Perhaps you should go for the cheaper set, then use the money you saved to go towards this instead:

Prometheus Blu-ray Bonus Ties In To Blade Runner Universe
Included in the UK release of Prometheus is some kind of text supplement that nods toward Ridley Scott’s other big sci-fi favourite, Blade Runner. It’s a nice bit of fan service, but I don’t think we should get ahead of ourselves and expect Alien-verse tie ins when the Runner spin-off comes along.
So Weyland’s mentor was Eldon Tyrell? Okay. He was in this more or less meaningless bit of ancillary who-knows-what anyway.
Well, if nothing else this reminds us how many of the same ideas are chewed over in both of Scott’s sci-fi worlds.
Thanks to Live For Film and Reddit for the image.

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12
So do we have an official list of extras for the US BR yet?

Went by BB today and traded in some DVD's for the $5 Coupon. While there grabbed Underworld Awakening 3D for $13.00 using one coupon and used another for the Prometheus 3D pre-ordered. I'm not taking chances.

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12
I pre-ordered from BB a couple of weeks ago and got the code card to download it to my PS3. When they took my reservation, I asked for the non-3D. However, at that time they had not released the full list of extras. It appears if I want the extras I have to get the version that has the 3D disc regardless of whether or not I want it. Will they let me apply my reservation $$ towards the big version instead without much hassle?

I thought Underworld Awakening 3D was on sale for $19.99. Shouldn't it have been $15 with the U&S coupon?

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12
I noticed that the specs say 2.40:1 aspect ratio. It's not going to switch back and forth to 1.78:1 for the 3D scenes like Tron Legacy did? I think Avenegers was 1.78:1 for the whole movie.

Prometheus was projected at 2.35:1 in most theaters, but was opened up to 2:1 in MAX theaters. In either case, the ratio is constant throughout the entire movie. It did not alternate ratios from scene to scene like The Dark Knight or Tron Legacy.

I watched the first 20 minutes or so yesterday and the picture in the opening sequence looked amazing.
The 7.1 was very emersive.

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12
The true IMAX screens showed it in 1.66:1. A shame we don't get that option for the BD...at least a 1.78:1 ala Avatar would be nice.

I teach college; got a laugh today while overhearing some students talking about Prometheus.
"Yeah, I saw that," one of them said. "It's a prequel to Alien vs. Predator."

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12
Any advice on if my request to put my reservation $$$ toward a more expensive version will work?

However, now that you say that, an extended cut does sound likely and gives me pause!

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12
Considering this release has 37 minutes of deleted scenes, I doubt we'll see another release sactioned by Ridley Scott. If he wanted those 37 minutes in the film, he could have put them back in.
