Probably the most clever joke I've read on the internet ever.

There's a review in this week's Video Business. It may be online, but I think it requires a registration to read it.

Excellent Joke!
Amazon shipped my copy of the Shawshank Deluxe Set yesterday, should arrive sometime next week here in Germany.
Can't wait for this DVD!

A few observations about the 2-disc set:
1) The transfer is noticably better than the previous DVD. Not night-and-day, but if you have a large display, you will see the difference. I liken it to Superbits vs. the regular edition.
2) A glaring continuity error has been digitally corrected. I won't go into heavy detail for the two of you out there who still haven't seen this movie, but let's just say it involves a bullet wound late in the film. I noticed the change immediately, and not surprisingly, Darabont addresses it in his commentary. He said it's driven him nutz for 10 years and he's thrilled it's finally been fixed.
3) The trailer is 4x3 on this DVD, whereas it was 16x9 on the previous release. Bizarre.
I haven't gotten to Disc 2 yet, but I thought I'd offer my thoughts on the first disc for those who are still on the fence about picking up this set.
