Seriously, why the hell does Cronenberg, save for Criterion releases of course, get so shafted with his American releases? First I came across a Canadian Cronenberg Boxset. But hey, at least that’s a region 1 release, so if I wanted to pay the shipping fees…
But then England had to slap me in the face with this bad mutha:
Look at that thing! It’s times like this that make me respect my conscious decision to not buy a region free DVD player, because I know I’d only dig myself deeper into debt ordering things like this left and right. But I think living in abject squalor may be worth owning that beast.
It comes in a freaking telepod! Come’on!!
And if that image doesn’t do the trick, read the details of everything in this unholy set at the solid UK horror blog I Spit on Your Movie and then proceed to hurt inside like I do.

Cool. That’s even better than the region 3 Phantasm box set I bought last year.
Also, region-free players are way cheap now. You can get them for under $100.
