Just a heads up but Fry's also has all 3 steelbook versions on sale for $14.99 in store. There was no mention of the bonus discs. They also have it in an amaray case with the coverart of all three actors.

wow! this movie was a hell of a lot of fun. i def. mind less with the 3 blind buys. very well done. i thought it would be more graphic given Meekay, but that was my only gripe and liked it much more than i ever thought i would. the extras were done nice as well, especially the 52 making of featurette on d1.

from what I can Miike's cut of his own film for this was possibly better I've seen all the deleted and they kinda slow the pace. 1 of 3 is the DVD version that has ALL of the deleted scenes....

I am utterly baffled by this trend. Who gives two shits about multiple packages that are just going to sit on the shelf collecting dust. Maybe I'm the weird one, I bought the Blu-Ray of this, as I do with any movie when available, b/c it's actually the PQ & audio quality that I want to spend my money on. It's movies that I love, not the piece of plastic or tin they are packaged in.
how bout keeping your frustrations about this topic to yourself already.

I'll be honest, I'm a purist film-fanatic, I love movies, I love having people over & sharing them with friends & the technology of Blu makes that even more fun, having films I love look & sound better than ever. So I am just utterly baffled why someone would not only buy 2 versions of the same movie simply for packaging that just sits & collects dust on a shelf (sweeney todd, iron man etc), and then pay the absurdly high prices of them b/c they are from other regions. And what the film-geek in me finds so disheartening is the small (or rather) large fortune you spend on packaging, rather than investing in Blu-Ray versions of the films that would provide the best audio & visual quality of a film possible, for everyone to enjoy.

I mean wow, man, I don't even know what to say to that. Sorry, next time I will remember to change my terminology & consult a thesaurus before shaing my opinions, knowing you will be checking & cross referencing them.
There are thousands of posts here criticing & making fun of things I love, & disagreeing w/ my opions. I couldn't care less, ITS THE POINT OF A FORUM. Stop crying & trying to dictate what people post, just b/c their feelings don't match up with yours.

No, it's mostly just longer conversations and more flashbacks and the like. While owning both, I would say that the new cut (and Miike cut it, not the studio) is a definite improvement, and actually makes the movie more tolerable.

my last comments were merely trying to diffuse in a humorous way and move on.

Can someone confirm that all the extras are on BD-Live? After not finding any copies of the steelbooks at Best Buy all week, I stumbled across a store with all three and I picked them up, using the 10% off coupon too. But if the extras are on BD-Live, I'll be ambivalent about sticking to the Blu-Ray instead of expanding my exclusive bonus disc collection.
