Bleh....your probably right.

Id rather have this one with a background or just the autobot symbol (maybe have an alternate autobot/decepticon symbol slip cover).

Why is it 2 discs? Hot Fuzz was jammed packed with extras all on one disc. First Post!! Yeah!!

Because two discs is one disc more better than a one disc set. Therefore Transformers = more awesome than Hot Fuzz, due to having another disc.

I vehemently disagree with you on that statement.

Paramount/Dreamworks are really keen on high-def extras -- they're about the only HD DVD-supporting studios that consistently bother to do so -- so that likely has something to do with the two disc split too.

I think it could also have something to do with not wanting to have fewer discs than the DVD edition, making people think that they might be getting less in high-def.

I think he was being sarcastic in regards to the number of discs.

The studios have tried to push the perception that a 2 disc set is better than 1 disc (even though that isnt always true). They have been pretty successful at pushing that and people think they are getting a better deal.

I normally think 2 discs are better then 1 when it comes to DVDs. I should know that it isnt always the case.

Just like a DVD is better when they label it "Special Edition".

With Transformers being 2 discs, it certainly makes you wonder why they didn't include a TrueHD track, since disc 1 is just the movie and IME. I hope it gets included, similar to what happened with Superman Returns.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner :P

No TrueHD track! What the hell?

Well, DD+ isn't chopped liver.

Its not and its 1.5mbps, BUT I think its a big mistake for such a huge release to not include TrueHD.

I hope not. :(

Call me Susan but me thinks this release will offer some pretty earth shattering audio even without the TrueHD. THough, why it was apparently not included is a mystery.

Yeah, I agree...its gonna be stellar. King Kong sounded awesome to me and it was + only.

But, it would be nice to have the best available audio option.

Most people cant even tell a difference and/or do not have the equipment to utilize it. But still, it should be on there.

I think more than anything right now, it is giving people another reason to criticize the format.

Totally agree.

Hello Susan.


(is this a reference to something?)

it is, but it's too hard to explain.

Can I call you Sally instead?

I prefer Beatrice but Sally will work too.

I mis-read that as Porno and got a good chuckle.

According to an ad I've seen a couple of times on TV, this is officially the cover of the HD DVD:

However, the cover for the single disc DVD is this:

Although, acording to Amazon, that's a slipcover that goes over this:

Not a friggin slip cover. Next you'll have custom shaped packaging/cases and kinds of crazy sh!t like you do on DVD. I couldn't stand the non-uniformity in appearance due to so many Special Edition 2-disc sets that felt compelled to have some sort of eye catching (marketing) case. Anyone ever recall the Total Recal round POS cannister case?

As for the lack of a True HD or PCS track; this is so you will be forced to double dip when it's re-released next year. It will be Transformers 1.5 with DTS MS and True HD tracks.

Dont forget the IMAX version of the movie.

the imax version is six minutes longer - right? (150 minutes)

And two minutes taller.
