The 5-disc collection will include all of the features of the previously released collection, along with a 5th disc of bonus material.

All of the above extra material will be included, with many of the features also being presented in HD. Retail will be $119.99. The Blu-ray discs do not appear to be available seperately.

Looking at this art, I'm glad I purchased the R2, since the cover looks more classy with just the blood splatter and no faces. Plus the "Includes All Three Amazing Films" tag is also a minus for me. Not to mention... the R2 many of us already got is a steelbook... 

And look at the price! I got my R2 for GBP 17.98 = PHP 1605.69 (actually lower than that, since the peso was stronger a month ago). This costs USD 72.99 = PHP 3,273.61 Whoa! Double!

This is a very bad buy if R2 is also an option for you.

Actually, the difference would be smaller, since Amazon gives discount of around 30% during preorder period.  So while still more expensive, it should be around 2,300Php..

Yes, it is. More details here.

And if you add the now more expensive Expedited Shipping, it'll cross the $50 mark by about $15-$20, so you risk getting taxed at the post office, which will run you an additional PHP 2000... or 500 if you go "under the table" and forego your receipt.
