Ultimate Versus $24.99 at Best Buy

I know it's not that hot of a deal but it's $10 cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. I just went and picked up my copy with a $5 rewards certificate for $20 so I'm pleased with my purchase. I do believe this is their regular price as well and not a sale price. My copy had the price sticker of 24.99

hopefully someone will find this usefull.

Sweet deal, thanks! I also have a $5 RZ certificate burning a hole in my pocket and this will do just fine.

for those who havent experienced Ultimate Versus, its like a totally new movie, they recolored, and audio fixed the movie, and added footage, plus tons of extras. Well worth the price. B

well, when Ultimate Versus was made (with the money he was paid from godzilla, that being kitamura), it lost that "video camera" feel, and became a budgeted movie feel. You may want to keep your original for those reasons.

I'm glad I finally picked this movie up. I had wanted to get it for so long but when I heard the older 2disc version just had the second disc in a little cd sleeve inside it that kind of deterred me. But I couldn't pass this up, plus its in a sweet steelbook and now that I've seen the movie I love it.

If you don't receive yours, let me know and I'll try to get you my set that I received last week.

I'm done shopping for the week.

Grrr... Why didn't I look at this thread BEFORE buying it this morning? I guess if really wanted to, when the coupons come in, buy it again with the coupon and then return that copy with my old receipt...

Glad I decided to pass on buying the $$$ R2 (Jpn) version.

Looking forward to watching this one tonight.

Little late to the punch on this one.

This might be a stretch, but some parts make it feel like another film altogether. ... and not necessarily in a good way.

There's a different intro to Tak right in the beginning that I felt was totally dumbing down the nature of the film. And a lot of the add-ins were better left out.

The soundtrack, extras and color corrections are well enough to repurchase the film alone - if you are a fan of the first. It's a seriously kick ass package!!! ... and a side note on the color correction, they should have been consistent with it as it was only applied to a certain percentage of the film. ...which I found sort of strange.

Bottom line ... see it first before you ditch the original SE.

As a disclaimer - I'm a huge fan of the original!!!

I picked up my copy a few weeks back when HKFlix had them on sale for $21.95 w/ free shipping (it's now back up to $25.95 on their site).

Well, I never received my BB coupons so I guess it only goes out to certain reward zone members? Grrr.
