Cosmatos did a commentary for the original SE dvd back in 2002, so that is what's being ported over to the new disc, and the MacDonald listing is a misprint.

Yeah but they will probably not have any of the extras on the single disc so you will have to buy the two disc set.

So if you get the Blu-Ray you get that picture in picture, an extra featurette, the trailers for all the films and whatever MoLog is.
I plan to buy the Blu-Ray anyway, the digital copy is STUPID!

Does anyone know where there's a pic of the new Rambo Complete Collector's Set with set opened up to see the layout of the set? I can swear I saw one about a month ago, but can't remember where. I believe it's a foldout-type set. Anyone?

It is a fold-out set. I think DVD Active might have pics, but I'm not sure.
Edit: It looks like the new collection set is only missing a couple of extra trailers and 1 or 2 featurettes (which were mainly just montage footage). If anyone can confirm if the new set has DTS on all 3 original films then I might spring for it. It's on sale for $34.99, which is only a little more money than the $22.99 for the 2-disc set of the new film.

DVDEmpire has a pic of the back cover art for the tin set-
http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...or=1#topoftabs
Looks Awesome! Definately picking this up
Can anyone tell me if the tin set has ALL of the extras from both the Special and Ultimate Editions of the original 3 movies or does it leave some things off?

Then i'll be holding off on this also. I'll get the directors cut later on. No need to go through all of the hastle of buying the set this week and then pawning it off to get the directors cut later. I was planning on getting this dvd this week but that's on hold now. Espescially now that I know there will be another release of this dvd.

Got my complete collection tin on Saturday and it's a great set. The Rambo disc has a commentary from Sly and some docs. What is quite funny is that on the editing feature they mention that the version on the disc is the "R" rated version, and is also the editors and directors cut so you should not see another version come out! funny that! There are 4 deleted scenes, nothing amazing. But the picture and sound quality is great on this disc. I was watching it upscaled on a 50" RSP and it looked great, I really don't regret not getting the BD version.
I tried doing the digital copy thing but it wouldn't allow it, I assume because it is not released until tomorrow.

Does anyone think that $34.99 will probably be the best price for the complete collection? I just sold my crappy Ultimate edition set and was hoping to eventually get this, but I don't know if I should wait or not.
