Every WB new release is a combo pack, so it's probably a bonus disc of extras.

If it is, I guess I'll be buying it from Best Buy too and re-selling the UK Blu-Ray on Amazon.co.uk.

I read that the Best Buy Exclusive was a script-thingy.

Notice the lenticular cover change.

Another huge plus about the blu-ray is that, in the Special Features, the 5.1 Soundtrack selections from Hans Zimmer's score is in 5.1 DTS-HD!!! (I was wondering why the Special Features were on a second blu-ray disc - usually 2nd disc extras are thrown onto a DVD instead of a blu-ray). And I almost bought the CD for this film - it's a good thing I held off.

Note about the DVD that comes with it: Just "Play" and "Setup" options on the main menu - not one extra on the DVD itself.

On the Blu-ray,
There appears to be a quick, tiny audio glitch skipping sound during the music at the 2:21:27 mark during the credits at the end of the movie, right after "Edited by Lee Smith" pops up. Not a big deal but still a bit annoying. I hope someone else checks this out after receiving the bluray. I played my bluray over and over and the glitch kept repeating so I dont think it's my bluray player.


VIDEO: 4.5 (sharp, solid black levels, good colors, and just the way I remembered how it looked in the theater. I especially love how those snow scenes look on blu.)

AUDIO: 5 (just amazing sounding and demo worthy of course. I still flinched during the Mombassa chase scene when the dude bangs his head into the car window)

what the video is a '5' - given how Nolan shot some of the movie in 65mm??

FYE and Suncoast both list in their little coming attractions inserts in store that Inception will be a steelbook for the blu-ray, for a limited time. I looked through the thread and didn't see this info posted anywhere. Hopefully the US folk who want the steelbook won't have to worry as long as they have an FYE nearby.

That BD set looks great. Can't wait to see this one again.

What are trying to ask?

I'm curious to give this a second chance. I just thought it was 'good' the first time through; not the master-stroke so many made it out to be. As a huge Nolan fan I'll be adding this to my collection though irregardless.

Where did you get a copy so early from, if I may ask? I would really like to get a copy before Thanksgiving so I can watch it with the folks when I go visit.

Blu-ray.com review is up.

Re: Inception- December 7th, 2010
 
Sad to see a score of 3.5 for extras because I hoped it would be just crammed with stuff. I think I would rather have older style commentaries and not these modes like on Watchman and Cop Out. I love hearing Kevin Smith talk but I don't need him popping up in the frame to stop the film. Plus I like how they separated commentaries and had maybe the cast on one and the crew on another. I enjoy blu-rays but they seemed to think that they have to improve on somethings and stuff like commentary tracks just need to be left alone.

Target will have the combo pack for $17.99.

Fuck. Yes.

That's an incredible day-and-date price. I'm on it.

Best Buy's awesome pricing:

$18.99 - SINGLE disc
$24.99 - combo pack
$29.99 - combo pack + exclusive script

There is a single disc version on BD?

I think it's exclusive to them. There's also a 19.99 version of The Town listed on their site. Might be another one.

Similar to Walmart getting single disc 19.99 versions of Elm Street and Splice.

I don't mind it if they keep doing that. I usually opt for the combo pack, but we start seeing consistent $5 differences between the 1 disc and the version with a DVD/DC, I'll opt for the cheaper one.

Yavin 11-29-10 02:15 PM

Re: Inception- December 7th, 2010
 
I see the value of a cheaper single disc edition, when it is a 2-disc set and the 2nd disc is only a DVD and/or DC. But Inception is a 3-disc set, with the first 2 being Blu-rays. In this case, the single disc edition would be missing the meat of the extras from the 2nd Blu-ray disc.

I just got a confirmation that "Inception Limited Edition" has been shipped from UK. It said it has been shipped via Royal Mail - Is this like media mail or mail by boat or something? Because my estimated delivery time is 12/29, which seems long.

I don't care about the wait. But what I'm worried about is the damage that this might cause to the case, because a lot can happen during those time. And I don't know how it's going to be packaged, and that briefcase does seem like it can get scratched easily.
AHHHH... now I wish I would've just ordered directly from WB and pay the extra $5 when I had the chance.

I pre-ordered this in Hong Kong. I can't wait!

My thoughts exactly. It was a good movie, but definetly not ground-breaking.
