Peter Jackson's version is not available on DVD or Video, but they do have various copies of both Braindead and Dead Alive on video/DVD in both rated and unrated versions as well as specific cuts for different countries too.
The best video store here in San Francisco has four version (two are imports from Japan and Australia with the title Braindead).
I don't blame Peter Jackson for keeping the most complete version to himself. The movie is brilliant and knowing there is an even longer version that is pretty much inaccessible just adds to the mystic of the film.
I would kill for the Peter Jackson version on DVD though!
