Finally
Now I can retire my old DVD (well, I'll wait until I have this one in my hands)

Doesn't seem like the Psychological test film from the lasderdisc is ported over, unless that is considered "Behind the scenes" material.

Wow, this is a release I always just chalked up to internet hopefuls. Must have been close to 10 years ago I remember rumblings about this to begin with. Nice to see it finally gets a release it deserves.

It's about damn time!!
I do have the Region 3 DVD that has that same commentary track with a few extras.
Looking forward to this.

Awesome! Can't wait to own it! Now if only Criterion can bring Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai on blu ray, that would rock.

As someone who has never seen the film, I can say that the cover is not a spoiler because I can't relate it to movie. Your response, manic, IS a spoiler because now I know why the cover relates to The Game. Dont worry, ill forgive you.
