I don't have my 3 disc set handy, so can't confirm if all these features were ported over..

For the Bestbuy exclusive disc, was there a feature that wasn't included in the single or triple disc edition?

Wasn't the 3 disc version just a bunch of class Universal films?

The 3 Disc was a 2 Disc special edition with the third disc being a classic monsters collection (Frankenstein, Dracula & Wolfman).

I would be psyched about this if the movie didn't suck so much.

damn that`s bad news!
what a dumb move by universal! even the single disc edition came with a slipsleeve! what`s the incentive to buy the collector`s edition then??
so i guess the 2disc director`s cut of fearless, which is released the same day won`t have a slipcover either?!

The cover art for the new edition is about 100 times better than the old one

well canīt argue about tastes, but the first edition`s slipcover silver foil rocks. it sucks big time that they are too cheap ass to throw in a slipsleeve for a 2disc, so called "collectors edition"!!

You really think this goofy looking cover:



is better than this one, regardless of having a slipcase or not:



In any case, this movie is one of my guilty pleasures. But i'm not sure if I will double dip. If it had the Van Helsing animated "movie" that came out when the movie did, then I would. I don't know why they didn't include that. I think all they did was take the 3 disc set and remove the disc with the classic movies. the 2nd disc in this new set is identical to the bonus disc in that old set.

I wish it was on Blu-Ray. And yeah, it looks like the 3-disc set minus the third disc.

is it definite now that there will not be a slipsleeve for the collector`s edition, or has anybody seen a copy with slipsleeve?
although offtopic, same question regarding the fearless director`s cut?!

similar cover to the UK quad-fold in a box 2 disc edition. Except they forgot the insert.
Man, that Hugh Jackman is a Klutz! (watch the extras)
