^ $34.99 is a great price for this set, so I say grab one up. If I didn't already own the previous trilogy in the metal sleeve I'd be getting this one in a second.

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.

I saw the 1 disc version this morning. The only extra listed on the back is the theatrical trailer. This is not the first disc of the 2 Disc set with the audio commentary and all the other extras...I was hoping that it would be since I was not interested in the second disc of the 2 Disc set with the digital copy of the movie as it's only contents.

Just popped in Rambo:First Blood and the extras are as follows:
3 deleted scenes.
Sly commentary
Writer commentary
English DD 5.1
Interactive "survival" mode
Had a quick go on the "metamap", it was pretty shit! crap graphics that don't really show anything.

Otherwise, it'll just be the 2 disc Rambo for me. I'll believe (and buy) the director's cut when i see it.

This is the 3rd RAMBO set. Is the transfers of sets 1 & 2 the same and is in this one?
Or are there new transfers of the 1st three movies in this set?
How are the transfers of the first three movies?

Ordered mine from Amazon as they seem to have the best price and customer service if there's a problem with anything.
I hope the metal box and fold out digipack inside don't come beat up all to crap. I'm kind of picky when it comes to things like that. Has anybody had any problems with the packaging aside from what scott1598 mentioned above?

What I was saying was that the 2 disc of RAMBO is really more "bonusy" than the 1 disc edition. That the 2 disc version isn't just the digital copy...it's the extras and commentary, too.
the 1 disc is movie only...not even the commentary.

Some reviews say it's on there (IGN) - some do not (HTF.)
