BEAUTIFUL TRANSFER !!!!!!, March 7, 2008
This review is from: Phantasm Sphere: The Complete Collection [Region 2] (DVD)
So, for about EVER, I wanted all the Phantasms on DVD, but not in this country of ours! So, ages ago, has been over 3.5 years, I bought the silver ball box set from the Anchor Bay UK Website, ([...]), and with a regionless dvd player, I got to enjoy all the films in clean, crisp letterbox! It's in Region 2...UK. The ones selling here, used, are like mine. They're gorgeous and clean. For years, I only had VHS copies, and they looked horrific. This release is in original letterbox ratio, enhanced for 16X9 TVs.
I think I paid like 80-90 bucks for the box set and the ball, but apparently, its no longer in print if it's going for 125 now, used. Still is worth it, though. I can assume, with almost certainty, that America will never see this type of box set in a silver ball package. Anchor Bay is good about their releases, and if it didn't enter our market after all this time, I am beginning to wonder if we'll see Phantasm 2 in the US on DVD. Somebody must be holding everything up with copyright.
Anchor Bay is pretty awesome, I think. Some don't think as I, but everybody can't be happy at once.
