[HGervais]

Ding. Ding. and Ding.

[cdouglas]

Oh, man. This looks spectacular. I'm all over that three-disc version.

[J.M. Vargas]

Yes, a loud and clear 'FU' to Stottaro from someone that matters (Coppola). I can safely throw my butchered 2:00:1 DVD out the window, this is the real deal!

[J.M. Vargas]

And here's something that hasn't been revealed anywhere yet but we've officially confirmed it here at The Bits: Hearts of Darkness, which was originally filmed in 16mm, has been scanned in HD and will be presented in full 1080p on Blu-ray!

- Digital Bits.

Great Zombie Jesus!!!

First the Alien Anthology, now THIS!

Hit every store in the damned city yesterday looking for my launch day copy. Had my whole evening planned around this damn disc... and of course - NO ONE in the damn city had it. It was my last stop (CD Plus) where the manager pulled out a memo mentioning a recall due to a "production issue". Anyone else in Canuckistahn manage to secure a copy through traditional retail channels?

If we got screwed because of bilingual packaging, I may have to choke a bitch.

There were a bunch of copies of both editions at Future Shop yesterday

[Andrew Forbes]

And now all the copies on the Future Shop shelves have been pulled.

[YanMan]

I'm too lazy to dig up a link, but I read somewhere this week that the Canada issue is due to missing booklets in the 3-disc set and mislabeled discs in both sets.

[Steve T Power]

I heard this as well... (thanks, CD Plus guy).
