What's with this new 'MIB' dvd coming out soon? (1 Viewer)

[Inspector Hammer!]

I saw the commercial for it yesterday, it's a two disc edition. What's it going to have that we don't already have on the current ones?

 

[David Lambert]

A trailer for MIB2 and that's it.

Otherwise, it's supposed to be exactly like the limited edition...in a different box.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Thanks David. That really sucks, they'll have people thinking that it has more extra's and making them pay 20 bucks for a trailer!?

No thanks.

 

[Peter Kline]

They're just hoping to sell some DVD's prior to the new film. It doesn't suck if you read the box and get info from HTF!

When I first heard about this re-release, the one thing I did hear was the MIB2 trailer was on it but didn't hear of anything else. I thought then that they wouldn't just add the trailer and then put the exact same set out. Guess I was mistaken. No biggie for me, since I already have the 2 disc SE, but given that the MIB2 trailer can be had elsewhere (Anamorphic and in 5.1 DD on the Ali DVD), this just seems like a rip-off. If they just wanted to sell more DVD's, do a re-issue with a price-drop.

At least for those of us who haven't bought the two disc set yet (I almost did today), this looks to have better packaging than the solid black box.

One wonders why they couldn't just repromote the limited edition.

 

[David Lambert]

Scott, the answer is "to put the MIB2 trailer on it".

 

[Scott D S]

Of course! What was I thinking?

It's also cheaper than the LE.

For those who never picked up the LE, they just have to decide if they want to pay more for a cardboard box, or pay less for one in a sturdy plastic box.

The Deluxe Edition does not have the conceptual art one-sheet that was included with the Limited Edition. Also, the booklet is a little different.

 

[Jeremy Conrad]

There is concept art in the booklet that comes with the Deluxe Edition. I dunno if it's the same that is in the LE, I'd need to check later.

 

[rutger_s]

I was talking about a one-sheet...not the art in the booklet. The Limited Edition came with a folded "poster" with conceptual art by Rick Baker. Some of these conceptual art one-sheets were autographed by Baker and Barry Sonnenfeld.

 

[Ken Seeber]

I thought the term one-sheet referred specifically to 27-by-41 movie posters. Does it apply to the little "poster" included in the MIB LE?

 

[rutger_s]

I always used one-sheet to signify any size poster included with a DVD package. It is supposed to only mean 27x41 posters. I guess we change it to conceptual art insert...but that would be confusing...

Let's just say that the Limited Edition has two inserts and "unique" packaging. The Deluxe Edition only has a booklet.
