I never buy the Saw DVD's when they street, I always wait a year or so since it's patently obvious that there will be a double-dip. My only question is, will this be in a normal keepcase or another one of those stupid transparent cases with the fake blood?

Yeah, I'm hoping for a keep case (or the option for one) because I'd like to use the cover art to combine the original Saw III release. Of course, Saw II's unrated cut was in a keep case, so they might just do that and leave those custom cases as exclusives for BB or that other place.

I guess I am now going through the typical hi-def owner dilemma. I always want to see "Director's Cut" versions, but I was really planning on picking up the Blu-Ray.

Got this early and for $21 at Blockbuster tonight

Thanks for the pics! If it's that cheap, I may get it myself, I'm a sucker for gimmicky packaging.

Xage, why don't you have this already!

:)

This looks really nice!

Sabrett: That is an awesome looking set! Thank you for posting the pics!

Great looking set, but I have one question. Which version of Saw III is included? I mean, for $27.99 (or, in your case $21) you get all 3 2 disc sets. According to DVDTalk's review of the new Saw III coming out 10/23, the retail price is $26.99.

For an extra $1 I get the case, and extra copies of I and II?

ooooh Sabrett! you lady luck!!! Im droooling in envy here

whilst the trilogy pack is NICE.....

begs the question - couldn't they have waited til a Quadrilogy pack ??

The new Saw III Director's Cut is the one included in the box.

I respect the Saw series, despite all their double-dipping and re-packaging shenanigans...

Does anyone know what this is? Store exclusive?

so.. wait.. I'm confused... the new edition of the SAW III coming out on the 23rd is a dfferent longer cut than the first single disc 'unrated' edition ??

Yes, its 6 mins longer than the previous one. Not sure, the review on dvdtalk didnt give specifics on what is longer, just more gore i believe. DLB did say in an interview that the original ending showed the head being blown off and Jeff picking up the pieces saying it would be all right. Sounds good to me!

Its a 6 part story. Part V starts shooting early next year and then one more then they are done. They planed parts 3-6 ahead of time when they decided to end part 3 the way they did. Cant wait!

I just saw the Trilogy pack when it came in at work today, this will be mine come Tuesday.

It could be yours right this second for only $21 at Blockbuster Video. Get it before the powers that be at Blockbuster realize something in their system may not be right.

Nah, I will just wait come tuesday and grab it at work.

That is a concept design art.. I hope they were successful selling it with a store bidder...

Shit, they raised the price back to $27.99 at Blockbuster... dammit.

It would have been even cheaper with my employee discount :(

is that after the transaction is totaled out? the posts above indicate that the $6 off doesn't happen until the very end. let me know, because i would like to pick this up for 21.99 but i'll be passing at the higher price. thanks.

Do BBonline or Netflix rent the director's cuts or just the first version? I have the Blu-Ray, hard to justify a double dip for lower quality

Unless Lionsgate gives certain people a shitload of money to make Saw VII...and Saw VIII...and Saw IX...

...and Saw X.

Nope, it was mispriced at the POS for $19.99 when if first arrived. The price was corrected on Tuesday back to $27 bucks.

I KNEW IT! No way was Blockbuster intentionally selling this at 58% off! The price change must not have occured until afternoon of Wednesday, however, not Tuesday, since I bought mine yesterday at about 11:00 a.m. for $21.
