very anticipated release...it's good that they decided to release it in 2-disc already than releasing a bareboned DVD then release the SE in a couple of months. This movie screams gift set or special packaging. I'll be vigilant for any US store exclusives.

Removing the slip case of the single disc and transforming it with that kind of cover art... I'll get both editions (single and two-disc)! If there'll be a gift set... then I'll get three! In fact I would get all versions if there would be many!

And since this will be viewed in the privacy of my own, I can now clap as many times as I want...

Will this be the extended edition which will be shown on Imax version of the film?

Koolkat · « **Reply #10 on:** Sep 07, 2007 at 01:38 AM »

A little dissapointed with the 2-disc cover art. It's the same image that we've seen of Optimus Prime before.

RadicalDude · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 07, 2007 at 10:07 AM »

It's now available for pre-order from Amazon.

I highly doubt it.

clea · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 08, 2007 at 11:24 AM »

If this will not include the 2 extra minutes in the Imax version then I'll probably just wait for that release...

they still haven't said what the extra 2 minutes would be but i'm hoping it would be the barricade scene which was left out in the movie but included in the comics version of the film

expect the studio to milk this dry. so at the very least a double dip is in order.

techdude · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 08, 2007 at 09:06 PM »

I like the single disc artwork more than the two-disc version... and frankly, some of the creations of pinoydvd artists are better than those...

allanmandy · « **Reply #16 on:** Sep 10, 2007 at 02:56 PM »

Yeah. The two-disc set screams for red and yellow hues. It's so plain.

thegoodbyeguy · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 10, 2007 at 04:16 PM »

Since this is one of the most wanted DVDs, distributors will likely to release yet another 'tempting' edition in the future and may even tagged it as the ULTIMATE EDITION.

Futureshop has exclusive steelbook editions for Transformers! T_T

seph1018 · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 12, 2007 at 12:09 PM »

posting pic of futureshop steelbook:

not so good cover though...

Battousai · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 12, 2007 at 12:26 PM »

They should've released an "all spark" metal box to place the DVDs in. Even if they put a high price tag, a lot of fans would still buy that $hit.

boredfilmmaker · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 12, 2007 at 04:35 PM »

looks like the steelbook versions are going to look like this..

not bad if they release the steelbook locally...but am still hoping for a better cover. Let's wait for the store exclusives...I guess everybody's gonna do multiple dips for this one anyway.

activeweekender · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 12, 2007 at 07:35 PM »

Pre-ordered the 2-disc version from columbia house dvd. Release date is October 16. Hopefully I will have it by November.

There will be a Transformers Giftset from Bestbuy which includes Optimus Prime and Cliff Jumper figures. But not much info on the exact specs or size of the figures.
