No idea. Here's some additional pics. Not great pics, but you get a different perspective.

I have the worst problem with Blu-ray.com. I've made like two accounts and every time I try to sign back in I can't. Don't understand it. Sorry for going off topic, haha.

The standard UK set is £77.08 when you get to the checkout (even though it shows £92.50 on the main page). It's been that way for a while and still is.

The LE goes down as well to £83.33

The DVDTalk review, which does a good job at finding a good balance between pointing out the faults and merits of the set.

Fry's seems to have the set for $177, not quite as low as the UK set, but easily the lowest I've seen for the US set.

Yes, I'm getting the limited...it wasn't just about saving money for me, it was about getting that really good looking set (and saving money!).

The fact that for my money the UK Limited set is just better in terms of it's size, imagery, etc? Yeah. That's a steal. While the US one is thievery for what they're asking for.

Anyone here with the US edition? Can you confirm that the mono tracks for Vertigo and Psycho aren't DTS-HD tracks?

Thanks! The DVDTalk review alluded to DTS-HD and I got worried my Canadian set got different discs.

My Amazon UK special edition shipped but it was sent DHL Global instead of Royal Mail which is how everything else I ever ordered from them was shipped.
Not too happy as everything I ordered that used Royal Mail had a one week estimated arrival date from day shipped. DHL Global's estimated arrival date is November 30. Ouch. DHL does have tracking which I don't believe Royal Mail had to the US. I think DHL must place the order in a bottle and float it across the Atlantic.

That's the only bad thing about ordering bigger sets from the UK - if it exceeds a certain size they won't use Royal Mail apparently.

Same here, except my estimated arrival is December 10. How can it possibly take a damn month?
