I'm glad I went with the variant

 

[Graphic_Delusions]

Got to admit that I'm disappointed that the variant slipcover has no artwork on the back.

Got mine today. Wish it was Numbered as the other Variant editions but I will take a totally different steel without number than just a slip with number.

Side by side with Regular Ed.

I dig the chip sticker. Is it on the slip or on the plastic wrapping like Looper?

 

[danopia]

I was surprised, it's not a sticker and actually printed on the slip.

 

[cooey]

Looks awesome! Can't wait to get mine

Is the Blu-ray Disc
Video Codec
VC1 or MPEG-4 AVC

 

[cooey]

Supposedly it's the newer disc released recently in the US (so better transfer) but it only features the special edition, and doesn't include the theatrical cut.

It has the theatrical cut listed as a extra on the back of the regular slip

 

[cooey]

I know

But it's not on the disc

I took the info from BD forums from someone who has actually unsealed it and tested it in a BD player

So it appears its just the Extended Edition of the film with DTS 5.1 HD sound.

No Theatrical version or Super Extended Version, and 6.1 DTS HD like the Skynet edition.

However, having compared the two of them, the picture quality is vastly superior on this edition to the Skynet edition. To me its night a day. Detail is much higher due to the lack of DNR.

Since I prefer the Extended (Directors Cut) version, which this is, and the original 5.1 surround, this basically is the best version of the film you will see and hear. IMHO

After seeing the various in-hand pics, the regular is my fav. Looking forward to receiving it.

 

[Phantasmic]

Got some today.

And finally, if anyone wondered if Scanavo/Distributor cared about Steelbook, here's something new:

It's good to see that warning sticker on the box so we don't get the spine slashes. I don't get why they just can't put a thick piece of cardboard on top of the steelbooks so it eliminates any chance of slashes happening.

Wasn't applicable to all..just probably the lucky few. my box had a huge hole in the middle. Just got lucky steels were not damaged.

 

[benay029]

I got mine today, no warning sticker and scratches all though the sleeve. Really wish they would put some sort of packing material in with these to help protect through transit.

Any pictures of the art book to share?

[RodChester]

Looks great. Thanks so much for posting the pictures. I'm not too fond of the ad on the back cover but I can live with it.

 

[nicblue]

I think the steelbook looks very nice. I may have to pick one up in the future. I just feel like kimchi's steel is enough..

The theatrical version is definitely included in the extras. Checked the disc last night.
