Not only is the Steelbook tempting but I would get this to see what the Video Hubbub is all about.

I caved in and ordered. Haha. I can't resist such an awesome design for a movie I love.

The pre-paid import fees is a nice touch also. Will I be safe on ridiculous clearance fees from DHL now ?

Absolutely.

Also worth noting is that Amazon will refund the difference after 60 days if what they charged you was higher than the actual amount that they pay for customs.

I got the info when I asked a while back the customer service from amazon.com through online chat so I believe it's fair to assume that it will be the same case with Amazon Japan

Wowza ........me likes....hehehe

This is the best looking version of this movie by a mile.

Let us not forget the extras:

Pony Canyon have scheduled the following bonus content so far:

Spoiler

Standard edition:





This content will be on both editions.

Limited Edition SteelBook:

So the SteelBook will also contain more extras than the US version, and presumably exclusive ones.


And an interesting other tidbit off by itself in the listing:





I think this means that there is some new video encoding method debuting for live-action films from Pony Canyon with these retail (i.e. "cell") BDs.

Unless I'm missing something, those are the same extras planned for the US edition, except for the trailers/TV spots and the interview. Personally, I'm not interested in the Japanese trailer or TV commercials for this movie (edit: maybe "home version" means the US trailer). The Japanese interview might be a good addition though.

The best version of a steelbook for this movie.

Totally agree

 

[kbr1656]

I think this has the best artwork on the steel, and I'm okay with the Japanese writing on the discs (especially since it's katakana, my favorite alphabet), but some people don't like it, and I understand.

"Home version" should indeed mean the original (U.S., in this case) trailer.

Don't forget the MGVC technology for the A/V presentation, and I fully expect the extras to be high bitrate 1080i/p also, possibly with lossless audio.

 

[Hooch]

This looks the best imo

 

[JayWhit]

I do like the look of this, but at a cost of £30, not including postage etc, I'm not sure whether to bite :-(

 

[neoz]

this should be in stock for a while, so price should come down ... man that release date is far off!

While it sucks, I'm happy as it'll give me time to harvest some black market organs to be able to pay for it.
Can't wait for this one.
