And a $55 price tag isn't bad at all for a limited (or otherwise) five disc set anywhere, especially for such a classic film. Some LEs for that price point don't come with nearly as much media as you'll be getting with the briefcase release. I'm as giddy as a little school girl just to be able to own all available cuts and the 3+ hour documentary. It only took 10+ years to get here.
Yeah, the briefcase is a little gimmicky, but hey, I'm over it. Pre-ordered the first day it was up on amazon.

And put me down for a briefcase please.

That ain't the case with Blade Runner briefcase set, which offers an exclusive disc (with, it's important to note, substantial content) that you can't get anywhere else without forking over money to pay for a fake, oversized briefcase filled with some silly toys (or "collectibles" or whatever the hell you want to call it). And I think that is what's pissing off people (at least in my case).

Um...actually, I think the HD price of $26 (whatever, $27. something) is wrong.
You'll note that the Blu-Ray is $70 (discounted from a $100 SRP).
So us SD people are actually getting a good deal with the $55 (I guess).

With all those "collectible" junks included in these Briefcase editions, I can just see an endless DVDTalk thread of postings by folks who receive their package with one item or another missing.

Wait...one more question guys.
You know how sometimes the HD-DVDs are combo (playable on both HD and SD players), what if the Blade Runner 5-Disc was the same thing and all of us SD people who don't want to the suitcase could just buy that?

They don't always do it so it's fair to wait, but most of their new big titles do get it, so here's hoping. We should find out soon enough (when the artwork is announced). And if it really is a combo, hell f-in yeah!

What if it's only the new cut in HD and the other 4 discs are all sd..?
Could happen..
they must know they could charge alot more than this for 5 HD discs!
The WB title "The Departed" lists for $34.95, the HDdvd combo for $39.95 and that's for ONE disc...!
Something is awry. Either the price IS totally wrong and will be more like $59.99 list or I'll bet that most of these discs will be SD, like in The Matrix ultimate collection where all the extras were SD.
and there is no single disc BD or HDdvd version All the specs and different versions are up. BD and HDdvd either get a 5 disc set or 5 disc plus briefcase.

Sure, it's not a "new" movie, but a tremendous amount of work went into creating the "Final Cut" and putting together the big documentary and all the special features. Either it's mispriced (possible, given the street date is more than 4 months away), or only one disc is in hi-def.
We shall see in time.

that's why I noted it, I assume it's the same for the BluRay edition as well - as far as I can tell Amazon doesn't have the Ultimate HiDef editions up for preorder... yet.
