Wondering if this is a Steelbook set or not like the German Amazon one....

I doubt it, but it certainly has the same cover, and comes with the book...

No SteelBooks, it's a DigiPak. It's a wide release. JB has it on their site with additional images:

very surprised this release isn't getting the steelbook treatment, can't be bothered buying the digipack!

My local video shop (Mount Annan Blockbuster) was putting out the DVD and Blu Rays on the shelf.
Had one Blu ray for sale $42. I kind of scoffed and said "Thanks anyway"
Shall wait for JB Hi Fi or Big W Price.

Big W have the trilogy with book for $44

Why do all the other countries have a 2-disc blu ray (excluding dvd copy), yet Australia is only getting a 1-Disc Blu-Ray?

I picked my copy up today from my local video store and it's 1-Disc + DVD copy.

I checked at JB HI-FI and theirs was 1 Blu Ray + 1 DVD also. What the hell? Am I missing something?

To answer question above, I asked JB and they said they're selling for $24.98.

I got mine today at the videostore for $17.95! The video store keeps the DVD copy to rent out, and sells the brand new blu-ray with it's original case for cheap.

And who would ever watch a visual spectacular like TDKR with the DVD copy anyway??

The local release is a 3 disc set, 2 Blu-ray discs (Film+Special Features) and 1 DVD disc. There is a paper insert which covers the 3rd disc inside the case.

Someone tell me which subtitle include?

[steady_eddy91]

Fair enough. Perhaps the video store gets it cheaper for not buying with special features or something. I also presumed from JB HIFI's listing of the special features being less than is listed on the blu-ray.com site

Oh, sometimes that happens with the video store versions. (They sometimes even have different cover art)

I for one, have never seen the 1-disc BD of Inception in stores, but that's the version my local Video Ezy was renting out.

I wanted to get a Trilogy box set, but already have the previous 2 movies, I will be getting the blu ray and dvd version from bigw for $24.82, cheapest I have seen.

Thanks for that. I assumed it was a Sanity exclusive thus didnt look anywhere else..

[Blueherring]

Is anyone buying the JB set with the 2 figurines?
Looks cool but an extra $25 doesnt seem worth it for 2 figures, i wonder what they look like in real life?

I think ill just get the standard release from bigw, I already have the other 2 movies on blu and i already have all the books for the movies, these are all excellent if anyone is interested:

I doubt it's much different from what you'll find in Toy "R" Us or any of the Batman figures in the Boys' Toys section. The figurines that come with home video releases just doesn't look that great most of the time, so I'm sticking with Big W.

They would've had a better chance of doing a decent job with the figurine had they gone with a Bat-vehicle instead of a character in my opinion.

I was going to pick it up today, but it's pouring down hard with thunderstorms over here at the moment! Hopefully it clears up a bit later on.

I've already bought the previous 2 movies 3 times incl. the DVDs before I had a BD player, so can't bring myself to buy the Trilogy set until the day they do a new transfer for BB.

While we're on the topic of film related books, I'd recommend Nolan Batman fans to check out the graphic novels 'Arkham Asylum', 'Batman: Year One', and 'The Long Halloween' if you haven't already, and you can really see which books Nolan drew his inspiration from.

Picked up the Cowl edition at JB today, my local store had 3 copies.
