This movie was amazing!  One of the best uses of fairy tales I have ever seen in a film.  I'll definitely get the 2-Disc, although I like the 1 Disc cover art much better.

This should have won Best Foreign Language Picture.  Actually it should have been nominated and won Best Picture.

I thought you said it would have DTS,guess you were wrong.You might as well get the UK or the Spanish edition.The r3 is the one with the nicest presentation in terms of the cover,but the image quality is not as good as the others(but still pretty good)and the extras aren't subtitled-still...it looks great on your shelf.  

Oh,dont like the covers for region 1,specially the 2 disc one that makes the film look like a cheap horror movie

Yeah, from what i understand the other releases seem to have more extras than the R3 LE. I Have that one too and  haven't found any commentary for example. I kind of like the 2-disc artwork. Still think the artwork used for the soundtrack CD is the best though.

2 disc edition's cover is horrible, ohh well i gotta live with it. Single disc cover should have been 2-disc edition.

Outstanding movie by the way, i loved it.

Why is DTS-ES not being mentioned?

That is surprising.  However, I usually discard the slipcases when they're practically identical to the regular coverart.  The only time I keep them is if they chromey or something really special.  Most of the time, they're just a waste of card stock.

Definitely the 2-disc edition. But that SRP is so high!

It might still include DTS - hasn't been confirmed either way yet. I should have the full details tomorrow hopefully.

No movie stood a chance to win Best Picture at the Oscars this year because The Departed was gonna win all along since the Academy voters could not finally give Martin Scorsese a well earned Best Director Oscar and not a Best Picture Oscar to go along with it. This year was even more disgraceful than last year when Crash won, everybody knows why Crash won over Brokeback Mountain. Pans Labyrinth, Little Miss Sunshine, Babel, The Queen, United 93, Children Of Men, all better movies IMO than The Departed. I enjoyed The Departed but it's nothing that has not been done before in it's own genre.

Amazing movie, also one of the saddest ones I've seen this year. Can't wait to see what Guillermo del Toro comes up with next.

I have heard nothing but good things about this one. I Guess I will pick up the 2 Disc.

Interesting, I actually prefer the cover of the single disc.  I'll still be buying the two-disc edition though.

According to other sources it does have DTS. Not that I care but I know some of you guys do.

No HD or BD?

I disagree with ramalho's opinion of the R3 DVD image not looking as good as the Spanish and U.K. editions of this film. I've been lucky enough to have seen all 3 versions, and ultimately bought the R3 DVD because I thought that had the best image and audio quality. I compared them on my 65' inch HDTV with an upscaling 981 Oppo DVD player hooked to it. I feel the R3 DVD has a slightly sharper image and more vibrant colors with the slightest bit of edge-enhancement compared to the others. All three editions look pretty great on DVD, though. The only real problem found on all three editions are compression artifacts on some of the shadows and often whenever the film fades to black. As for sound, the R3's DTS track is great as well. However, it is only 5.1 DTS while the U.S. DVD will have 6.1 DTS-ES.

I'm just glad I have a gift card to get the U.S. R1 DVD so I won't feel guilty about having already purchased the R3 DVD. I will just throw away the horrible cover art on the U.S. DVD and place the discs inside the beautiful R3 package. The best of both worlds, right there.

New Line is going to release it through the THD format which has both BD and HD-DVD in one. However, I don't know when they will start to release their films in THD
