Go get a pioneer dvp-642 at walmart

You sure you're not talking about the "Philips dvp 642"?

I have the shiny Aussie extra packed tin boxed collectors edition, the only complaint I have is that the tin box isnt sized or made to fit on a shelf amongst other dvds.

That means it gets a special place of honor on a seperate shelf with a proper center spolight Calhoun.

Give me that SPECIAL E.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Ok, now I sound bitter and snarky, all my overseas Browncoats forgive me, I'm just trying to understand this.

Judging from the extras once I saw them, I suspect it was more a matter of this: Regardless of whether or not Universal currently has any plans or intentions to release another edition here in the U.S., I think it's pretty clear that the original plan was to "double-dip" in that way.

Watching "A Filmmaker's Journey" especially, I find it very difficult to believe the extras somehow were produced only for the international market.

I think it's safe to bet that the original plan was for the U.S. to get this stuff, too.

It's just anyone's guess whether or not that's still the plan.

New Zealand also has the 2 disc edition, no shiny tin though, I believe that ezydvd does that with quite a few genre movies they sell. I found the "A Filmmaker's Journey" with all sorts of Nathan tom foolery was the best of the Aussie extras and as that was on the disc one can't understand why the US release didn't have it - unless it was about the timing of the DVD release, it hit the shelves so quickly in the States perhap there wasn't time...

I would like to see another audio commentary in edition to Joss', perhaps Nathan and Joss as they obviously get on so well together and are very entertaining. Hell the more commentaries the better, more excuses to watch the film ;)

There was also a Serenity related freebie DVD included with the Australian Empire magazine which had some footage from various conventions or the fan previews, that could also be included in a SE.

In fact Universal should have shot plenty of footage of the pre-release fan previews, surely they would have wanted them taped to try to analyse if this type of marketing ploy was worth the effort... Also more cast and crew interviews please, I could listen to Nathan and co waxing lyrical until the cows come home :)
