I figured they'd be $3 or possibly $4 to cover shipping, so $5 isn't too extreme, but I am a little disappointed.

A definitely buy for me.

I wonder if they'll have new supplements for this release. I found the extras on the current DVD pretty pointless and boring.
It appears that there is one new supplement:

The Last Sequence, a new 52-minute documentary on Fellini’s lost alternate ending for 8 1/2 (available on Blu-ray edition)

Spotted The Third Man at Barnes & Noble last night sporting the new case, so hopefully my copy from Amazon (which should arrive tomorrow) will have it as well.

The cinematography in Paris, Texas should look breathtaking in HD.

Wow.

All 3 are must buys. That's a great way to start off 2010.

Holy shit, Paris Texas is one of my favorite films.

As for the replacement cases, I'd gladly pay $5 total to replace all three of mine, but I'm definitely not paying $5 each.

I'll get Che, but that is some god awful artwork. They shouldn't have made it look like the t-shirt design.

All over Paris, Texas and especially 8 1/2, great news!

Haven't decided on Che though, I've been buying all the Criterion Blu's day-and-date so far, though Monsoon Wedding & Howard's End may stop the streak, and like any other Soderbergh, this may have to be rented first.

that Paris, Texas cover is tops. Will pick that up and probably 8 1/2 at some point too, though I only watched my DVD of that 2-3 times over the years...need to just rent more.

This is definitely one of the best batches of Criterion blus so far!
I just wish they had included Rosellini's War Trilogy on blu also...

They tried to make it look like Benicio Del Toro but instead it looks like Javier Bardem. IMO, of course.

What's the deal with the replacement cases? I looked through this thread and there was mention of them but no reason.

Got my Third Man today if anyone wants to know specifics about what's shipping now. What up?

This is definitely a good batch of Criterion on Blu. Haven't seen Che, yet, so I'll probably give it a Netflix test run first. 8 1/2 is one of my favorite films, so it's a day one purchase.
