Saw - Uncut...Best. Packaging. Ever.
 

I saw Saw in theaters and wasn't that impressed, but I just got ahold of one of the new Saw Uncut editions and holy crap, is it sweet.

It's in a jewel case, which is weird...but it's filled with flowing blood and a little saw, which floats around inside. So sweet.

-smile- pics?

the only thing that wasn't impressive about Saw in my mind was the bad casting decision of Cary Elwes. Still gonna buy it though.

Why are you buying movies that you didn't really like?

because Netflix doesn't rent out double dip titles or most b&m video stores for that matter - I'll probably just watch it the extras, listen to the commentaries and then just trade it in for some instore credit at CD Game exchange.

Slayer did something like that 15 years ago with a limited version of their Seasons in the Abyss CD:

the new DVD is in a 2-Disc Jewel Case? without a full DVD case surrounding it or something? i haven't read that in any review...odd. but, i also thought the original "Saw" DVD had some cool packaging, but a jewel case???

I didn't <i>buy</i> it, I got ahold of one because we got them in at work a week early.

Yeah, it's a two disc jewel case, apparently. Unfortunately, I don't have pics. I'm usually not impressed by packaging and absolutely abhor slipcases that are the same as the DVD cover, but this packaging is really awesome.

And sorry, since I can't take it out of the store, I don't have pics to show.

so it will fit oddly with all other DVD's? that is just nonsensical.

Is this two-disc jewel case supposed to be some kind of variant in the packaging for this release? Because the pic on dvdempire shows what looks to be a transparent dvd keep case with room in the front cover for the floating blobs of blood and the mini circular saw blade. Or did they just up and change the packaging format last minute?

Is the extra scenes just talking or actual gore?

It seems to be a dvd sized plastic jewel case. Hinged on the side but clear throughout. The blood effect and the little saw are pretty cool and are on the "door" of the case, but only a real low price will get me to pick it up. Not the movie ticket it comes with , or the box.... low price.

(Never seen the movie)

what exactly is a "dvd sized plastic jewel case"? that seems like an oxymoron.

take a dvd case ... make it hard plastic and clear like a cd case.
Pretty much like that (only going off my quick look/pickup while at work)

Some music DVDs come in jewel cases... Pixies, Belle & Sebastian, Sneaker Pimps. I'm assuming that type of case is what's meant by "DVD-sized jewelcase."

Actually, it's thinner than a DVD case.

It's about the width of one of the older jewel cases, or a DVD Audio case.

Unfortunately, since I didn't buy it, I can't take pics.

yea ... i need to get myself a better cameraphone...

:nopics:

A picture says a thousand words.

this sounds like the case that Platinum uses/used with their discs.

edit: is it something similar to this?

My Russian Nochnoy dozor (Night Watch) DVD came in a case like that.

Yep.

Gimmick was used on the VHS box for Rutger Hauer's "Bleeders" as well.

dvd jewel cases were quite common during the first year of dvd....
you just don't see them that often anymore.

Here's a picture of the front from davisdvd.com

Wow! that is cool. Don't know about best ever. But seriously kinda nice a little bit.

Just got them in today at work. Kinda concerned about the durability of the plastic case, but what a cover!

So, the extras are all new, and don't include the first editions, and vice versa? Work (Hollywood Video) has "Saw" as one of the 2/$10 titles this month.

Yeah, all different extras. Which is why I'm keeping my original DVD and getting this one.

If I were to own the Saw Uncut dvd, I'd be worried about accidentally getting that case cracked and not knowing about it until coming home one day and finding the nearby dvds covered in blood

I've been showing this case to everyone, and they think it's hilarious.

Except for a few ladies, who said "Ew....gross!"

And yes, it's an all-new edition, features included. I was planning to eBay my original DVD, but now I'm keepin' both!

Well , i will be picking it up tuesday i know that.

Looks cool but my favorite is still my <b>Evil Dead : Book of the Dead</b>. Especially the new one for Evil Dead 2 that has a chip which lets out a scream when you squeeze the eye.

I don't own either version, so I'll pick up this new edition and get the single, which I believe is $10 at Target this week.

think Texas Chainsaw LE meat cover...

I did the same with one of the original "Highlander" releases as well. Sounds like a plan.

I may have to get this now....supposed to be a free movie ticket also, so that's worth it. I really enjoyed this movie....Saw 2 looks good too. The DVD case looks neat also. I like the flowing blood.

Looks like the case Sega Saturn games came in.

I have a few of these "Alpha" Jewel cases.

I just picked it up today....neat looking case. I'm glad they actually put SAW on the spine, so it will line up with the rest of the collection (unlike Basic Instinct Ice Pick case)

I didn't realize this was a 2-disc set....very nice :)
