Well, I saw a copy out early yesterday at Best Buy and the slipcover was the one pictured in the ad and the cover was the one everybody else was selling. Maybe the slipcover was the exclusive. The copy I saw, as mentioned previously, had only the two extras listed.
What gives!?!

I don't even understand the point of a slipcover.

The two extras are the only ones on the disc -- what happened to the older featurettes? I didn't watch the features though, I suppose if they're stellar it makes no difference. Still it seems like kind of a weak SE.

Sid Vicious would have said bullocks to these slip cover gimmicks. 
Well, he would had he not been a part of The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.

Um.....talk of slipcovers and fluff aside, can anybody comment on the transfer? How's the PQ....the AQ....you know, the stuff that matters?.....or is this the same transfer as the bare bones edition.
Thanks.
Thanks.

So does anyone know what is on this new release? The Best Buy web site listing has different features/featurettes from the listing on the back of the DVD package. How long are the featurettes? Are they any good? How is picture/sound quality? Will this release be widely available in the future? (not even listed on Amazon or BN.com)

If so, that's the old MGM release...

The old MGM release was barebones. The new release, which I've only ever seen at Best Buy, has two features: "For the Love of Punk" and "Junk Love".
I'm not sure what will show up should this disc ever appear elsewhere.
Has anybody seen it anywhere other than Best Buy yet? Keep in mind that the new cover (under the slipcase) just very much like the old cover.

Any A/V reviews? I don't care so much about the extras given that the Criterion disc is loaded with amazing ones (much better than those featurettes described above), but I'd love to pick it up if it's a spanking new, anamorphic transfer!
