Yea, you got it. See post #102 this thread.

As mentioned in my review, the only insert included (aside from retailer exclusives, of course) is a promotional booklet for Picturehouse. In other words, you're not missing anything of importance.

After debating it, I picked up the FutureShop 2-disc version with the exclusive (slip)cover. I haven't opened it yet though.

Can anyone confirm if the actual cover art under the slipcover matches the Mike Mignola artwork on the slipcover, or is it just the regular 2-disc coverart under there?

Under the slip cover is the exact same cover as the slip.

Sweet .. it would suck if they just put the exclusive slipcover over the regular cover art. It's still no steelbook, but it'll do.

Picked up the 2-disc at the local Best Buy this afternoon. There were still 15 or so left when i grabbed mine around 2.

I checked out the Best Buy (Canada) exclusive with the bonus lithograph ... the bonus seemed very disappointing though, so I passed. It was numbered, though. Anyone know what the total production run is for these lithographs?

Also, HMV Canada has a booklet packed in with the 2-disc release. Anyone know if this is the same as the Borders exclusive booklet in the US?

That's awesome because the Mignolia art is very slick. I think I'll keep mine sealed when it arrives then.

my local BB had many copies of the 2 disc edition as well.

what's the point of keeping sealed & not enjoying the actual discs?

I just picked this up at HMV here in Canada.

I don't know if it's an HMV exclusive or anything, but they have the 2 disc of Pan's Labyrinth, which comes packaged with another Del Toro DVD called Cronos: The 10th Anniversy edition. It has a red slip around both dvds holding the package together.

2 films for 28 bucks, so it makes each one 14 bucks each. Im happy with it!

That is a question I often ask myself after reading about some of the people on here....Why buy something and not open and enjoy it? It just doesn't make any sense....

Thanks! I bought this earlier today after some hesitation as the slip wasn't in fancy embossed/shiny stock and I worried the inside cover would just be standard. I kept it sealed because of this.

I also saw the two-pack with Cronos but it was several bucks more, but if it is $28 at HMV I'll take that!

At the one I went to, there were only 2 of the 2-disc left but a lot more of the single disc. I got there around 3:30pm.

I just picked up the 2-disc at target here in long island

i'd buy it if the cover weren't soooooo bad...

oh yeah.
good reason not to buy a movie.

Anywho, today was the first time seeing Pan's Labyrinth. I liked it quite a bit.

It's a bit of a shame that the black levels weren't really solid throughout the entirety of the film. Picture is sharp, clean, looks really nice a majority of the time... but there's some instances where the black level is kinda muddy.

The 2-Disc was a pain in the butt to find (plenty of the singled discs though). I didn't have time to pick it up this morning so I was running around like a madman this afternoon trying to find one. Then again, I wasn't the only one. Anyway, I eventually got the last copy at my local CC.

Any actual photoshot of the said exclusive?

Yep, my Best Buy had plenty of 2-discs, though they seemed to have gone through the single-discs pretty well.

I spent a good long while standing in front of the copies of Pan's Labyrinth in the store, trying to figure out whether to get the 2-disc with the exclusive cover or to get the two-pack with Cronos (since they were essentially the same price, at different stores though).

If they had done a two-pack with the special edition of The Devil's Backbone, I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. But I've never seen the 10th annivesary edition of Cronos on store shelves before. Should I go and pick up the two-pack instead? Is the quality of the disc and the film substantial enough that I should forego exclusive cover art?

I just wish a dubbed version was offered. I thought the transfer was very good, but it can be tough to appreciate it when your reading.
