Any news of a region 2 release? All I have seen so far is the uncut version of episode 1, I would rather buy the whole season.

I have looked for info on this on Amazon, I was hoping that whatever stuff appeared on the House of Chthon disc would be put on the complete season as it seems pointless buying it twice.

I would assume that from the information on the region 1 set from the link above that everything on the House of Chthon DVD will be on the complete series. Hopefully the region 2 will be identical.

Finally got this, I saw it in Tesco and it was cheaper than Amazon or Play. Shame it got cancelled after one season.

Indeed. £11.97 in Tesco at the moment.

That's an amazing price. :thumbsup:
and for anyone wondering the UK set does indeed feature all-new unrated versions of the episodes ... more blood, violence, nudity and swearing.

You know, I was debating whether to get this or not, but with the promise of nudity, how could I refuse?! :lol:

Seriously though it's definitely worth getting irrespective of any changes from the TV edits. :thumbsup:
I can't say the nudity improves the show (although I'm sure some will think so, with a number of surgically enhanced breasts on show in various episodes) but I do like how the tone has changed slightly with that little extra blood, gore and swearing. Bringing the series that much closer to the movies imo. :)

I know I haven't watched this in a while proir to getting the dvd, but I haven't noticed any differences at all.

Personally I thought the very first difference that I saw was in the first few minutes, where the Russian general gets his throat slit by Blade with a much more bloody result.
Other differences that I have noticed include naked breasts and swear words that you do not usually associate with US TV.
I couldn't swear on other differences but I'm sure this series was more gory than what I saw on Bravo.
