Just picked this up today at CC for $14.99. I had not bought this previously so I figured what the heck. The movie ticket tipped it for me as it did with the Predator CE that came with the free ticket to see AvP. My wife and I went to see that at a matinee for $6.50. So it ended up costing us $3.25 each to see AvP. Probably do the same thing for Ring 2.

I've never heard that, but it's possible, since I don't own RINGU, I'm just going off what I've heard regarding it. I've never seen it mentioned that it's just the video releae trailer, personally.

Go here and click on "Trailer"...it's all about that last shot with the squealing tone:

This looks to be the website from "Rings", or at least a promotional site for the short film.

I watched the short film and was pleasantly surprised. I'd doubt it is really necessary to bridge to the new film .... but on its own merits ... pretty good and interesting. I think people that enjoyed the first film might enjoy it as it moves the story on while still maintaining the flavor of the U.S. version.

The rest of the features are just filler stuff except it is nice to have the trailers and the ring videos used within the films.

I traded this duplicate of THE RING at Wal-Mart for ENEMY MINE and WHAT DREAMS MAY COME: Special Edition, so I got RINGS and the movie ticket for very nearly nothing. Gotta love it...

Yeah, that's pretty cool with the squeal tone and the silent scream. This is definitely not the trailer on the Ringu DVD. I guess the only way to get this one is on this new Rings disc or maybe some foreign import of The Ring.

I went ahead and picked up the Rings disc, too. I thought the short was okay. It seems plausible that that's what some stupid kids would do....play with the tape as an adrenaline rush. Sounds similar to the story of the new Eye sequel, The Eye 10, where a bunch of kids try the 10 different ways of conjuring up ghosts. I wish this disc had more behind the scenes stuff on the movie, itself, though.

Apparently, the character of "Jake" is in Ring 2.

If anyone is looking for a custom cover for the 2 disc set, I made one for myself that is now available for download.

I've picked this up at Best Buy and saw that it has it's own case, but can't remember what it's like. Can anyone describe it?

So is Rings available online? I already had The Ring, so I don't want to buy again just to see something that joins the two films together. Not looking for illegal sites, just thought that there might be a legit version somewhere.
