"Batman Begins"

For those of you who may have read elsewhere that the Deluxe Two-Disc set of "Batman Begins" had been discontinued, please let me put your minds at rest. I just spoke to Warner Bros. publicity who assure me the set is simply sold out, not discontinued. It will be back.

kinda silly that they even released the single disc edition seeing as how many retailers charged the exact same amount for the two disc edition (which was considerably cheap). They should have just stuck with the two disc only (I say this because I didn't bother to pre-order a Batman Begins Deluxe DVD and can't find it anywhere now, so I'm somewhat bitter about having to wait and now pay more eventually, but thanks for the info John).

Amazon's site says they still have the two-disc edition. Have you checked them?

John

Thanks for the info but I don't use credit cards and I'm little less than willing to mail cash. I'll wait for the next shipment.

It was at "Target" last week.

Ya I wrote a fairly lengthy post on the subject of Warner Brothers releasing two versions in order to make more money on the Batman Begins review board, but it was called by some as whiny and needless. I happen to disagree. I'll try walmart again, but I doubt I'll have any luck finding it cheap.

Onijay,

Actually, most retailers were charging $20 or more for the 2-disc DE and around $15 for the 1-disc one. If this had been released as a 2-disc set only, we would have seen the price drop down to the $15 range. This is a gimmick that studios are employing in order to to charge you more. The cheapest price for the DE was at Amazon for $15.98 (it's OOS now).

don't know where you live but my local walmart has plenty in stock. Maybe try other stores.

Check out the website (DVD World USA) its on sale. I don't think it gets the 4 Collector's Cards as R4 did though.

I honestly don't remember a 3-disc edition, just the single, and 2-disc w/comic book (deluxe).

A few sources were saying that the comic book was in limited release.

Bohem,

I don't think there is a 3-disk edition. Just the single and double. Unless I missed something.

DVD World USA has both the 2 Disc Set and 3 Disc Set available. The 2 Disc Set has been discounted suggesting stocks are low but the other seems to be high.

According to my amazon.com search.
A new 2 Disc SE, will be coming out soon, it's the same as the previous DE,
except for it won't have the comic book.

You can't order it on amazon.
You can only buy it used or new on there.

How much was the Deluxe 2-Disc Edition selling for on Amazon.com?

EDIT: oops, just saw Hock's post. Wow I guess I should've got them from Amazon for 16 bucks. I ended up paying 21 bucks @ Barnes and Nobles yesterday :(

LOL @ alexj

I'll let the staff handle this

The character "Alexi" has been spamming the Message Board all day and night with dozens of posts touting a particular retail site. I'm trying my best to delete his stuff as soon as I see it.

WHAT EXTRAS do you GET with the 2-disc edition anyway?

Doesn't it have the EXACT WS version of the movie?

That's all I really need....

Yes, for people who only want the movie, the single disc edition contains the same movie in the same video quality as the two-disc edition. If you don't care about the extras, the single disc is obviously the better value, even if it's only a few dollars difference.
