    Yeah, I read something along those lines a while ago - but I'm not sure when it's supposed to happen. As someone who has often imported DVDs in the past, it pisses me off too - especially as the import exchange rate is so crap nowadays (I used to import shedloads when it was two dollars to the pound).

    I also hate the region coding on Blu-Rays (I thought BR was supposed to be the chance to get shot of region coding!) - I mean for crying out loud, I'm buying the goddamned disc, what's the big problem?! Besides, it's only the hardcore film fans that import movies, the vast majority just buy whatever is in their local HMV.

    *sigh*

    Anyway - I bloody well hope the special edition comes to our shores (damn sight cheaper than importing, and it opens up the opportunity for BR). Take note AMC and Anchor Bay - us Brits are chomping at the bit for the Special Edition of TWD season one!

    I personally think it's trying too hard...we all enjoy B&W classics, we enjoy them because they are classics, not because they are in B&W.

    Not having a pop at anybody personally here...just saying I find the whole thing a bit, well, elitist/arty for my tastes. It may even be best ranted about on another thread.
    It's a load of old bollox, is what it is. The inclusion of "special B+W" versions that is, not enjoying B+W films in itself.

    Besides, if anybody really wants to watch a colour film in black and white, they can simply flatline the colour on the TV. It does the same trick. I looked at 'The Mist' in B+W a while ago and it just looked like 'The Mist' with the colour off.

    That has to be mocked-up artwork ... surely ... right? Because, good god, that's just cobbled together in MSPaint practically. That's gotta be some 'fan art' or something ... please say so.

    I don't get the point of worrying about cover-art. Are you going to frame it and hang it up in your living room? I don't have enough room for all the DVD boxes/slip cases/etc. myself so all those go in the garbage when I get home except for a rare few I keep which I have room for. Everything else goes into my CD cases for my films.

    What ever happened to the talk of an extended first episode?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I believe that was all a misunderstanding. The talk was that the R2 fans got an extended cut, but really it was just the same cut without commercials.

    I could very well be wrong, but thats what i've gathered in the last year. They promised you guys an "extended cut", when in reality it was just the 70(?) minute cut without commercials.
    .
    Actually, you guys may have missed out on a few minutes on the dvd.

    If it costs $59.99 for the Bluray edition for 6 episodes, how much is season 2 going to cost with 13 episodes?
