Awesome, they used the coolest poster for the cover. I'm buying this as well as the 2-disc Region 2 version.
I missed this in theaters but i will buy it the day it comes out.
Saw it while vacation in London, saw it in the states and I'll be importing the region 2 disc since it has the short film on it. Now what cover do I want.... I know HMV has the r1 art for their exclusive but....
Is this only 1-disc? If it is then I'm going for the region 2 disc. I want to see the short film as well.
yup, i'm getting the R2 release for sure. I knew we wouldn't get a good release.
Missed it as well but will surely get the dvd. Nice artwork as well.
Great to see an HD release but come on those extras are rubbish in comparison.
In my home town this movie had the misfortune of opening on the same day as Spider-Man 3. I don't think anyone saw it. Looked good though.
One of the funniest movies ever made. Too bad everyone is after junk like Spiderman 3.
A great film.

It's a shame this probably won't have near as many features as the R2 set.
I'm surprised Universal is announcing the DVD release of this movie as it is still playing in 973 theaters in the U.S.. Do they not have faith in word-of-mouth and give it a wider release? I'm pretty sure it'd be a sleeper hit (and it has made more money than "Shawn of the Dead" so far domestically), but like with "Children of Men", Universal is dumping it on DVD a few months after its U.S. release.
Although the cover art is pretty and for a R1 release, it is packed with extras (considering that Universal has a habit of skimping on extras for their more recent releases). But I bet that the Dolby Digital 5.1 track on the DVD won't be EX encoded like the theatrical showings did...

Great cover art.I just hope it has all the extras as the UK release..Just one commentary?

You can add Pirates 3 on the junk being pursued as well. Such a damn disappointment.
Hot Fuzz looks like a blast. I love Shaun of the Dead, and will pick this up blind with no further questions.

Wow, that was quick! I was considering buying the R2 to avoid the wait but I suppose I can wait an extra month, I was at least expecting August or September for this one.
Saw this on the Fuzzball Rally in DC, and proceeded to see it four more times in theaters. Already got the 2-disc from Amazon UK, and I'm definitely going to get this version. I've got both US and UK versions of "Shaun of the Dead", so why not?
shaun of the dead was way better than this movie, it was a tad corny but looking forward in seeing his next movie run fatboy run
i'll pass :S
Count me in for the HD.
Blind Buy for me. Really digging the artwork.
this film won my heart by playing XTC and the Kinks.
Of course I liked Pegg Frost and Wright already, too, but I was so enthused to see those two groups brought into greater awareness (and so well/appropriately, too!)...

Here comes the FUZZ.
One of the best films of the year by far, and I'm glad they went with that poster art!

No quotes on the cover. Perfect.
Surely the best film I've seen in the past 5 months.

Gee, I would really like to leave a two word response like some people ("I'll pass :S"? C'MON dude!) but I think I'd like to expound on my opinion.
Didn't care for Shaun of the Dead (about 30 minutes too long)....this film is overlong as well but I found it's pacing and total absurdity incredible to watch. Both leads talents are put to way better display here and I really enjoyed the entire thing. The gore is pretty gnarly and gooey too...

This was hilarious. Not sure if I'll get this though. I may get the region 2 version for the extra disc.
I LOVED Shaun of the Dead(and was a fan of Spaced too),and Hot Fuzz is no exception. I like it better than Shaun of the Dead,and both are in my Top 25 of all time. I will be buying the Region 2 UK 2-Disc and the HD-DVD.
Incredible movie. For a comedy, incredibly made.
Best film of the year so far. Just got home from watching this. I went to go see Shrek the Third and happened to see that in addition to Shrek and Pirates playing on 3 and 6 screens (respectively), the tenth screen was occupied by this little gem. I feel bad I paid for Shrek the Third (which was good) and sneaking into this with my friend. We had a blast in this one! MOST DEFINITELY picking this up on day of release.
Best film of the year. Totally can't wait to buy it.
This is my favourite movie so far this year. I enjoyed this a lot more than I did Shuan of the Dead. I loved the story, the characters and the last 30 minutes were hilarious. I'll buy this DVD, though July is getting crowded with releases, I just hope Universal doesn't release an SE 6 months from now.
