Even at lower res it looks good:
Looks nice; they managed to film everything in HD without it looking too sharp.

Just picked up my copy of the blu-ray and a copy of the steelbook version of ED 1 today at best buy, here's something interesting to note is that when i got there they only had the regular blu ray and dvd version in stock and where they had the steelpak stocked at it was all sold out already

", ED Fans are really quick on the gun when it comes to the special edition's

.
Oh btw if you any of you got the regular blu-ray version, if you hold the cover at just the right angle, they added a slight red filter into the cover as well.
@Maid
I think it's the same extra's regardless if it's the steelpak or blu-ray, and i do agree that they should have some deleted scenes but i have a feeling when they watched them back it probably didn't fit well with the narrative or they went too far in some scenes and decided to scrap them, hopefully in the future we do get to see the deleted scenes from season 1 but i have a feeling it's not going to be worth it if they decided to not add them in.
Ooh, thank you - now I wonder if there's going to be a difference between the blu-ray and the standard edition DVD.

The metalpak at Bestbuy is currently listed on their website as being out of stock. I'm tempted to make a phone call to the local store to see if they have any before running down there, or maybe just waiting for a while since there doesn't seem to be much difference except for the cover. Regardless, I will pick it up at some point... and I'm waiting for the Blu-ray to ship.
According to some people I know who work at my local BB, the metalpacks were extremely limited; some locations didn't even get them!

I'm going through the season right now with the commentary on and i have to say it really does answer a lot questions and it also gives a lot of insight for some scenes that took place, yes the extras may be lacking deleted scenes/Bloopers, but the commentary tracks are basically the true BTS bonus feature for s1 i highly suggest turning them on when you get the chance very informative stuff in there.
in one of the episodes they do confirm one of the problems that took place with the script writing and that was bringing in lucy late because she was working on salem at the time and they had to shoot her scenes out of sequence and trying to figure out her character as the shoot went on, they even mentioned lucy was getting a bit irritated about who ruby was as well .
It's interesting that they're being honest about the writing being a mess.
I wonder if they wished they'd waited to introduce Lucy in the last couple of episodes. Interesting that Ruby comes off as less of a secondary thought than Amanda in the season overall though.
RE Dana: I think one can tell that this is her first major gig and she's sort of wide-eyed about the whole thing. That's how she comes off to me, anyway.

I didn't watch all of the commentaries yet, but I couldn't help but check out what they had to say about episode eight ("Ashes to Ashes"), and I'm even MORE enthused to check out the rest of them.
I like Kelly well enough on the show, and have nothing against Dana DeLorenzo--but on the convention circuit, I feel like she kinda tries too hard and I find her a little cringy--so when I saw she was on commentary duty for my favorite ep (eight), I groaned, but she was a much better presence there than on a convention floor (kinda the same with Bruce, though). Apparently, they recorded these commentaries before the show aired by the way they talk, and they (aside from Bruce) had not seen the episodes cut together yet. So it was a treat to hear Dana react to the episode fresh like an audience member, and to hear her get freaked out or tense from what she was watching. It was actually kinda precious.
The featurettes suck, but the commentaries are gonna be golden. It just isn't an Evil Dead release without a great commentary track.
Well there at conventions they wanna give fans the extra mile when they meet them, so there gonna ham it up and try to give the fans a good time even if it comes off abit cringy or it seems like there trying a bit hard they always manage to give people a good time, but when you listen to them when there not around fans or doing interviews they act calm and just talk normally like they would on set together i like hearing there normal conversations though.
I really loved the commentary track for ep 5 because of one part were bruce talks about not liking some of the filler stuff that was in the original script and basically took dana to his trailer to re-write the whole scene with her and ash to give it more emotional weight, it's really cool to hear stuff like that happened.
Five was the one where they were trying to establish Ash and Kelly's friendship and they're walking away from the brujo's house together, right?

Sorry, if this is covered elsewhere, but is the Blu-ray region free? I ask because there doesn't appear to be a Blu-ray edition for the UK.
It's region one only, as far as I know. I l think there were supposed to be Japanese and UK-only releases?
