Does the Fight Club Collector's Edition come with a booklet?
A few weeks ago I purchased Fight Club CE and it didn't come with any type of insert or booklet. Though it seems to have a little pouch where a booklet would normally be. I bought it brand new at Best Buy and I'm wondering if this is normal or some type of mistake. I doubt Best Buy will take it back since it's been at least a few weeks since I bought it.

It sure does. Cover says "How To Start A Fight".
Mine is the old matte-finish package, though...is yours the same?

No I don't believe mine is the older version but it does have a little pouch where a booklet might be. So I'm wondering if I should go back to Best Buy or just kick rocks.

I think my package should look something like this http://lh5.ggpht.com/_uUZMw5JMUe4/Rm...ub+(2disc).JPG

I think there was a second or third pressing of the SE, and heard somebody mentioning that the booklet was dropped. I think that the SE that have the Fox Collector's numbering dropped the booklet.

Re: Does the Fight Club Collector's Edition come with a booklet?
I was watching Fight Club last night so my first-pressing copy is in front of me on my desk. The booklet is a mix of personal testimony from Chuck Palahniuk and others (not Fincher) about writing the book and its process to becoming a film, all sprinkled with pull-quotes from reviews. I also have here a "Get $2 Back By Mail" coupon when you buy the soundtrack, plus an offer from Fox that when you buy 4 DVDs (not a single title one wouldn't find for under $8 retail these days), you can choose one of the following free: Big, Broken Arrow, Bullworth, Commando, Dr. Dolittle (1998), The Edge, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Marked For Death, Mrs. Doubtfire, Romeo+Juliet (1995), Strange Days, or The Towering Inferno. Oops, offer expired January 31, 2001.

Mine didn't come with a booklet, but in the pocket where the booklet would be, there is a single page chapter insert.

Mine has a booklet; it's one of the original pressings. I remember ordering it from Reel.com back way back when.

It's sad to think how crappy a lot of DVD releases are nowadays, compared to Fight Club CE. After all these years, it's still one of the best-featured releases.

Man, I guess I got lucky. I bought mine from someone here on DVDTalk awhile back and it is not numbered and has a booklet. I assume that is the oldest 2-disc pressing?

It appears the booklet is dropped from the newer releases with the spine #. I still have a couple of the first pressings brand new if anyone is interested in a sale or trade. Check the exchange forum for my post.

FWIW, the steelbook version also comes with a booklet, but it's a glossy version of the matte-finish booklet in the digi-pack version.
