Heh, Del Toro probably didn't have this problem with The Devil's Backbone. :lol:

Probably tonight.

I have Target ready to go and Pan's Labyrinth 2 DVD Platinum Edition is $22.99 there. The theatrical version is $16.99.

It's pretty normal until---

is there any special bonus for the 2 disc-er? Like a steelbook from Best Buy?

He usually gets the BB ads on the following monday... hoping there is a special somehwere though. Steelbook would be nice or a 3 disk special.

they are probably not going to do the steelbook at best buy because it is not on the website and the movie comes out in a little under two weeks

No.

There is still time. The information that Best Buy would release The Departed as a steelbook did not become known until 9 days before the street date.

i don't thin that is accurate. i remember seeing the ad on website for steelbook Departed a lot longer than 9 days prior to release. at first there was no pic, but the descrip confirmed.

The first confirmation of The Departed Steelbook, ie. the first time it appeared on Best Buy's website, that I can find on DVDTalk is 2/4/07.

It was re-confirmed by Speedy with the ad the next day.

close but no he ...

:hscratch:

Ugh, since prices are that high, I wonder if I can wait for a high-def version to come out.

I believe whotony is correct.

Vidal was a Captain, not a General.

I don't know how I forgot that.

Bump. :up:

So, what all exclusives are we working with here?

None from the usual sources.

Futureshop has a steelbook tho.

I want that steelbook.

Why won't these clowns ship to USA?

Borders is offering a lame 16-page booklet.

Hmm, lame as it might be, it's something. Actually, the little booklet doesn't look half bad.

Also, gauging by Borders' Website (scroll to bottom of "coupons"), it'll be at $22.99. Hey, that's not too shabby for anyone who has some Borders Rewards bucks gathering dust.

It does look good, and if this is the best there is I may have to get it!

Is that a Steelbook or just an "exclusive cover"? The other steelbooks on futureshop.ca say "Futureshop exclusive steel case" or "Special steel case" or something to that effect. Granted, steelbook or no, it's an awesome cover and the version I'll be ordering.

it does look like a nice booklet, but I think I'll pass. I got mine for 16.50 from WHV and it came yesterday. Wha-eva

I was at Costco (Sacramento) today and they had it for $20.99.

Is anyone offering a special packaging for this that will work in the US?? I really liked this movie and want to get something nice.

If anyone's interested, I'm currently digging through the 2-Disc edition and will be posting my review over the weekend. Long story short, though: it's a really well-rounded release and worth picking up! :up:

And here I was looking forward to your long winded review, now what's the point?

Pretty screen captures, of course!

Ohhhh, purty!

take the discs out and throw the rest away. the region 3 set is the best. which you of course already own right??? shame the extras were naff and the image colour was a bit too red.

a very average film though. a few nice ideas and it looks nice but not half as good as some people liked to think.

Speedy has the BB and CC ads up. It looks like no exclusives from B&M retailers at all other than Borders.

I bought the R3 set for the amazing packaging. I've been lucky not to experience the warping of the package that so many others have mentioned. I'll probably pick up the 2 disc R1 too, just so that I can have some extras in English.

This was an incredible movie, and I can't wait to watch it again.

only problem with the Futureshop release will be the bilingual packaging...it will be ugly!

Canadian? That is to say, the bilingualism will be French/English and not Spanish/English?

yes, it will be French and English on the spine of the movie, so you'll get Pan's Labyrinth and Le Labyrinthe de Pan written on the side

Neither of which are the original title. Have R3, will just get R1 2 disc.

This is from the speedy's target thread. It looks like target is getting a sketchbook too...

The sketchbook that is mentioned in the Target ad is a special feature that is on the 2-disc already. So target is not getting anything exclusive. They just make it seem that way.

I am really surprised there isn't going to be a steelbook at Best Buy.....

I'm bummed there is no steelbook at BB :(
