The regular 2-disc 499 was beside the 550 with the notebook at Astro Sm Sucat yesterday.

Thanks.  Will be on the look out sa Astro stores in our area.

would settle for the R3 release. would check if notebook adds value to the whole package.

nice pricing Warner!! finally, my impression of your company is beginning to change.

I compared the R3 with a sealed copy of the R1.

1. Although the front and back cover art is quite different, the listed special features are identical on the two releases.

2. On the back cover, the printed running time of the R1 is 115 mins. On the R3, the printed time is 117 mins.! I was thinking there was an "international cut" of the film that was a little longer, so I rushed home to post about it here. However, I just checked the disc itself. The actual runtime of the main feature is only 114 minutes and 46 seconds. So clearly... the 117 mins. running time is just a misprint, sorry! 

movie lang ba talaga laman ng disc 1?

Movie, 2 1/2 minute trailer, and 40 second commercial for the soundtrack CD.

Got to watch it already last night. PQ was a little soft but clean, audio was good (very active mix). I'm content with the R3 already...Warner could've made a better job on the notebook though but for the price, who's gonna argue that this is a steal.

I think the R3 also has both of the (reported) Easter eggs of the 2-disc R1. Found one of them last night on Disk 2:

Select "Features" from the main menu
Highlight "Main Menu" and press the "Down" button on your remote
A large W will appear on top of the menu portion. Select it and you get an animatic of the Mike Teavee song, with the lead Oompa-Loompas in a music video 

The other Easter egg should appear when you complete all the challenges in the Golden Ticket game ... unfortunately I haven't seen it yet because the Augustus Gloop part is sooo difficult

I bought this 2 days ago, it wasnt on display yet & was still in the box when I saw it.

Great PQ and sound, but the LFE in the first part where the trucks were leaving the factory was out of control. The sub was rumbling wildly in an unpleasant way. Anyone else experience this?

PS: I actually experienced this same thing in the P**ted version so I thought that the original wont be like this, but apparently it still is.  (mods delete this part if inappropriate)

Got also my copy yesterday but I settled for the P499 version. I don't like the notebook.

[vtec3]

Got my copy last night and gave the notebook to my son

Got my copy last night and gave the notebook to my son 

Yup, my intentions as well.

Was in Odyssey Gateway yesterday and they still have around 5 copies of this title plus the notebook ... unlike with the Batman DE, when they didn't have even ONE copy.

bought this one as a gift to my daughters.  Got the one without the notebook para hindi na pagawayan  he!he!...will be able to watch this after Xmas na  he!he!

hindi naman pala kagandahan yung free notebook. akala ko pwede ipang display kasama ng ibang mga free sa mga special edition DVDs

That's why I opted for the regular, notebook-less release. Same features naman eh.
