While I think it's cool, I was disappointed to see the saw blade is cardboard, and most of them are slightly warped, causing them to not spin properly.
I stop by my Best Buy tonight...They had 3 copies left of the Collector's Edition, but I don't know, I couldn't see myself spent $27.99 for just a cardboard blade to spin around and you don't even get anything special on the disc. I might have to go by Target to see if they have any left. I have a gift card that would bring the price down to $12.99.

Re: All SAW editions

I have to say, I have high hopes for VI. The director, Kevin Greutert, is an active member of the house of jigsaw and is answering a ton of questions. He seems like a really cool dude.
He stated that saw IV-VI writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunston will definitely provide a commentary track for VI. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say.

SAW IV didnt get any special edition re-release treatment. I hope this one does...

Re: All SAW editions

So the collector's edition only has a spinning blade? There isn't a 2nd disc?

It also has a sound chip with Jigsaw's voice and saw noise. There's a special booklet too.

But no, no second disc.

Re: All SAW editions

I just purchased the collector's edition, not sure if this has been brought up, but is the collector's edition the director's cut as well?

From what I understand all editions except full screen are the director's cut.

Re: All SAW editions

thats a huge relief, I was debating on getting the regular version if this was not the director's cut.

now what about the digital copy, I purchased it at Target and it advertises with a digital copy but I see nothing about it on the case itself nor on the dvd, is this just a typo?

Re: All SAW editions

I got my collectors edition today from amazon but sadly it appears the batteries are dead, any idea on if it's possible to change it? I would send it back but it appears its not in stock any longer there.

Re: All SAW editions

That is awesome, but the music should really play 'till the low note.

I'm pretty annoyed that I could have nabbed this at Target for less. I might try to take in the ad next week and get my price adjusted retroactively, although I know if I really want it to happen, I should do it now.

As for the chronological version, I might actually say there is reason to believe that one is coming. I don't know if the plan remains the same, but pre-IV, the thought was that VI would wrap up the entire series (I'm sure this plan can be true, to an extent, whether LGF makes a VII or not). I think a lot of people who aren't really fans of the series don't follow the plot of the series as closely, and may or may not be confused seeing the movies in theaters.

If LGF really does construct a massive chronological cut, then it seems like now might theoretically be the time. I was thinking about how one would be cool, watching Saw V. I wonder how much shorter the movies would become.

Re: All SAW editions

Picked up the Unrated Director's Cut. I decided the Collector's Edition wasn't worth the extra $6 for a digital copy and the spinning saw.

I think I'm going to be alot more selective on these so called "Collector's or Special" editions. If it's a 2nd disc with some substance, then I won't mind spending the money. But, I'm going to pass on these gimmicky toys.

You passed on less than you think. No digital copy disc. The same one-disc DVD, and the spinning, gimmicky saw toy.

You might be right. The uk has had special packaging for the trilogy, quadrilogy, and now the "goreology." So next year they'll more then likely have a I-VI set.
So we might get the tape recorder packaging next year, and the uk will have even better packaging

Re: All SAW editions

For those that didn't know, the producers of the Saw series are interested in making a 3D installment. It won't be VI, but possibly VII or VIII.

Re: All SAW editions

Eh, the 3D thing is gonna get outta hand soon. As much as I love Saw, i think it should end at 6. How much more can you do? Ill take a chronological 12 hour Saw in 3D.

You're right, VI really is where it should end. And I hope the ending is at least as satisfying as the end of III.

I agree. Look how many movies have pretty much killed themselves by making too many. Halloween, Friday the 13th, Jaws...
Stop at 6 then put together a really cool set of all of them.

The "Saw" franchise, about 2 movies ago.

Re: All SAW editions

Saw is the most profitable horror franchise of all time. They certainly aren't going to stop, but I still think at VI, if it really does tie up the current arc with a big bang, the principals (Hackl, Armstrong, Greutert, etc.) are all going to take their leave.
