Spaceballs CE out early.
Just picked it up at Cinema One here in Ontario. $19.99 CDN (which is not out of line)
Amazon lists this as a May 3rd release?
Anyone else see this out yet?

Thanks though. It probably is the same one... its very boring and prob one of the worst commentaries out there.
What do the menu's look like? Are they still Spaceballs The DVD Menu which looks like its a console from one of the ships?

Yep. Both the slipcase and case itself are bilingual. I can take that, but it;s the bilingual on the spine that pisses me off.

Different menu.
First on the disc is an anti-piracy ad (you can skip it, thank God)
Then a trailer for Pink Panther with Steve Martin (also skippable)
Then you get the SPACEBALLS title, like the way STAR WARS comes on the screen at the beggining of those movies. Inside each letter of "Spaceballs" there are moving images from the movie. Then "Collectors Edition" comes in underneath. It pans down (a la Star Wars) to the surface of the death star, then the options come up "play, setup, etc). In the right top corner Dark Helmet's helmet appears, and it switches to various scenes there.
LMAO. If you leave it long enough on the menu, space invaders starts playing (the old arcade game) and shoots out all the letters on the options.

lucky! as a matter of fact i just picked the old version up for $7.00. Don't think I'll be getting the CE, but maybe in a "long, long time" away.
P.S. - I couldve sworn this would come in a digi. The packaging mirors that of the Get Shorty Se. Weird...

No Digi. Single case flipper ( as in a 2 sided disc holder in a single sized case. This is a 2 separate disc release)

this surprises me. orgazmo came here a flipper and in can a 2d, as most releases do, but now spaceballs is flipper can and 2d here? seems strange to me...i just hope mgm doesnt change their minds and change R1 to flipper, to be cheap (as always)...
btw- is the slip any different than the keepcase? and how are the xtras?

Sorry for the confusion..
Not flipper as in "1 disc that you flip over"
Flipper CASE as in it looks like a single DVD case but has a 2 sided holder on the inside.
Fear not, this is 2 separate discs. 1 for the film, and 1 for the special features.
