This is just going to be disappointing flat, matte cardboard right?

Its not like Secondsight give their editions any special finishes on the card or anything.

Yeah. Look at the pics. It looks so disappointing. And the movie is bad. So what's the point ? Rather have few coasters and such right ? Why fu....g complain when we have pretty cool release in our hands. AND there are myriad of same film already released in premium. Like from Manta. Why not enjoy ? Jeez !

Sexy. Will def be buying

With embossed something that would not be "any old sh1te" ?

Have you actually checked the specs ? SS IS actually providing _hell of a lot_ new stuff with this release, but as it's not bling-bling and you must be able to read it's not for you - I guess. Hmmm ....

(Again) Jeez !

Considering the 4K on its own is £25 I personally don't think the extras (which are primarily cardboard) on offer here aren't worth an extra £30....

But that's just me. Jeez!

If any of you feel you need to spend yet more cash on Drive merch, my good buddy just dropped these new pins...

[Space Cadet]

Some of us do appreciate written word.

 

[komor]

Strange release - everyhing seems to be housed in a gigantic slipcover.

 

[Flloydo]

Oh wait, will this just be the bigger box release? I thought I understood it that there will also be the normal box sized editions but I think I might of got that wrong now. Seeing as there’s only links for the box set and standard blu Ray and 4K

Maybe I will go for this edition then. I’ll have a little wait to see if it pops anywhere else first

Just ignore him. He’s seems to be having weird outbursts to himself In here because you’re not liking something he does

 

[Flloydo]

I watched Neon Demon again the other night and I’d love second sight to tackle that too

Yep. _I'M_ having "having weird outbursts" ...

The new commentary is also on the standard 4K release, so not an exclusive to the larger set.
The Drive novel can be bought for 8.99 currently, I paid €5 for it when the movie came out. (And it’s only 158 pages long.)
So 24.99 for the standard UHD, 8.99 for the novel. Meaning the 240 page pictures & essays book is costing £20 on its own.

I’m all for these bigger editions when they’re warranted (and I’ll be buying this because I love Drive) but this is vastly overpriced, especially when you look at how it stacks up to The Witch set. There’s not even a second cut of the movie exclusive to the bigger set, even a black & white cut.

 

[JGCramp]

I’m torn on this one. The special edition will probably be great since Second Sight puts out good stuff. But I already have the Manta steelbook and not sure I want to spend the money on another bigger box edition that takes up space on my shelf. Maybe I’ll just get the regular version and stick the disc in my steelbook.

 

[Flloydo]

So just to confirm. Will this release only be the bigger box set or will there be a smaller hard slip case like their other releases?

I do really like the art on this. Looks lovely but I’d rather something a bit smaller I suppose

Here in Finland you cannot get the novel for that price. But I get you. I appreciate the work etc. they put in this.

Aaaaand no one is forced to buy. I feel like it's my money's worth so ...

Cheers !
