I´m really into this recent wave of horror docs, but like you, I´m interested to know the upgrades as bonuses of this edition. The original "Document Of The Dead" and the doc of the Anchor Bay ultimate edition were great docs so this will have to be something enormous to make me get this.

I put in my preorder. Kinda sucks that only the original cut is in HD (new footage SD only?) but it'll be good to have all the same.

Cool, I'll bite.

Thanks X-Human. I appreciate the post. I would have kept my Amazon pre-order had you not posted this. Now there are 1499 of these available. It's very strange that the new material is on a DVD whereas the old footage is in HD.

A lot of the footage recorded over the years since the original DAWN sessions was shot on different, non-HD formats -- that's why only the original, 16mm-based version is being made available on blu.

Just placed myself an order for the bluray/DVD combo too!

[Gore Lunatic]

Just pre-ordered my copy as well

I see. Thanks for the clairification.

Awesome news about the Limited Edition. I pre-ordered.

[Mikey Horror]

I pre-ordered too. I figured what the hell, beats regretting not getting it after it sells out. It's not like today isn't already a crazy expensive pre-order day between this, Twilight Time's Night of the Living Dead and the iPhone 5.

I think this Blu-Ray/DVD combo edition will be one of the rarest most sought after releases of the year... I fully expect the 1500 to be gone within a week at least.

I want this, but I need to get caught up on all of the new Hammer region B blu-rays now that I'm finally region free. It doesn't help matters that Criterion is releasing three must buy blu-rays in December (Qatsi Trilogy, Following, & Brazil).
