WOW!
Just got the Blade Runner set come through (well, it came yesterday morning but only just looked at it this afternoon)...wowsers!
Apart from the cool "I, Robot" head that I couldn't resist a couple of years back, this is quite possibly the best DVD presentation I've yet seen.
"It looks like a toy", my lady Jen said, to which I replied, "That's <I>exactly</I> what it is!"
The whole thing SCREAMS class (in mass-produced DVD terms), with some intricately cut foam padding holding the physical extras and the DVD case really subtle though embossed and nice 'n' heavy feeling. The case is really good quality, and though it does feel toy-like, it's an adult toy that we can all have fun with!
Very, very cool...
I'm looking forward to digging into the extras first and then seeing the new cuts. I'm actually glad I went for the standard-def because then I can just upgrade to the Blu-Ray for much cheaper and get the alternative packaging. I'll likely spring for the 5-disc BR, but if the alternate cuts don't impress me too much I may just go for the two-disc.
But, man, this is one smokin' set!
