it kills the cover. Still will enjoy owning it though.

I can't believe this is coming out next week.

I know, it seems like it's been delayed half a dozen times. Between this and the slew of upcoming Hammer films, it looks like my Insignia will be working overtime.

Hooray! A catalog title encoded *correctly*, WITH the natural film grain! No tinkering, DNR, or other silliness has been applied, according to the review.
I'll definitely be importing this, hoping to send a big THANK YOU to Studio Canal's encoding house for doing this one right.
