Electronic Press Kit = (typically) 15-20 minute featurettes commissioned by a studio making a particular film designed to build viewer interest in said film, usually by offering little more than a sketchy plot outline, plenty of scenes from the said film and self-congratulatory, "pat on the back", "mutual affection" interviews with stars and crew.

I try to skip the dual inventory marketing gimmick every chance I get.
I made an exception for Batman Begins and King Kong due to the content.
This is another example of a DVD I would have bought if it was released as a 2 disc set only.
Now, I'll rent instead.

The mere mention of "digi-pack" makes me cut and run on this one. I dunno, I may be a dizzy broad, but I like my keep cases and digi-packs haven't the durability I would prefer.

Here's a review of the 2-discer from DVDActive:
DVDActive review for Munich: Limited Edition
Also, it looks like Walmart is going to have some sort of bonus disc to go along with the 1-disc release (I don't know the content of the bonus disc). Still not sure which set I'll go for...the 2-disc Limited Edition or the Walmart 1-disc (with bonus disc).

For those who are still on the fence, DVDActive has images of the two-disc set here:

Being a collector of dvds, as well as a fan of great movies, the two disc is the way to go (at least for me). I also can certainly understand the negativity over the price point on this release.

What was a definite buy turned into a definite rent. And that was before this guys review. Once I found out that for 20 bucks you get nothing but the movie, and for 40(!) bucks you get what used to be considered the standard 20 buck release, I said fuck it.
I don't buy barebones movies at retail price, and I'll only go over 25 dollars for Criterion discs. This little gimmick of theirs that pretends we have no memories has got to be losing customers. I have been buying far fewer DVD's since they started doing it.

i was hoping the 2 disc would include some docs about the event itself, from a historical perspective, but it sounds like its all making-of type stuff, so as nice as it looks i think i'll pass on the 2disc. I may even pass on the 1 disc until its (inevitably) in one of those "2 for $20" deals at Best Buy or Circuit City a couple months down the road.

If the 2-disc Limited Edition isn't going to be available in Canada, I'm going to be pissed. I usually try to get the best version of a DVD out there, so I was hoping to get it. If I have to stick with the one disc, it won't be the end of the world, but it'd be nice to be able to get the 2-disc without having to order it online.

I've had to re-buy Jaws and Saving Private Ryan, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is another release later on. I'm personally going to pass on the 2-disc, and like I said in the Bargains Forum, I think your extra money would be better spent purchasing the single-disc Munich along with the documentary on the events, One Day in September.
