I've seen Battle Royale on DVD but I don't own it! It's a great movie:) I'm trying to get a good price on Amazon but the bids always go higher than what I want to pay for it!! Can't wait to watch your review when you get it :)

Great vid, thanks for the info. I read about this release ages ago, but forgot about it, so thanks for the reminder.

I already own the Blu ray release from Arrow, but I want to see the sequel, so will pick up the 4 disc set. Battle Royale is amazing by the way and I think you will enjoy it alot.

@ANDREWBALLINA

No problem, man! Sweet that you got the Arrow video release, while I would love to get that release, I can't afford the expensives of importing from Europe or Japan. Once I get it, I'll would love to review it. =d

This is awesome for the people that didnt get a chance to pick up the Region free mega set that was released several months ago in the UK.

@genekelly101

Yep and one of those people happens to be me. I can't wait to get it, heard great stuff about it. =d

[ANDREWBALLINA]

@TylerPreston20 .... Just wait for the US release mate and get the 4 disc set. The Arrow release doesn't have the sequel.

@TylerPreston20 - Awe damn man that sucks dude. Thank goodness its finally getting the NA release. Its amazing. One of the best foreign films out there. You'll love it.

Well, it would be difficult to remake a film such as Battle Royale plus it'll probably won't get a rating from the MPAA ( the American version of the BBFC). I can't wait to see it once I get the Ultimate Edition.

@FilmFanPete

No problem, Pete, it's also one my anticipated Blu-rays as well. I'm really glad Anchor Bay decided to go all-out for the 4 disc set. =d
