unless you're a complete sicko freak, you probably won't mind if it's bad quality. My copy looks like shit, but I don't really care. You hit the (nine inch) nail on the head when you said "shock value". That's what it is. You can talk all you want about how Trent didn't release it because he "didn't want to explain it to the press", but I think it was just because he didn't think it was good enough. Pretty much the only point of the story is to make you realize that being cut up by a chainsaw and eaten really isn't that much worse than being shot, like we see every day in movies. The videos for Wish and Happiness In Slavery are pretty cool though. Anyway, I'd say buy it if it has extra NIN videos thrown on to it, like the ones from PHM and TDS, but otherwise it's pretty short and not really worth $25.
oh, one other thing - this site has the entire Broken movie in RealVideo. The low-quality version is only a 3 meg download, so you might try that before you buy it.
