At long last, the definitive "Blade Runner" collections...inc. FINAL CUT

18th December sees the (US, I presume) release by Warner of the ultimate in "Blade Runner" collections... on DVD, HD DVD, & Blu-ray Disc.

Two versions:

"Complete Collector's Edition" & an "Ultimate Collector's Edition".

Both will feature five versions of Ridley Scott's classic! Including the long awaited "Final Cut" :D :D

Quote:

...five different versions of the film, all freshly remastered: Ridley Scott's brand-new 'Final Cut,' featuring all-new footage and upgraded special effects; the 1992 "Director's Cut"; both the 1982 domestic Theatrical and unrated International cuts; and the long-sought after, near-mythical "Workprint" version never before released publicly.

...plus loads of bonus material.....While the "Ultimate" version will also come with a load of memorabilia.

Another HD DVD box to add to my shopping list (along with Heroes & BSG).

Nice :D

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Presumably, the fact that there is an "Ultimate Collector's Edition" means the "Complete Collector's Edition" isn't quite "Complete"?

LOL. Yeah, well, it's all marketing nonsense.

Warner did the same with the Matrix box... a "Complete" box, & a more expensive "Ultimate" box.

With Blade Runner, the main difference seems to be simply that the "Ultimate" box comes in a "special collectible 'Deckard Briefcase' ", plus has a load of memorabilia. The actual discs are the same.

Could it be that the main difference is that the "Ultimate" box is $100 and the "Complete" box is $40 :D
