Unfortunately, they are probably Universal DVD-18s.

5 movies on 3 DVD's isn't ideal, but the price is right (especially since it comes with a free ticket to see Inside Man). Columbia House members can get it for around $20 and, with one of the B1G1 codes from the DVD Club Forum, get another DVD free and free shipping.

Great deal. I've only seen Clockers in that group, which I loved. Are the other 4 films worth owning? My favorite Spike Lee movie is still 25th Hour.

Is the ticket included everywhere? I looked in the Best Buy and Circuit City ads, and don't see any mention of the free movie ticket...

This is in the item description from Amazon.com:

Coupon for savings on a theatrical admission to the film Inside Man (limited time offer)

I hope that doesn't mean it's one of those stupid mail-in rebates.

I was at BestBuy B&M today, the ticket appears to be included in the set, it has a sticker on it stating as much (didn't get it, so don't recall the exact verbage, but I double checked it because I hadn't seen it in the ad).

The sticker says it is for a free ticket (up to $7.50 value). Apparently, it's not a free ride for a prime time flick (at least not in the Atlanta area), but it will get you into a matinee.

It is if they work. I'm sick of all these unneccessary multiple discs, let's use the format's full storage potential already!

Maybe they are flippers? I know it still sucks, but I don't want to 2 movies compressed on the same side. I'd rather have two of the discs double-sided...

Anyone know if any of the discs have any special features. Considering 5 movies on three discs I'd think not.

Does anybody know if the contents in this 3-disc set are exactly the same as those in the individual releases?

I believe that it's been reported that the contents are the same.
