Isn't that the same with all of their OCs with jackets, though? I remember people being surprised by the same thing with the PET on Inception.

Nah that all fits in the protector

Do they still include the protector with those larger sets?

In this instance the PET could be squeezed into the protector but it's such a snug fit you'd risk damage/warping which feels weirdly more frustrating that it kinda sorta could work rather than just no it wasn't intended for that.

Does it? I swear I couldn't get mine in when I sold it. Guess this PET is thicker then?

Weird. Mines sitting on the shelf in the PET and in the OC protector

They did with inception. They haven't always provided protectors btw, it's only been in the last few years. I think American psycho may be the only only one with an actual "jacket" that they've released since regularly providing them.

Fair. Maybe I was overly conscious of damaging it etc as it was going out the door.

Really happy how this has turned out. Really wasn’t feeling that steelbook design but so much better in hand (which happens far too often with Manta). Lenti is excellent. Pleasantly surprised by the back. That thick black with the semi illuminated green night vision along with Ed standing in front looks sharp

Hm, that’s interesting about the disc. I wonder which video transfer they included for this release. Apparently the Italian 4k Blu-ray release one has a slightly better bitrate and details compared to the other releases.

It won't be that one. That's from Plaion, not Paramount. They're all from the same source, so the transfer is the same, but the encode has better compression management on the Italian release, which results in less macroblocking. It doesn't have atmos, though, so it's a moot point for me regardless.

OK, so which one will you sell to me (at GB price)?

But if he sells you and me one, he'll have nothing left?

It'll only take 5 years for him to ship it to you

Speaking from personal experience?
By that time, we all might be as well „gone” and not need any version... right?

Anyway, leaving the joke aside, I for one, personally consider @tha_lunatic a good fellow Ninja, and I believe that IF he would ever sell something to another Ninja fellow, for sure the experience would be nothing less than great.
But, as we all know, he (most likely, I did not do any search or investigation) will not sell what he has (as I would also not).... unless having some duplicates...
