For those who feel like the briefcase is going to take up too much shelf space, here's an alternative.. release date is December 03, 2007 and is currently at £17.99 over at Amazon UK..
*****************************************************************

from DVDTimes:

Warner Home Video have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of Blade Runner: The Final Cut on 3rd December 2007. Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner starring Harrison Ford is considered one of the most important science-fiction movies of the 20th Century. In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Scott has gone back into post production to create the long-awaited definitive new version. Blade Runner: The Final Cut is spectacularly restored and remastered from original elements, has been scanned at 4K resolution and will contain never-before-seen extended scenes, new and improved special effects, a director and filmmaker audio commentary and a new 5.1 Dolby Digital audio track.

Blade Runner: The Final Cut will be included in two DVD editions. The Two-Disc Special Edition (£15.99 RRP) will have new commentaries and a bonus disc featuring the documentary Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner. The Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition (£29.99 RRP) will be packaged in a collectible tin with film lenticular, art cards and a letter from Ridley Scott.

The Collectors Edition will contain five versions of the film, the Dangerous Days documentary and will also include an entire disc with hours of enhanced content containing featurettes and galleries devoted to over 45 minutes of deleted and alternate scenes recently discovered in deep storage and approved by Ridley Scott, visual effects as well as background on author Philip K. Dick, script development, abandoned sequences, conceptual design, overall impact of the film and how it lead to the birth of cyberpunk.

Said Ridley Scott: "The Final Cut is the product of a process that began in early 2000 and continued off and on through seven years of intense research and meticulous restoration, technical challenges, amazing discoveries and new possibilities. I can now wholeheartedly say that Blade Runner: The Final Cut is my definitive director’s cut of the film."

What's missing in this release aside from the briefcase is the miniature origami unicorn figurine, miniature replica spinner car and 4 image galleries on disc 4 (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Cover Gallery, The Art of Blade Runner, Unit Photography Gallery and Marketing & Merchandise Gallery)..
