October 2008 Releases

New Blu-ray, CD, DVD, and PS3 releases for the month of October that seem interesting to me for one or more reasons. If something is too special to come out on a Tuesday like everything else, it’s getting lumped in with the next Tuesday in the list.

Got pushed back over a month. Piss. 10/7: It's pretty good, though it tends to drag on towards the end of the songs where they are just jamming over the same riff seemingly endlessly.
