I have that steelbook. It has about an hour of interviews and extra behind the scenes that aren't on the US release.

Out of 4 Walmarts near my place, only one carries the exclusive Trilogy , also added in the image below were the T.W.E.C. Film Cell offer (which similar to Bestbuy's SAW IV Exclusive back in Feb.) and the SAW V DVD EPK

SAW V DVDetails

Lionsgate Home Entertainment sent along the cover art seen below for its DVD release of SAW V

SAW V will be available on DVD in rated fullscreen and unrated widescreen versions, plus the limited Collector’s Edition seen here, with special packaging similar to the series’ previous installment. The rated disc will come with just the theatrical trailer, while the unrated will be fully loaded with:

• Audio commentary by director David Hackl and 1st assistant director Steve Webb

• Audio commentary by producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules and executive producers Peter Block and Jason Constantine

• The Pendulum Trap featurette

• The Cube Trap featurette

• The Coffin Trap featurette

• The Fatal Five featurette

• Slicing the Cube: Editing the Cube Trap featurette

• Theatrical trailer


There will also be a Blu-ray release with all those extras, plus a second disc containing a standard-definition copy of the movie. Retail price is $29.95 for the DVD, $39.99 for the Blu-ray.

Oh yes, the collectors edition will be mine. Thanks for the pic! Cant wait for Jan. Now only if we could get our 2 disc version of IV :(

yeah.. having the buzz saw - saw v packaging looks awesome!

I wanna get 1-3 on BD, but I realized that 1 & 3 arn't the same as the 2-disc DVD editions. Saw 2 however, IS the uncut version. So whats up with that?

Because Lionsgate (along with all of the other studios) had no idea how to initially embrace the format.

Saw V Exclusives?
 

Has anyone heard of any exclusives for the release of "Saw V"?

Wait another week.

Re: All SAW editions
 

I cannot believe the lack of exclusives for "Saw V' next week. Especially from Best Buy. Only a measly keychain from Circuit City! I'm sure overseas will have some kind a cool exclusives!

Is the Collector's Edition 1 or 2 disc? Anyone know? I've heard 2 disc but all the e-tailers are showing 1 disc.

Re: All SAW editions
 

It's 1 disc. The BD is 2 discs, but doesn't include any special features not on the CE.

Re: All SAW editions
 

Thaks for the clarification. Looks like a double dip in the future then. Probably when the next installment comes out in October '09.

Re: All SAW editions
 

I guess on the commentary for V, they mention releasing a chronological cut of all of the films "as early as next year." The comentary was recorded in 08, so I guess it means 09. I won't hold my breath for that release anytime soon.

Re: All SAW editions
 

Chronological cut? Does that mean you'll be watching III and IV at the same time?

Re: All SAW editions
 

Yeah I don't know how a chronological cut would even work. At least on Blu-ray they could include a picture-in-picture option that would allow you to alternate from one on-going action to another.

Re: All SAW editions
 

I thought at one point there was talk about another "extended" cut of Saw IV, I think it was mentioned in the commentary track of said disc?

Re: All SAW editions
 

You are correct, and we have yet to see that. That's why I'm not holding my breath for the chronological cut.

Re: All SAW editions
 

I don't know how I feel about a chronological cut of the movie, kinda takes all the fun out of watching the series (ending each one on a twist)

Re: All SAW editions
 

My CE just shipped from Amazon. Interestingly, it appears that it is sold out and Amazon is not taking orders for it at this time.

Re: All SAW editions
 

Got just the regular unrated edition today of Saw V. The CE with spinning blade was neat but way too thick for my shelf. Plus half of them that i pressed the button on at BB werent working or the blade was pressing against the front of the pacaking and making a scraping noise.

Re: All SAW editions
 

Sorry if this belongs elsewhere, but I had a problem price-matching Saw V today. Best Buy and Wal-Mart both denied me, with the former claiming that Circuit City was closing. And Circuit City wouldn't even honor their own ad due to that same reason. So I ended up getting the 1-disc unrated version at WalMart for $20, then got home and remembered I had another store's ad with the same $14.99 price.

Does WalMart price-match after a purchase with a reciept like Best Buy does? I've already opened it, so that's about the only option I have left now. :(

Re: All SAW editions
 

Just got my copy of Saw V - Collector's Edition from Best Buy. This is so NEAT!! What a nice touch to my Saw collection. I just wish there was blood squirting out on the blade to give it a better effect.Oh well. Maybe next time, Lionsgate. :-)

Re: All SAW editions
 

It's a damn shame that they couldn't release the special edition on Blu-Ray too. I really love the case but i'm not paying an extra $28 for it. I'll never even use the DVD version.

Re: All SAW editions
 

It is a shame that over 90% of the time Blu-Ray is left out when it comes to the cool stuff. They need to push the exclusives with Blu-Ray unless you consider getting the digital copy a bonus.

Re: All SAW editions
 

Your right about that. But had to get the buzz saw package. I couldn't pass this up.
