Yes! A Matter Of Loaf And Death was not released in the US so this is awesome and it would look damn sweet on Blu-Ray but DVD will have to do for me.
Cracking good toast Gromit!

Are you sure, Pete? I bought a copy of Loaf & Death in Target last week for $9.99, and it was listed in Linda's new DVD releases for the week of 9/22

Gotta agree that the first three W&G adventures are a must-have. The train chase in "The Wrong Trousers" is hilarious !!

Apparently the DVD version is pan & scan, while the Blu-ray is the theatrical widescreen ratio.

Feathers McGraw, wanted penguin/chicken impersonator.

My friend told me it wasn't released here (but this was back in May and he burned me a copy off of British TV so I guess he meant at that time, but obviously he was wrong since it's out now! I never checked it out from his copy because I couldn't play it for some reason but it wasn't in PAL).
Well, now I can see it! I've loved them ever since I saw The Wrong Trousers on PBS before it caught on. We saw A Close Shave in theaters at a Philly film festival-it was so cool on the big screen.
The Wererabbit film was also enjoyable.

Seems like the complete collection should also have the feature film. Plus all those really short-shorts.

This is why I began considering buy a Blu-ray player today.

The Blu-ray reportedly includes the "Cracking Contraptions" shorts. Not sure about the DVD. The feature film is controlled by Dreamworks, so I don't think it would have been possible to include it here.
