xage just posted a picture of the Target Exclusive R1 V for Vendetta dvd. I also has the comic book but the slipcase is lenticular. Why didn't Warner include that as well? I think that the Batman Begins and Corpse Bride DE dvds sold far better than the Constantine DE.

Please take not that it was only "Target Stores" that carries the Lenticular and 64 Page Comic Book here in US. The rest of the stores that sells DE doesnt carry the following.

With the 64 page attached with the Philippines V DE that is an advantage compare with other US retail stores (except Target)

Stocks for this DE are similar to Batman Begins DE which is to say that there really aren't a lot of copies floating around. The situation was different with the Constantine DE release since Warner was able to bring in a second shipment after the first ran out.

Based on the last sales update of PinoyDVD.biz, we're low on copies as well and Warner was only able to re-stock with the regular 2-disc version.

now this explains why. so  to all real collectors, go grab a copy now or order in pinoydvd.biz while it's still available.

Got my copy last Friday at Astroplus SM City North Edsa during their 3 day sale - so I only paid P585 for the DE. The new MTRCB sticker is really annoying. It's a huge strip stuck at the back of the cover.

What chapters/volumes of the original graphic novel were included in the comicbook?

I watched the movie twice but when I watched it at my Audiovox for the 1st time, the menus were English, then when I watched it again on my regular DVD player, the menus were Chinese. Wierd.  ???

Did anyone experience this?

go to the settings of your dvd player (not the menu of the disc), it must have been set to chinese as default.

Got mine earlier.

Actually, I don't really like the movie...but the Deluxe version is just so collectible and well-made that the collector in me won over the frugal and wise me.  Wish other local distributors are like Warner...

Got my copy today at SM Clark, it was nice, though I was hoping for a lenticular slipcase, just  like Batman Begins (which sold for a lower price) and Corpse Bride.

PQ and SQ are okay. Though I can compare nung picture quality with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, medyo soft yung ibang scenes.

Got my DE at Astro SM North EDSA also. I liked the quality of the slipcase, mejo nabitin lang sa comic book. I agree that the PQ is comparable to HP:Goblet of Fire, mejo soft ung ibang scenes and a little too grainy sometimes, still, it's an enjoyable movie. Di ko kasi to napanood sa sine.

 ;D The fly in the ointment...That darn MTRCB sticker at the back lower portion. Good thing it didn't stick hard on the glossy paper but remove it with much, much care and caution and take the glue residue off with a masking tape..Revenge's a bitch hehe

No easter egg on the R3 release... I scanned all the titles on both discs. Can anyone confirm this?

TIA!

I took off the MTRCB sticker from my Vendetta and Syriana DVDs.  It totally f**ked the cover and has torn bits and pieces.  Even with it looking like crap, I still prefer it like that than having the sticker on there.

Why is it the R3 pinoy version always get the short end of the stick?  It's like nobody gives a second thought about collectors.  Some Video City and Odyssey stores are notorious on putting those anti-theft device inside the case.  The Fantastic Four I bought from Video City had those anti-theft stickers sticked between the cover and the casing.  I couldn't take it out cleanly.  They used the most annoying sticky stuff too.

No insert, as with other recent Warner releases.
