That Amazon link is all messed up. The MSRP on Arrow's own site is $39.95, not the 99.95 that Amazon is listing.

”Typical price” $100.

At $40, the up-charge is to cover extras, all of which come with production costs. Without extras, this disc could be $30. But it’s also impractical to create a second skew w/o extras.

No, Amazon has screwed up the pricing of this release. All of the other retailers are showing a much lower discounted price.

Hoping for a great image of this Oscar nominated work by Conrad L. Hall. The Arrow brand makes it promising and I have pre-ordered.

The Imprint Blu-ray release was a disaster and kept my dvd to watch it. I hope Arrow Video will do a better job on it.

Amazon has corrected the MSRP to $39.99. I expect the sale price will be discounted 30-35% off which will make the final sale price $28.00 or less.

If the film was my property I’d not permit a 2k scan of the OCN. The element is being placed in jeopardy for a home video master.

Well, that horse has left the barn.

Have the Blu-ray and did a a/b comparison to the awful Imprint release and there is a slight improvement in detail and brighter looking colors but i guess the overall softness is due to the way the film was shot.

Having seen the film opening week inn 1975 in a first run theatre, Day Of The Locust was always a soft looking film.

Back in those days, of course, we didn't expect the kind of clarity you have today.
