I finally got to see DK in Hong Kong after champing at the bit for a month up in north China. I might be able to see the IMAX version there before I leave. if not I will catch it at home where I expect it to play for months.
Excited about the Blu Ray and it will probably encourage a new TV purchase.
What about doing seamless branching for the IMAX scenes? Having a choice seems the best method to me.

You try acting in an emotional or romantic scene when there's a camera as loud as a lawnmover six inches from your face.

The Digital Bits mentioned in their rumor mill that TDK BD will have 2 releases: 3-disc set and a limited edition version. I'm glad the extras will be on their own disc. I'm sure the 3rd disc is the ultra cool digital copy.

I'd love me a limited edition. Especially if it's like the limited edition DVD that will feature a Batpod scale replica.
Now if the limited edition is just a third disc with a digital copy of the film, count me out.

It sounds as though the standard release is the 3-disc version, which most likely contains the digital version.

Ah. I missread your earlier post. Sorry. Well, here's hoping they don't jack up the price for something only some will use.

For the record, I'm betting the US version will be identical, but lately WB has been making itself far too easy a target for [totally justifiable] criticism/suspicion.
