X-Men (2000) DVD variations
I am looking to buy a copy of the original X-Men (2000) movie on DVD, and not the "1.5" release. I'd prefer the "deluxe packaging", pictured here: http://i1037.photobucket.com/albums/...3/P1040194.jpg . Amazon has three entries for the widescreen film:
http://www.amazon.com/X-Men-Widescre...1286101&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.com/X-Men-Single-W...1286101&sr=1-7
http://www.amazon.com/X-Men-Widescre...1286101&sr=1-2
which I can't tell apart. But I'm guessing the 2006 re-release is a keepcase. Can somebody tell me which is the "all cardboard" variety, or at least give me the UPC code? Thanks!

I don't have a UPC code to help out, but have you tried used DVD stores? I'd imagine you could find this packaging for no more than a few bucks.

Yes, the disc was re-released in 2006 around the time TLS came out in a standard case.
I also think after the first pressing the digi version lost the metallic look and was printed on a matt style board. This was limited as by 1.5 was released soon after, and the one disc pretty much dissapered until the 2006 release.
I still have my original 2000 release (Complete with bonus mini comic and mini cd rom!)
I love this design so much I'll probably never get rid of it!

Looking forward to your post. (I haven't spent any time yet researching your bonus version, but might it have been a Target/Best Buy/Circuit City/Wal-Mart exclusive? Still weird that I hadn't run across it before posting here.)

Re: X-Men (2000) DVD variations
Ok, so now that I look at the packaging I see that time has played tricks on my mind.
There was no mini comic included, I had an exclusive (Normal size) Toys R Us comic from the theatrical release that I somehow remembered coming with the dvd.
I guess the reason I thought that, is because of the sealed pack of two collector's cards with the dvd that I may have mistook for a mini comic. Both sides of the card pack have the same X-men logo and I haven't ever opened them so I'm not sure what images are on the other sides.
The Dvd came with a folded 4 page insert, A fox coupon booklet, 2 collectors cards and the bonus CD rom. If I remember correctly I bought this at Best Buy on release day in 2000. Which was probably in November because I was doing other holiday shopping. My Best Buy card was my first credit card so any dvd I bought between 99 and 01 was probably purchased there.

Wow, that's certainly a collectible. I definitely hadn't found one in my travels, but now just noticed a single "like new" copy for sale at Amazon. And I think you answered my other question, too. Of the 2000, 2001, and 2006 versions, this is the original release. But as the cd-rom doesn't appear to have anything that isn't in the X-Men 1.5 set, I shall likely stick with the no-frills version. Thanks again for the help!
