It is a pretty nice transfer, and easily the best way you can watch it. Full review coming very soon.

Same situation here. Already have the SD of all the cuts, and the theatrical on blu-ray. I do love the cover art on these though.
I saw Survival of the Dead a couple days ago here at Fantastic Fest. It wasn't all that great, but I got to see Romero there. He's ridiculously nice.

Meh. Already have the U.S. Anchor Bay releases of the Ultimate Dawn of the Dead(SD) and the BD release of the theatrical cut. Nice packaging, but I wouldn't double dip for this unless they had the DC and Argento's cuts in BD as well.

The main reason for only putting out the theatrical edition is that the elements for the other ones just aren't up to it. Arrow really wanted to do them, but they would have looked just awful when put out on Blu-ray. They look fine when presented in SD, but it seems that the extra resolution afforded by high-definition just rips them apart.
This set is the Mutt's Nuts, comprising all three versions, the theatrical in Blu, a ton of extras and all wrapped up in packaging which you won't get anywhere else.
All this for £18? You can't spend you money more wisely than this set.

The great news for us non-Blu Ray converts is that Arrow are currently considering releasing this package on standard DVD too!

Andy3105, it's certainly worth getting. With the theatrical cut in hi-def and the directors cut and Argento version in the same package on dvd I don't think you could beat it for value. Especially with all the extras they've gathered together in one collection.
Any ideas on whether it's worth getting, I always preferred the DC myself but who am I to argue with Romero?

Pretty cool looking collection. To bad no one is putting the other cuts on Blu-ray yet.
We're working on a review of this right now...
