There will always be a better version.
Enjoy what you have, upgrade if you want.

The Australian version was always the better version to start with as it was uncut and region ABC.
Now its even better!

What part of 'Artwork Subject To Change' didn't you understand? Here, in plain English: Temporary Artwork.

Anyway, I have the Dutch version which is also uncut. It cost a fraction of the silly prices I've seen the Australian disc going for.

I got it for free with my PS3 so iam happy but i love this movie so im confused whether i should double-dip

davcole · 07-18-2008, 01:55 PM

The one reason I would upgrade on this title would be if Sony re-released it with a 24bit audio track. I mean the 16 is pretty good but the 24 would blow our minds!

SS316SRV · 07-18-2008, 02:03 PM

"Several months later"? I bought this is march of 2007. I am not upgrading regardless of the changes. They are just following this up for the mew movie.

GeneD5 · 07-18-2008, 02:14 PM

I could care less...I'm not interested in spending double money for some extra features; the movie is what I want

Moefiz · 07-18-2008, 02:15 PM

I like the cover but not so much as to double dip.

Yeah, except the details on this 2-disc set only say Region B.

ThingontheFloor · 07-18-2008, 03:38 PM

So this is just an Australian release or what? Either way, I really prefer the original cover, that one just looks like a random screenshot with the logo pasted on it if that's really going to be it.

jceperley · 07-18-2008, 04:11 PM

One, the cover art is just temporary, basically using the first teaser poster then cutting off the release date info and the putting it into a bluray case in photoshop. I think they might use this art for whatever special edition we might get, almost certainly this fall as promo for Quantum of Solace. The date given of October 22 seems right, knowing that the blu-rays of a number catalog Bond titles are arriving that week, although the North American date, along with the other Bonds will be the day before on October 21. Can't wait, I was about to snap and buy the current blu-ray (I actually might still, considering that next week, we have a new promo at work for $19.99 blu-rays on an endcap that currently has Casino Royale on it, which I'm hoping spills over to the new one that goes up at the end of the week.

sfmarine · 07-18-2008, 04:18 PM

I got mine in a BOGO so I really won't miss ou ton much. I doubt I'll double dip though...unless we get an unrated.

It was announced in Germany as well, and thats placeholder artwork.

#Darren · 07-19-2008, 02:44 AM

May be better PQ with more space on the disk.

Havok83 · 11-30-2012, 01:34 PM

Is the CE out of print? If so is this version rare?

alexakajeff · 07-21-2008, 07:07 PM

I'm happy I didn't buy it yet.

I figure I spend enough on my Blus' already so I really hate to double-dip, but one of the extra features of the Casino Royale: Collector's Edition is the "Bond Girls are Forever" hotchickcumentary. It may be wishful thinking, but I hope that the Casino Royale: Collector's Edition will be included in one of the James Bond Blu-ray Volumes so that I won't "have to" buy it separately. Technically, I don't consider that double-dipping.

There is no release date for the US or UK so far but if Aussie is getting it we damn well should too!

I'm just hoping for a bunch of more extras, a cleaner transfer (it has been 2 years), oh and maybe a Quantum of Solace PROLOUGE!?

JonD7 · 07-20-2008, 12:32 PM

i'm holding off on buying the other version for this.
