Hopefully yours will come with both discs in a paper wallet. Then, THEN, you'll see my flaming tin in all its glory.
The HD-DVD version comes with the HD-DVD AND standard DVD version of the movie. Also, there's rumour of an even more Specialler Edition set down the road with extra footage!!!
I heard you (or read you, as the case may be). I rarely buy special editions. Especially with all these silly bells and whistles.
Dude. Flames! As I understand it the R3 disc comes in limited edition steel case, but it doesn't have flames so I opted for the limited edition R4 set with flames. I'm a sucker for special editions, limited editions, variant covers, etc. etc., but having flames makes it that little bit more special.
It's pretty much always been like that. Plus shops within a country will have their own variations. For example, the R2 UK version of 'Hot Fuzz' came with a cardboard sleeve, however, HMV had their own exclusive sleeve as did Virgin Megastore. Interweb sites can also have their own exclusive casing, ezydvd is one of them as is Play.
Just took a look at it. It looks like a badly done lunchbox. Just do me a favour and send me Gerard Butler, it's easier.
A lunchbox with FLAME!!! That reminds me, I need to pick up the director's cut of 'Ghost Rider' with embossed sleeve. I've not seen '300' since the cinema I hope the visual style translates well to the small screen. I cannot wait!
I've re-watched "300" and it is quite simply fan-bloody-tastic, so much so that I'm going to convert it for my ipod touch so I can view carnage and mayhem Spartan style on my way to and from work.
