Stil, either way, good to see more studios sating some support for Hi-Def!!
I had no feelings about EIV in the UK, packaging was really poor but i thought the pictures were normally pretty good. (specifically early releases like Blaade and lost in Space).

Sorry, that was a mistake on the press release. I've corrected it now after adding the artwork for all 7 titles.

Yep they distribute New Line titles over here. None of the above are New Line though, and you make an interesting point about New Line's neutral stance in the US. Whether they would impose that on their titles over here is another matter I guess.

Nice to see that EIV is carrying its own unique brand of cover design into the high definition generation (see The Crow). :rolleyes:
