I prefer this if only because it's more consistent. The spines should look cool. Volume 1: Black on Yellow, Volume 2: Yellow on Black. I'm also glad it doesn't say "THE NEW FILM FROM QUENTIN TARANTINO" quite as large as the other one.

Really, I could understand what you're saying if they did it at the same time as the volume 2 release (see: LOTR theatrical releases, or the Jurassic Park trilogy), but I think they're smarter than to think that they can simply repackage two existing DVDs three to four months later in a piece of cardboard and make tons of money during the holiday season. They'd sell to the people who hadn't bought it previously and who wanted to save a buck or two on the combined package, but they wouldn't ensure double-dipping from the fans, which is what they WANT to do. I'm pretty confident that it will be a SE at the very least, and I think it's possible it will be an extended version as well (especially if you consider Quentin's plan to put that version in the theaters for a limited run... the timing works out).

I don't think this was ever the intended cover art - just something to show before the actual art was revealed.

Kinda like how Peter Jackson just released the same LOTR discs in a new package three months later? :P

I think we'll see the different cuts next year. If Vol 2 were out next month or so, maybe this Christmas.

The disc art itself is actually like the JPN R2 Vol.1 DVD.

As much as I like the movies, I'm thinking of waiting until the unified recut is released. I heard Quentin is working on that.
The reason is the recut may bring some needed balance to the movies. I feel that the first one was cut to emphasize the action so people will go see the 2nd one. That one is a bit heavy on the background story. A recut may smooth the flow since there's no pressure for the first half to hook you into the second half.

Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 are too way different movies. They are like apples and oranges when you compare them as films. With the other cover art you had a distinctness with the 2 films which is the way it is supposed to be because after all these movies are way different and way distinct from one another.
Different is good in some cases especially when 1 movie is an opus to the over-the-top stylized chop suey, sword slashing violence of old
and the other is an homage to a more cerebral, talkie, mood piece of stylized banter and witty repartee akin to probably his other masterpiece "Pulp Fiction"
Therefore...different covers is good. Same covers is bad!

What would you expect to see uncut in Vol 2?
