Digital Bits has been strongly hinting at showing something geeky at Comic Con in July at their panel. Since Ridley Scott's DVD guy was there in 2005 I am thinking this is it. I will be there on the edge of my seat I know that.

Unless there's a conflict in scheduling, I always try to catch the Bits' DVD Producers panel. It's always fun to hear the people who actually put together a DVD talk about the process. A few years ago I even got to ask a question and, of course, I had to mention DVD Talk.
I'm hoping that Harrison might be a surprise guest at Con. With Indy4 in full swing, BR coming out in a mega DVD set and Star Wars' 30th Anniversary he would be a natural to make an appearance.

Wow, that freaked me out a little bit, I saw the title on the main page and it just said "Blade Runner DC SE coming 09". I was thinking there was another delay of some sort.

It's R4, but R1 is supposed to be getting the same set.
Disc 1 - The Final Cut (2007):
Ridley Scott’s definitive new version of his science-fiction masterpiece includes added & extended scenes, added lines and new and cleaner special effects.
Disc 2 - 3 Complete Film Versions:
‘82 U.S. Theatrical version
‘82 International Theatrical version
‘92 Director’s Cut
Disc 3 - “Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner” Documentary
Newly created documentary: Through interviews with the cast and crew, critics and colleagues, this feature-length documentary provides a mainstream-friendly yet meaningful in-depth look at Blade Runner’s literary genesis, its challenging production and controversial legacy. When all is said and done, this will be the definitive documentary on the film.
Disc 4 – Enhanced Content Bonus: (TBC)
INCEPTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to Philip K. Dick, the birth of Cyberpunk and adapting the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
PRE-PRODUCTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to script development, conceptual design and abandoned sequences.
PRODUCTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to principal photography and locations.
POST-PRODUCTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to deleted scenes, music and visual effects.
RELEASE - Featurettes and galleries devoted to marketing and reaction including Trailers, TV Spots and Promotional Featurettes
LEGACY - Featurettes and galleries devoted to the film’s resurrection and impact.
Disc 5 - Work Print Version & Enhanced Content:
Including the rarely seen Work Print version and potentially the 52 min. Channel Four (UK) documentary which was the first serious documentary created for the film.
Additionally, the set will come packaged in a limited “Blade Runner” briefcase holding the five-disc digipack with foil-enhanced and embossed slipcase. The goodies inside will include a lenticular motion image from the original feature, a collectible model spinner, an origami unicorn, a collection of photographs and a letter from Ridley Scott.

The original youtube trailer promo for the Final Cut was deleted by Warner. Here is another link that works:

Saw This in Another Thread:
Warner sees profit in pricey DVD mega-sets
HOME MEDIA EXPO: Harry Potter, others coming in Q4
By Susanne Ault -- Video Business, 7/17/2007
JULY 17 | LAS VEGAS—Summer blockbusters get a lot of the buzz in the fourth quarter on DVD, but Warner Home Video believes retail also will find deluxe box sets particularly valuable because of their relatively richer profit margins—and at the studio’s Monday night reception here, retailers agreed.
At the event for key retailers, Warner showed off 14 such DVD collections that the studio will make available for retail this fourth quarter. Since many of these multiple-disc sets are lavishly packaged and include exclusive add-ons, they carry pricing of $100 to $200 or more. Sets will include Harry Potter Years 1-5 Limited Edition Gift Set and The Gilmore Girls: The Complete Series.
.........Baker also singled out Warner’s upcoming 25th anniversary Blade Runner releases, which include four-disc and five-disc configurations, as especially critical for the studio.
Taking Blade Runner and Harry together, “this will mean $40 million in consumer sales,” estimated Baker.
Title details...........
The five-disc Blade Runner set is $78.92 and four-disc is $34.99. Blu-ray and HD DVD versions of the five-disc configuration also will be available day and date.
..........Exact street dates for Potter, Blade Runner and Gilmore Girls sets haven’t yet been specified...........
