According to the back of the HD-DVD/DVD combo, all of the 2 disc extras will be on the HD-DVD side. It's making me want to pick up that version for when I get an HD-DVD player later this year...

sadly it seems that all the special features are on the HD-DVD side, so You can't watch them until you upgrade, however its nice to have the movie until then.

from the dvd active link, Scorsese on Scorsese is not listed on the back of any of the covers. I think amazon has it wrong.

Or maybe they made a mistake when they designed the cover. It happens.

I usually buy at DVDPlanet, but I don't see it (2 Disc) listed there. Anyone know why this could be?

Just saw that on Amazon and saw no commentary..........sucks

true. but since its not in the press release, or on any other websites, i have doubts

cdwow has the r3 disc listed with a DTS track, i may have to order that one

thanks for letting me know. i had to order it. this movie in DTS with this soundtrack + 20.00USD = a must buy!!

I will believe an official ad:

On the topic of the DVD, I honestly don't know how it's happened, but a ton of the one discs are on sale on eBay already:

I know how it happened. This past week, Warner Bros. mailed a free copy of the 1 disc DVD for the Departed to all SAG members.

Wonderful :up:

Is it safe to assume that the R3 has the same special features? CDwow doesn't list the Scorsese on Scorsese documentary as one of them.

Overstock, TLAVideo, and couple of other retailers now list "Scorsese on Scorsese" as a feature.

There's this Futureshop exclusive metal case for The Departed which i'm itching to pre-order, except i think it's the 1 disc version of the movie. Which personnally i find pretty stupid since most people who collect movies usually want the 2 disc version of the movie they liked, and nothing screams more 'collector item' than a steel case.. no?

Can anyone tell me if they know for sure it this steel case comes with the 1 disc or 2 disc versions of the movie?

Thanks!

Why do i always kill threads when i post in them? :P

wtf is sag?

That link says 1-disc

Screen Actors Guild

Wtf, that totally defeats the purpose of a 'collector's item'. Sure it's a sweet case and i'm a sucker for those. But 1 disc? That's totally preaching to the wrong crowd.

I really doubt a casual fan of the movie who plans on buying the 1 disc edition will pay more for the sweet Steel Case. But put the 2 disc collector's edition in that Steel Case and you've got ALOT more buyers... no?
