Me too... because now a days the dvd version of blade which were sold on offine markets only carries the single disc

A collectible, limited edition Marvel comic book? Hmm...sounds interesting. Worth looking out for. I hope the extended cut of the film with an extra ten minutes of footage consist more gore & fight scenes similar to Kill Bill Vol:1 (Japan version).

Double or even tripple dip is a phenomenon that can't be avoided in certain circumstances esp among serious collectors (such as yourself baby

) but it is indeed a frustrating experience most of the time....unless the double or triple dip consist of totally different packaging esp limited edition such example: the House of the Flying Daggers LE, HK & Korea release.

Lucky for me I haven't get any of the Blade series....definitely looking forward to this Trilogy Boxset!

Blade Giftset
DVD Release Date: April 26, 2005
Number of discs: 3

too bad no special features mentioned regarding this boxset, and disappointingly 3 discs only - i guess we can't expect much from only 3 discs.

arbitrary · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 20, 2005 at 04:05 PM »

Now this is confusing. All of the sites I've visited (eg., cd-wow, play.com, dvdconcept) either have the number of discs pegged at 5, or to be confirmed. I only hope the 5-disc set wins out.

i hope you're right, my source is amazon.com and they didn't put much info in the dvd features.

Loved the first 2 movies & already have them on DVD, however Blade Trinity is really bad IMHO. Although an early review praises the video, DTS-ES audio & extensive 105 mins. making-of documentary, I personally have decided to pass on Trinity.

hi, thanks for the info, i guess Amazon is still cheaper at $50.39 and is being released April 26. (ciguro kaya mas mura because 3-disc lang ang naka-post sa details- heh heh

) anyway, i didn't really liked the ending of Blade Trinity but if this has the "darker version" of the ending i'd love to see it.

baby · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 19, 2005 at 11:56 PM »

Amazon offers the lowest price at $50.39.It sez that its only 3 disc but its really 5 disc. I haven’t seen Blade Trinity yet. But based on people’s reaction on the movie. Is doesn’t seem that good. But for me ill buy the trilogy to complete the collection and also for the box that comes with it.

Here is the actual pic of the Blade Trilogy 5disc Ultimate Collection. I got mine at a very low introductory price of $34.95 at Frys (Last week from April 26-29)

On top of the 5disc set and a wondeful embosed box coverart.
The box set also comes with a limited Marvel Comics (same size as the Spiderman2 comic insert) that is prepacked in Blade Trinity dvd

By the way PCHIN... The Alternate Ending... its not darker... its funnier

*spoiler* .. The alternate ending is located at Disc 2 of Blade Trinity and the main characters of it were NightStalkers hunting a Werewolf/Vampire Breed Monster in a casino located China . No Blade on sight...

Yikes amazon is prety pricey

firewired · « **Reply #27 on:** May 05, 2005 at 09:45 AM »

Yeah, Blade: Trinity was pretty lame IMHO. Re the director's cut, I can't see how an additional 11 minutes can save the film. Wesley Snipes is actually sueing New Line and Goyer for messing it up -- plus they still owe him money.

Would I buy the 5-disc set? Maybe I'll wait for the inevitable next sequel. Blade is like the Alien franchise in that way. Hopefully the 4th one's a charm.

hi, i got a question for blade fans: why is it that there seem to be a "EXTREME EDITION" of Blade Trinity apart from the "UNRATED VERSION". is this release any different?
