Yep, I got it too. $20 for both movies was too tempting, lack of all the same extras on BR 1 be damned. It'll let me get BR II on Blu as well with what extras it has.
And we won't have to wait over a month for it to be delivered when its shipped out!
But I do wonder if we'll have any friends get it before we do and think about no longer talking to them again.

That's what I was thinking. I mean it may have been a pricing error but it did apparently last over 12 hours so if it really wasn't intentional I don't know if it would have been there that long without enough people noticing when the orders shot up.

Plus, I think many of us have had Amazon honor wacky price mistakes before. Anyone else remember the B2G1 free for *any* Blu-ray email that was accidentally sent out? It was only supposed to be a select few titles that were eligible but wasn't sent out like that. I got two or three of the first wave of Criterion Blu-rays for free because of that.

I ended up re-pre-ordering the title during Amazon's brief $19.99 sale on the set.
Goddamnit. Why does Battle Royale have to be one of my favorite movies of all time? I've spent way too much paying for the film on various formats that I've just come to terms with it.

I sold the sole HK R3 DTS DVD of Battle Royale II literally right after receiving it. For $19, I see it as having a backup copy of the original film on Blu-ray alongside having a coaster of the sequel.

hmmm.after seeing that there really isnt anything new to this release I am kinda disappointing. I suppose I will still keep my $19.99 pre-order but damn they really dropped the ball if there isn't a new documentary or any commentary.

This has bugged me since they first released images of the sleeves. Glad to see it get a little shaming:

Yeah, "Director's Cut" is a bit of a misnomer for the Special Version, as director Kinji Fukasaku got his final cut on the original theatrical version. The Special Version was created specifically after the success of the film, and even had newly shot footage. I don't think it was ever referred to as a Director's Cut in Japan, but foreign releases have opted to label it that.
