Thanks for the heads-up on the audio track Kris, I know a lot of members here were wondering which track it would get.

I thought each film would have its own case within the slip case.

Makes them easier to sell

I dont use digital copies

I only use the PS3 exclusive ones, still need to get a bigger memory stick so I can stack all of the ones I have onto it for long trips.

Really?! That's absurd. I guess it'll work perfectly with the BB steelbook that has no space for the digital copies.

ugh... I don't like that... Looks like I'll be hitting someone up for some custom covers... was hoping for something like the X-Men Trilogy... I liked that one...

Sorry to nag, but when can we expect a review at the latest? Im still on the fence about buying these for a little more from movetyme????? They have them in stock.

Diesel · 03-19-2010, 10:16 PM

I would have preferred single cases (and didn't expect they'd come in anything else actually

), but at least it'll save shelf space like the Rocky case.

hurm · 03-19-2010, 11:29 PM

So, is DVDWorldUSA really shipping early?

bootstrapwill · 03-19-2010, 11:31 PM

apparently so. Im desperate to see some photos.

hurm · 03-19-2010, 11:33 PM

Yeah me too. It kills me to have to wait until April 6th

But are they 5.1 with ES, or are they 6.1 discrete? All Warner "6.1" releases thus far have been 5.1 with ES, which is useless to a lot of us.

Yes that is awesome news....

Kryptonic · 03-20-2010, 12:37 AM

The DVD's were 6.1 DTS-ES, so they should be discrete.

Yeh but the only Blu-ray to have 6.1 discrete so-far has been X-Men 3, all others including Terminator 2, the PIXAR movies, Warner's Harry Potter Ultimate editions, The Number 23 etc... have all been 5.1 with ES so I'm very anxious to know

Yikes!!! Way to go New Line, way to screw over us fans.

Just about every detail that comes out about this set reinforces my plan to hold off until the EE's hit blu.
