Bourne Trilogy: Box Set Vs Newer Flippers

[slick1ru2]

I am seriously thinking about buying myself a father's day present. From those who have seen both, differences? Thanks.

I got the UK set. Only $30 shipped from Amazon UK. I love it! Screw the flippers or the US box set!

no difference whatsoever besides
1. There being no box to hold all 3 cases
2. There being a dvd on the other side of the disc

basically it's a bunch of people been whining over no disc art and the possibility that someday maybe there possibly could be a problem with flipper discs (mostly just whining about disc art really though)

OK, I didn't know if it was a rescan or what. The review on the box set talked about a ho hum transfer, some flat contrast, etc.. Anyway, it looked like the extras were different or possibly mixed up among the 3 different flippers. I don't care about flippers, wish every movie came with them, I have a regular DVD in my van. I have the second Bourne on in HD-DVD and its a flipper.But my HD-DVD Player is laptop and its a pain. Its the thing I liked about HD-DVD, many were flippers, because at the time, not all my TVs were HD. Label art? ROFLOL

The transfers are the same. 1 looks mediocre but 2 and 3 are fine.

+1000 cheaper and no flippers! hell ya!

[slick1ru2]

OK, I found where the flipper review say the only difference is that its a flipper. Kinda tired I guess. lol

Importing is the best option financially, but if you can't/don't want to import for some reason, just go with the flippers. It's cheaper and there's no difference in disc content, except for the fact that the flippers obviously include a DVD copy as well.

well said. LOL

UK set is the popular choice..comes out to around $30 like Mrht mentioned. I personally like the us boxset but that's me. I wouldn't go near the flippers even if the new releases come with a slipcover.

This reminds me of the slip cover thread. What next? The "I like the Studio Icon On The Top vs The Bottom On The Label" debate.

So UK set extras are not SD Pal?

[slick1ru2]

OK, just saw a review on the UK version, answered my questions, going that route. Thanks.

[slick1ru2]

Cool, thought I would need to make a new account and don't. And its even cheaper when I put it in the basket.

[slick1ru2]

There is a notice that the Volcano may delay International orders. It was 28 and change with shipping. I think I found a new store, lol.

No. The movies are Region-Free and the extras are SD NTSC. So EVERYTHING will work on your US player.

All I need is "The Bourne Supremacy" and I will have the trilogy at a cheaper price, than what the box set is being sold for. I haven't had any problems playing the flip discs. I think they are asking too much (U.S.) for the set.

Edited to add: If I didn't already have 2 out of the 3 movies, I would have ordered from Amazon UK.

[slick1ru2]

Is there a section of the forum for UK bargins?
