Re: James Bond Update
 

Anyone with the current versions know if anything is missing from the other movies in terms of extras (aside from Casnio Royale) of course. There was only the single-disc version of Quantum, right? So that one's the same.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Amazon shows the discs will slide into pages of a big book:

Re: James Bond Update
 

Depends if the specs are complete or not. The box set lists these as the only extras:

· DISC TWENTY TWO—Quantum of Solace (Over 1 hour of content)

o 2 Featurettes

o "Another Way to Die" Music Video

o Original Theatrical Trailers

But this is what's on the current 1 disc.

Re: James Bond Update
 

No thanks. Jewel boxes for me, please.

Re: James Bond Update
 

The newer 2 disc dvd and subsequent blu-ray of <b>Die Another Day</b> is missing the 80 minute "Inside Die Another Day" doc, multi-angle features and theatrical trailers from the first 2 disc dvd.

Re: James Bond Update
 

wow! that's a great price $124 (converted) - the blurays are region free I assume.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Here's an uplose shot of the book.

FOX is big on books, evidenced by their Alien Anthology, Star Wars and Planet of the Apes sets. Two of those came out later in individual Blu-ray plastic cases.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Doesn't that convert to just under $100 u.s.?

Re: James Bond Update
 

I don't think there's any confirmation on the region coding. I believe a few pages back someone said that they'll actually most likely be region locked.

Re: James Bond Update
 

I concur that they'll likely be locked. But I'm region-free and thusly don't care ;)

Re: James Bond Update
 

The bonus features listing is kind of generic; it doesn't give the titles of the featurettes included, etc., so it's not really possible to see if anything from the previous DVDs/BDs is being dropped (except that Casino Royale does seem to be missing items from the two-disc as pointed out).

I have every single one of the two-disc DVDs and I'm not parting with any of them until a more detailed list of extras is available (which I realize may not be until just before the set comes out). There's just an incredible archive of Bond lore on those discs (and on the BDs, for the movies that got BD release previously).

Re: James Bond Update
 

That box looks awesome! I think I'm in the minority but I love the book packaging - it just makes the collection feel more special - and if your careful their isn't really a scratching issue.

According to the guys at blu-ray.com this will be region free like the individual releases.

Re: James Bond Update
 

I love that book, sucks I have almost all of them in either DVD or blu-ray. If it ever reaches a low price point or I find it for cheap used I'll grab it. But it might not happen for a few years if at all...

Re: James Bond Update
 

I like it too. And it looks thin enough where I can easily find a place to squeeze it in - a lot easier than individual blu-cases would be.

Re: James Bond Update
 

From Bill Hunt via FB:

"UPDATE for all Bits readers following me here RE: Bond 50 BD extras - I've just heard back from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. As expected, the list posted yesterday - and included in the official press release - was simply a "marketing highlights" summary. The comprehensive list of extras on the discs in the box set is significantly longer. We'll post additional details as the studio makes them available."

Re: James Bond Update
 

Well that's good news.

Re: James Bond Update
 

*wipes sweat off brow*

Re: James Bond Update
 

Glad to hear about that!

Re: James Bond Update
 

Awesome! Good to see people who supported the several 'delayed' releases get fucked in the ass.

Thanks MGM!

Re: James Bond Update
 

of the few Fox UK discs I have, they haven't region locked them - why would this be the exception? - I don't want the book and I sure as hell don't want to pay close to two hundred bucks when the UK is 75 dollars less (give or take the conversion rate).

Re: James Bond Update
 

Looks like Amazon.com has sweetened the deal a bit with an exclusive bonus item . . .

The un-excerpted version of the poster book publishes in September and will supposedly be 304 pages. Curious to know how many pages this "excerpted" version will be . . .

.

Re: James Bond Update
 

I want it but the price tag is too much for me to let go at the moment. :(

Re: James Bond Update
 

EDIT: nevermind, re-posting stuff that's already been posted. Long ass day already. Nothing new to see here.

Re: James Bond Update
 

What will be new on the unreleased Bond movies that wasn't on the dvds?

Re: James Bond Update
 

Start reading around post #102.

Re: James Bond Update
 

On post #102 it mentions various music videos that are already on the dvds. Some might be on the R2 dvds but they aren't new.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Digital Bits just posted from Comic-Con that the Bond set will have an empty space for Skyfall. Look at MGM, actually planing ahead.

Re: James Bond Update
 

This was already announced a few months ago - the set will include Skyfall 'video blogs' as well.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Nice to see that they have the extra space for Skyfall.

Re: James Bond Update
 

So we're supposed to throw away our SKYFALL box and put the disc in here? I don't think so...and what if SKYFALL is a 2-disc release? Also seems silly since SKYFALL will certainly NOT be the final James Bond movie (and not even the final one with Daniel Craig).

Re: James Bond Update
 

Why not? I'm all for uniformity and space saving.

That could be a complication, although perhaps MGM isn't sure at this point whether Skyfall will be a two-disc set.

Obviously it won't be, but what's wrong with future-proofing, even if only for one release? If MGM didn't include a Skyfall slot, people would be bitching about the lack of a Skyfall slot.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Well you don't have to throw the Skyfall case away if you don't want obviously it's up to you. I guess it just seems like a nice option they included the space in case people do want to put their disc there. Also obviously yes the box won't be complete as long as Bond films keep being made. What do you expect them to do though keep releasing a new box every time a new film is released? At least this way the box is current through the 50th Anniversary.

Re: James Bond Update
 

This box set celebrates the first 50 years of the Bond movie franchise, which covers Dr. No to Skyfall.

Walmart saves the day,Goldeneye as an example

Hopefully all get individual releases

Re: James Bond Update
 

If the first three are released indivdually I will be all over them. If not oh well. I am not buying that box set. I refuse to have to buy Moonraker.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Nice! Bring on YOLT and OHMSS.

Re: James Bond Update
 

I hope the box art matches the other ones. :)

Re: James Bond Update
 

I don't care what the box looks like, as long as it's not a giant book containing 21 other movies.

Re: James Bond Update
 

Judging by the photos, that is exactly what it appears to be.
