Can you?

It's in a tin.... SOLD! Shame about the hefty price tag!

Does HMV charge when you place your order, or when it ships like Amazon?

Yeah they only charge when they ship.

VAT tax free for non UK and pretty good shipping rates too... i prefer to use them over Amazon.co.uk..

I just ordered one. Thanks for the link squint.

WOW you did?! good on ya..

I hope its actually half decent, that's why i was hoping someone would be able to find a pic of it.

It's pretty pricey so i'll assume it'll be worth it!!

Thanks for the info, just placed my order, sucks having to wait an extra month or so though, but oh well.

Wish we could see a pic of this...or any idea of how "limited" it really is. For all we know, it's as limited at the Saving Private Ryan LE.

I'm definately in the minority on this one but, I really dug this flick. Yes, there were a couple of hiccups but on the whole I was thoroughly entertained. I already ordered the HK R3 version and am looking forward to comparing the two.

Does the r2 uk have a dts track ?

I assume it's this one? and its release date is March 7, 2005, 4 months to go.

It's called "Extreme Edition", maybe we can expect WMA-HD version on 2nd disc.

i don't think this is the limited edition TIN packaging . ...

No, that's the 'Extreme Edition'..... as already mentioned above

Bad news,

Just got an email from HMVUK and according to them, the set is no more:

Well there are Tins listed on other UK sites, maybe HMV had to stop selling it its on a few UK sites, like www.play.com for instance.

I checked Play.com and while I found the listing, it won't allow me to select it for purchase. Are there any other sites you could suggest? I also checked AmazonUK and they have'nt a listing either. This totally sucks.

Doesn't look like it.

Korea offers a 2-disc edition with a plethora of extras but apparently not R1. Fox did this to us with I, Robot as well. What gives? Looks like the R1 release will be not worth having when compared to other regions.

What's the status on the various regions and the various cuts of the film? Wasn't there supposed to be a director's cut which was promised to make it a watchable film?

ha, no amount of added footage can make that movie even remotely watchable. that movie had more holes in it than swiss cheese.

what about an R3 release? what would be the best release of this to get?

Superb film and more footage can only make it better, and I am opting for the HK dvd at the moment as its got it all and the extra footage version wont be about for some time it seems.

I just ended up ordering the R3 from CDWow.

Until the super dooper uncut extended version comes out that is
