Arrow Video isn't content with releasing a modern genre classic with just excellent picture and sound. Nope. They're one of the few companies left standing that seek to appease the die hard collector on a consistent basis, and we absolutely love them for it. And their Battle Royale collector's edition looks like it's their most ambitious offering yet.

Arrow will release their epic, limited edition gift set of Battle Royale on DVD and Blu-ray on December 13th in the UK. Our good friend Stef Hutchinson dropped us a line telling us that he has a new comic book titled Battle Royale: Parent's Day included in Arrow's box of awesomeness!
