It's the blu-ray boxes that are shorter than the DVD's so it looks wider in the picture.

Why is it that we suffer the worst cover of all the world wide releases?
The normal Australian covers are nicely done.
Really pissed off at EIV's cover even more.

I see that now, I had misread up the thing as another DVD edition, rather than the blu-ray combo.

So, as I understand it, or not as the case may be, at present we have:

UK DVD - Film and 8 featurettes £10
UK Blu-Ray - 2D and 3D versions, 8 featurettes £13
Aussie Blu-Ray - Film (will this work in the UK?) and 8 featurettes, plus comic (prequel?) and what the fork is an O Ring? £35
USA Blu-Ray - 3D Film and 8 featurettes, plus digital download (will this work in the UK?) plus UV (will this work in the UK?) £13.50 + p&p
USA DVD plus digital download (will this work in the UK?) - film plus 8 featurettes £11.70 (plus postage)

So, which one do we buy?

I think I am gonna go for the US dvd if it works in the Uk.

Methinks the UK 2D/3D bluray for myself and for my dad, as well as dvd's for my siblings and mother so none of them have to pirate the fecking thing..

I'll wait - I'm going to see it in the cinema again on Friday so I'm in no deaperate hurry to get a copy. I'll probably wait to see if any territories get a special edition or steelbook (Germany is a possibility), and maybe pick up the standard UK Blu ray to tide me over when it drops to under a tenner after a few weeks.

The Aussie edition looks nice but I ain't paying all that extra for what is basically just a cardboard sleeve.

You know certain individuals will buy them all anyway..

COMMANDO FORCES · 01 January, 2013, 04:18:07 PM

This is why our beloved film didn't do the numbers, some of you are not putting the effort in. DO YOU NOT WANT A SEQUEL

Goaty · 01 January, 2013, 04:20:05 PM

I am going to buy the Blu-Ray 3D/2D at HMV on the day it out and DVD too! Dammit get it, drokkers!

I'll certainly be getting as many as possible. Being a proud film buff and head of the college film society I pride myself on hunting down foreign editions of some of my fave films. I've lost count of how many copys of the original Wicker Man I own.
