In fairness, it's one of the best looking Blu-rays I've ever seen, so it can be done on one disc at least!

How come there wasn't a Blu ray/DVD combo pack for this film in the UK? I've ordered the US version of the film for that exact reason, splitting the cost with a friend who has a region-free dvd player. Once again the UK get's ripped off. Not a happy consumer...

I hear you, Whelk ... but on the other hand, I've ordered my copy from the UK specifically because there's no extra DVD disc that I'm never going to play. (The releases here in Australia match the US ones, and it's annoying having three discs when you're only ever going to take one of them out of the case.)

Swings and roundabouts, I suppose.

One of the HMV stores on Twitter posted a photo of the 3D pack - it'll be £15.99 instore!
