It is indeed a slip case with three individual cases inside.

I saw the boxset earlier at CircuitCity for 34.99 and could'nt decide whether to pick it up or not??? Is this supposed to be out already??? Also, should I get it now or wait.....?????

Just watched Stallone on Jay Leno and he said he wants to release a Directors Cut by him of Rambo. He said no offense to Lionsgate as the one now is good but he wanted to do the directors cut and give all proceeds (every cent made on it) to the Burmese people. He also said he would name the directors cut "John Rambo" as he said that was supposed to be the name of the movie anyway. Anyone know why the hell Lionsgate has named the title, "Rambo:The fight continues" for the dvd and Blu-Ray?? They just pulled this outta their asses.

Thanks. So a double dip can be expected in another 2-3 years. The German Blu-ray release by Warner says UNCUT. I hope it's the same as the U.S version and the UNCUT tag is just a publicity stunt to draw the attention of the German consumers who are used to severe censor cuts.

They've skimped slightly on the available extra features, but overall it looks like quite a nice package.

More than likely to be the case.

so is First Blood (part 1) from the box set essentially the same as the BD version previously released? I bought that disc long ago, which means I can't get the box-set and will have to purchase First Blood 2 & 3 separately...

Or give away a copy of the first... 2 and 3 are $19.99 seperate, and only $34.99 for all three. That's what I'm gonna do

The First Blood disc in the box set is identical to the one released individually a while back.

I Just Went To Circuit City Looking For Paramount Releases(To No Avail), And I Found Several Copies Of The Rambo Boxset And Rambo 2 & 3 Stocked Out On The Shelf. The Boxset Was Only $35 So I Figured I Would Pick It Up And Cancel My Amazon Pre-Order. I Go Get In Line And Wait Like 15 ****in Minutes To Check Out, And When I Do Go To Check Out The Lady Ringing Me Up Says She Has To Speak To Her Manager About The Boxset. She Leaves And Comes Back Like 10 Minutes Later Saying There Is No Way Possible She Can Sell Me The Boxset. I Explain To Her That If It Is On The Shelf She Has To Sell It To Me. She Disappears Again And Come Backs W/Her Manager. He Explains To Me That The Movie Doesn't Come Out Til The 27th And That He Can't Sell It To Me. I Tell Him The Same Thing I Told The Cashier, That The Movie Was On The Shelf And That He Has To Sell It To Me. Then The Manager Says, "This Wasn't On The Shelf." Flabbergasted I Respond With, "Bull ****in Shit, I Will Show You The Other Copies On The Shelf." The Manager Then Says This, "Sir, I Am Gonna Have To Ask You To Leave." Speechless I Leave The Store. Moral Of The Story Is **** Circuit City.

I Did Manage To Take A Pic Of The Boxset With My Phone.

The moral of the story is that they don't have to sell you anything, especially when it can get them fined 5 figures by the distributor for doing so.

If This Had Happened To You, You Wouldn't Be A Little Distasteful Towards CC Wicky?

I'll Smoke To That

[wormraper]

McHairy21; which store did you go to ?? the one on Oracle and Wetmore or the Broadway one???? the one at Oracle and Wetmore are horrible when it comes to their service like that. It's actually how I get BB to pricematch them so often when I go in cuz of their rep for shit service.

Just think yourself how those employees will be working in fast food after CC closes down. That should bring a to your face.

Nothing can make me feel distasteful for I had a opposite event occur that makeas me blind to all bad things they do.

Where a top executive righted all wrongs in my eyes and washed all sin away from the company.

See I never saw it like that, Amazon always had higher prices on items and goods and very high shipping and handling with the normal sales tax, to me it was like digging a hole and throwing money in and pouring gasoline and lighting it on fire and yell im saving money...

Of course I live in Texas and gas is cheaper here compared to everywhere else.

Of course im also bented since amazon has never actually shipped any of the items I or any members of my family ever ordered from them, and instead issued us sheets of paper to make us feel beter perhaps to dry to the tears...

Which I admit has festered into a pure hatred... so maybe its best to ignore what I said then... since every time I read the word amazon my eyes burn with rage.

[supersix4]

god these movies are cheap I paid 19.99 for the dvd boxset of 3 and now I can get the blu-ray one for 34-39
