Why is everyone so surprised, saying they've never been more blindsided by a release? People were clammoring to get the four commentaries from the UK version released here... do you think they weren't going to eventually release something like this?

A three disc DVD version and a two-disc, non combo HD DVD version would've been perfect.

I'm actually pretty happy this was announced so soon after the initial DVD release, because I also held off knowing there was going to be a more fully-loaded release further down the line. Yippee says I.

I'm sure the stink that was caused over the Wal-Mart 2-Disc version played heavily on Universal's decision to release a 3-Disc edition. They realized a LOT of people went out of their way to get the Wal-Mart version and saw dollar signs.
Still, a 3-DISC release was the farthest thing from my mind. When you say Hot Fuzz....I don't readily think "That needs a 3-Disc release!". Especially when the UK version is packed to the gills. I guess Universal wants to make sure that everyone who tracked down the Wal-Mart release or the R2 edition will feel that they're still missing content and get this one too.
I picked up the UK edition from CD-Wow when it first came out so I skipped the Wal-Mart fiasco. If that 3rd disc is packed and not just a 20 minute fluff piece, I'm getting this.

What are the video blogs?
Does anyone know the specifics of what the video blogs are? I remember the website had video blogs from the comic con but the R2 dvd did not have these video blogs. I'm only concerned because I was in one of them and was damn pissed to see them not included! Yes I'm being vein I want to be on the damn dvd. Also is this new release being released only in Standard form or again in HD as well?

I cant help but laugh after seeing that, what 100 page crying fest? To get that walmart set. It does suck and further proves why Universal is pure shit; I despise them so much and I'm now making a thread on it.
I'll get the 3 disc set down the line.

I got the Fullscreen Wal-Mart and a widescreen to go with it, and the UK R2 version.
I'll still be getting this when it comes out. but we still need a good 2 discer of Shaun of the Dead.

Kind of a surprise announcement mainly because of how soon after the original release came out and the whole Walmart fiasco. Also, seeing how much time I spent tracking down the bonus disc at several Walmarts to no avail, debating whether to purchase the HD version (I didn't) and then finally having to order the widescreen version with bonus disc from Walmart online, I'll await reviews first before committing to this 3 disc set.

I'm happy with my HD-dvd of Hot Fuzz - it has everything except for the blogs and the extended Rally (which didn't really need extending), and since this new 3-disc can't improve on the HD's video/audio, I'd have to be retarded to buy it.

Well lets see....
I bought the UK 2-Discer because there were reports the HD-DVD would NOT have the features. Then I bought the HD-DVD,because I could then have it on both R1 DVD and HD-DVD. Now this. I have to freaking buy it because its my FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. But this is total bullshit. Luckily there is Christmas......

Good thing Best Buy was sold out of Shaun of the Dead when they were doing the 2 for $20 deal, because I got a rain check and they never got it in. Now I'm just going to get this and maybe buy SotD separately.

this is very depressing news. even when i saw the thread title, i was confused/surprised. first and foremost, this movie didn't seem like the type to get a double-dip to me, especially since they haven't yet done one for shaun of the dead. and what was the point of partnering up with wal-mart for the exclusive bonus disc if they were just going to release all those extras later on?
don't know if i'll double-dip on this... probably wait until it drops to $9.99 in a year and a half or so (just like the king kong 3-disc did) but i can deal without the extra commentaries and video blogs... for now.
