Blade Runner - so many versions
I thought I'd start a new thread since the last one was almost 700 posts, which puts a big strain on the forum.
Anyways, here are all the versions that are coming out on December 18th:
2-disc SD-dvd:
4-disc SD-dvd:
5-disc SD-dvd briefcase
5-disc HD-dvd
5-disc Blu-ray
and 5-disc briefcase in either HD or in Blu-ray:
Phew... but still, all that, and yet they don't have the 5-disc in SD-dvd without the briefcase. Not to mention, the 5-disc HD versions cost only a few dollars more than the 4-disc SD version....
Don't get me wrong, these are gonna be awesome, but it wouldn't be a dvd thread if there wasn't something to bitch about.

F*ck Warners, I wont purchase any of these versions unless they release a standard 5 disc DVD non-briefcase version. Stupid sons of bitches! All those Warner execs who had a voice in this release can collectively rot in hell for all I care.

Why aern't they releasing a two disc hd-dvd version??. Not all of us need to see 4 versions of the same film. Having said that even if they don't I will still end up getting the hd-dvd version (without the goofy briefcase)

Major props to Warner for releasing the briefcase version in HD as well. I'm such a loser that I would have bought the 5 disc SD briefcase version (for display) and the standard HD version.
I really hope this is a trend that will continue in the future.

I'm fairly certain the BD and HD DVD releases are 5 discs. As for the briefcase, the only extra feature is the briefcase. I pre-ordered the regular 5 disc BD set, and at $27.95, there's just no way to pass it up.

this may have been discussed in the earlier thread, but can someone explain how much of the content on the hi-def 5 disc sets is actually in hd as opposed to sd? is this a speculative matter that still needs confirmation?

I'm a completist by nature when it comes to disc content, so it annoys me (since I haven't upgraded to a hi-def format yet) that I have to get the briefcase in order to get the 5-disc set on standard DVD.
Don't get me wrong, I'll still buy it on release day (I've got my copy pre-ordered), I just don't need the briefcase.

2. I piss in my wet suit every-time I go surfing (gotta keep warm somehow) so I go above and beyond in that department. And for those heading to HB or Newport you might want to think twice before stepping in the water... then again all the animals in the ocean... oh nevermind. I won't gross you out with the details.
