Certainly one I'd be interested in, though it would be nice to have something more over the DVD than just a picture upgrade (and to be fair the DVD upscales very nicely).
Problem as always is the price. I'd import, but that's still £50 vs the £20 or so for the DVD set as it was when I got it), and probably more as I'm guaranteed these days to get hit with customs fees I find :(. UK price will of course be £ for $.
If I hadn't already got the DVD, I'd be less fussed about spending a bit on this.

Now that's more like it. Reasonable for a 6 disc HD set.
I see RRP is £49.99 also. Really did expect it to be £99.99.
From the photo it looks like it's in a tin also.
Now if they can just get individual BR releases down to £10 to £15 ;)
