AOD DVD Question

[The_Return]

Just a quick question...

Anyone know if Army of Darkness will be getting the whole "Book of the Dead" treatment like ED and ED2? I plan to buy those sometime soon, and would like to know if AOD will have one aswell

There ist a Region 1 boxset, I know that for a fact.

However, both of the first 2 films have a sweet Special Edition DVD in awesome Necronomicon packaging, which might be what you were thinging of:


Evil Dead SE-

No. Evil Dead 1 and 2 are on Anchor Bay, A.O.D. is on Universal. Simple as that.

there are more versions of each of these films than i can remember.one would think that sam raimi(now's that he's a big time director)would use a little of his pull and throw the fans a bone in the form of a box set.

Philips released the first Video 2000 VCR, the VR2000, in 1979. Several other models distributed by Philips, Grundig and Bang & Olufsen followed, but manufacturing ceased in 1988. Video 2000 eventually lost the videotape format war, and Betamax followed soon after.
The Philips VR2020 was the first mass-marketed model of the Video2000 format sold in the UK.

V2000's failure may be partially attributable to its late entrance to market (slowed by problems in the development of the DTF system). Also, although it was technologically superior to the competition in several ways, it could not compete with VHS and Betamax's key advantages:

* VHS and Betamax already had established market share and ample prerecorded video libraries
* VHS and Betamax videocassettes offered longer continuous playback times
* VHS and Betamax sported slightly better display resolution
* VHS and Betamax VCRs were reputedly more reliable.
* Betamax camcorders arrived at market first
* VHS and Betamax enjoyed international distribution

A key intention of the V2000 format, particularly those sporting the DTF feature, was to have been tape compatibility: A tape from any machine should play perfectly on any other machine. However some early machines had audio heads mounted in varying positions causing lip-sync errors between recordings. Furthermore, the required close tolerances and fragility of the DTF system resulted in significant inter-machine compatibility issues which were never fully resolved.

By the latter half of the 1980s, Philips had already begun producing their own VHS-compatible VCRs.
