i love that they're receiving a little love with the supplements. the octagon was a hilariously bad movie, i would love to own it. if for whatever reason its not region locked (aren't most anchor bay blu's locked?), then i'd definitely be tempted.

Both Blu-rays of these look really good, utilizing high bit-rates on dual-layered discs. The Force of One transfer is grainy, but accurate to the original source material. The Octagon is far less grainy, and the better transfer of the two. Both are definitely superior to the old DVD editions, and I didn't notice any DNR, edge sharpening, or other digital tinkering.
On the audio side, we get a choice uncompressed PCM 2.0 or lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 All of the old extras are ported over, plus audio commentaries from each of the directors (both uncompressed PCM 2.0) — which are new. These are both region "B" locked. I tried them in an "A" player and a region message comes up on the screen. Anchor Bay US may be crappy now, but Anchor Bay UK can still do fine licensed releases of genre films.
