We have various releases which have gone out of print and we
thought that our blog might be a good place to address what this means; how it
happens and why.
A particular version of a release may go out of print for
one of two reasons. The first and most simple is that a release goes out print
because it is superseded by another release. This is especially true if special
packaging is involved such as a SteelBook or Slipbox. Along this theme another
reason might be in the case of an upgrade where an older DVD becomes redundant
due to a new restoration, packaging or new special edition. This is the case
with some of our releases including the first DVD of The House by the Cemetery
(later re-issued from a new HD restoration), SteelBooks of Battle Royale and Zombie
Flesh-Eaters as well as various Slipbox editions (all still available in the
usual Arrow Video packages).
The second reason refers to licensing issues. Films are most
commonly licensed by distributors from producers for a limited time. Usually it
is common for these licenses to be easily renewed but sometimes there are
complications and this is not possible (see our releases of Dawn of the Dead,
Martin and Savage Streets, all sadly OOP). We do everything we can to keep
films in print and should they be lost we will endeavour for them to become
part of the Arrow Video series again in the future.
Unfortunately we cannot advise how long anything will remain
in print but we can say that all limited editions are truly limited and we will
not print more of a limited edition to service demand. We understand that for
our limited editions to remain special they must truly be limited so if there
is a limited edition you want but don't have yet we would advise not waiting
too long!
Just how limited any set is depends from one release to
another. Our SteelBooks tend to be limited to 4000 copies, our other limited
editions have either had their numbers printed such as the two sets of Battle
Royale (Blu-ray, 10,000 and DVD 5,000) whereas others such as Demons 1 and 2
Slipboxes are not numbered but are even more limited at just 2,000 copies. The
best place to see if a title is out of print is to check on our website, which
will list as many of our releases as possible, even out of print titles, which
will be listed but no longer available for sale. Our ‘out of print’ section
includes titles that are no longer commercially available through stores such
as Amazon or HMV so whilst they are still available from us they should be
considered on the critical list!
We hope this post was informative but if you have any
questions not answered here, let us know in the comments!

Fantastic informative post Arrow folk. Thank you
ReplyDeleteare your disks region free?
ReplyDeletesome of them are region free, check the website! www.arrowfilms.co.uk
DeleteRegion Free does not always entail it will work in your DVD player. Theres 'Region Free NTSC' and 'Region Free PAL' Im assuming Arrow's discs, being they are UK based, are 'Region Free PAL' which means it wont work in a US/Canadian/Japanese NTSC DVD player regardless of the 'region free' title.
DeletePAL or NTSC do not apply for Bluray. You only need to worry about the region. Not sure if Arrow is region free. I don't believe it is though.
DeleteMany are region free but please check the information on our site before purchasing www.arrowfilms.co.uk
