Found the steelbooks for Afterlife at my local Walmart hidden away on the side of an endcap. Had to look for awhile before I found them. Wouldn't mind picking up the steelbook for the first movie as well but I doubt I'll be able to find it.
Yeah, I own the HD-DVD and it isn't pretty. I doubt they can do a whole lot to clean it up though without a full restoration which is doubtful. I won't be picking up the BD.
Might have to sell my copy too. Kind of wondering if I should keep it though since I don't know what they mean by "tinkering". An original copy may end up being worth more down the road.
Got it for $25 from amazon with free shipping. 2nd movie has tons of action and a memorable villain. 3rd movie should never have been PG-13 and lacks Peter Weller.
