does anybody have this that can take pictures of what it looks like when it's opened? i have it, but i don't want to open it yet, because i only cut a little bit of the plastic off, just enough to get the goodies out from inside, but i have no idea how this dvd set opens, can someone help me out? thanks!

The right side is a magnet, and then the front panel pulls forward. The part that is recessed (like the pages of a book) is part of the back, and holds all of the discs and extras. If that doesn't make sense, I'll try and take pictures of it in a few hours.

The OAR is fullscreen, yet this release does not include the DTS track with it. The widescreen version has both the bottom and the top cropped off of the fullscreen one.

Yeah, for the actual audio/video I'd stick with the R1. But as a collector of cool DVD packaging, I had to have the R3. Plus, it's on sale right now for $12 plus shipping:

I believe the cropped widescreen version is in the digipak, the OAR fullscreen version is in the amaray case.
