Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait. Gonna be such an expensive last half of the year.

[blammo]

I'd like to get my hands on the 5-disc. I wonder how long they're gonna last. I should pro'lly order one now from Amazon.

gothamknight, why's it gonna be an expensive 2nd half of 07?
What else are you expecting to get?

[blammo]

Because of the limited number, figure I jump on the opportunity before the pre-orders were stopped and I placed my pre-order through Amazon for the 5-disc! Thanks, jspartan!

Ooooooooh...it's gonna be a loooooooong wait.....

[Bron]

Will the 5 disc briefcase edition also be available on HD or Blu-ray?

[Felix G.]

Yes, Warner Brothers is releasing the 5-disc briefcase edition in both HD and Blu-ray. However, I haven't heard a price set for them yet.

[Bron]

Ok cool. I checked Amazon and it only had the DVD for pre-order.

[gothamknight]

Blammo, along with my usual dose of movies, there's a ton of xbox 360 games coming out. Stranglehold; Bioshock; Grand Theft Auto; Halo 3 to name a few. I hear they just announced the original Star Trek series on HD-DvD with the updated FX. There's also some STar Wars pieces I've been waiting to come out.

Overall, just lots and lots of stuffs.

I'm definitely going for the 5 disc BR. I remember an austrailian site (cant remember which one) announcing prematurely the set over there and there was zero mention about it coming out over here.

[Nick August]

..The 4 dvd set is good enough for me..nice to have the other 3 versions on 1 dvd..the 5 disc will be hard to get hold of unless they make a lot of them..

[blammo]

I'm into the 5-disc strictly for the "workprint". I am ethusiastic about what's being offered in the "briefcase" as a whole, but, the "workprint" is what I'm focused on watching first.

[Nick August]

..what's so great about this workprint?..more violent or what?..

[blammo]

Actually, I could't tell ya. I have a workprint dvd of Apocalypse Now that is 5 and 1/2 hours long, so, I'm thinkin this is a longer, rough cut of the film.
Hopefully with alot more stuff cut out of the 3 other versions....

[Nick August]

...oh,I see hhmmm
