One of the greatest SF shows ever is finally getting a proper release!

I pity people for whom the phrase 'Max Headroom' is merely a handy warning on carpark boomgates. But a revolution is coming - soon, the classic cyberpunk TV show from the late 80s will be getting a glorious release on DVD!

All 14 episodes (plus undisclosed extras), will be released this August, and it might even include the original film that inspired the series, 20 Minutes into the Future. Shout! Factory took care of the recent release of The Middleman, and they did that cult show good service - we have high hopes for this one too.

And for those who are ignorant... here's Max helping out Art of Noise on their track, Paranoimia.

Oh yeah... that's what we listened to in my day!

Behind the scenes with Mass Effect 3! GTX 560 VGA round-up! Essential Skyrim tweaks to improve your game! Plus reviews, news, hardware, more games, and easy to following modding guides for PC builders. ON SALE NOW!
