Wonderful! Well, only if they had included those extras on standard release as well. Anyway, still looks like a worthwhile release. Cant wait!

insted of having the huge banner, they should take out the quotes in the bottom and it should say somethiing like "what academy awards did this win? a) best picture; b)best director; c) best adapted screenpley; d)all of the above plus 5 more"

Great film!  Decent cover art, though the quotes have got to go.

Not so keen on the gold banner on the top, couldn't they just have put the Oscar statue with how many the film won. Though I suppose that would be too understated.

I recently seen Slumdog and thoroughly enjoyed it, as did the whole audience. You can debate whether it deserved all the awards it received but it certainly was an enjoyable and uplifting film IMO.

I will probably wait for the UK/Ire release seeing it recently but I look forward to owning it.

I guess the 7 other Oscars aren't worth mentioning, but out-of-context quotes are.

Still have yet to see this movie.  My brother loved it and he hardly ever enjoys movies set in foreign countries, so that's saying something about its universal appeal....

Haven't seen it, but will NetFlix it just to see what all the hub-bub is about.  Honestly, from what I've seen and heard, it looks over-rated.

'Course I'm bitter about TDK getting shafted with the Golden Globe and Oscar nom's.  At least Ledger got his posthumous win.  

Ok they have completely destroyed the cover with that huge Academy banner! Im assuming is a sticker thats placed on the wrapper.

Cluttered art, and I wish there were more extras. Will wait till the end of the year to buy in case of a double-dip for the holidays.

Slumdog millionaire was one of the best movies I've seen of 2008, or 2009. The acting was excellent, the script was amazing, and the whole story worked perfectly. Danny Boyle and everyone else involved should be proud of their masterpiece. It truly deserved the Oscar it got for best picture. Nice to see it won at least eight Oscars. People say Slumdog was overrated, while I thought Benjamin Button was overrated. Sure it was perfect to look at and it was good but I don't think it was good enough to be nominated in Best Picture. I think either The dark knight or Gran Torino should have taken Button's slot. I was surprised this year, that there were hardly any "surprises". Okay maybe there were at least three but over the years we would have plenty.

Maybe I'll pick this up. I don't think I gave it enough of a chance, because I remember being sort of disappointed leaving the theater. It seems like a loaded disc, so I'll pick it up eventually probably.

Though I wouldn't go as far as to say Slumdog is overrated, I do think TDK was a far better film than the other 4 nominated films that went up against Slumdog.

How the hell a movie which has THE most dynamic supporting role performance of the year, outgrosses ALL the best picture nominees combined to the tune of being the 2nd highest grossing film of all time AND has a higher critical rating than all but one of the best picture nominees, doesn't even get nominated for best picture, just proves without a shadow of doubt how out of touch the academy really is.  

With that said, I think Slumdog needed the win a lot more than TDK did profit wise. It was in the top 5 this week again with having that best picture win. TDK didn't need any such boost, so I am happy for the makers of Slumdog, I just hope they share it with the kids.

I did find Slumdog a bit long in the middle, but it is a satisfying movie to watch. It is a lot better than other best picture winners of previous years, so I can't show it too much hate. I just wish TDK was given a shot to win it.

What's all this TDK talk. Is it an acronym?

As to being hyped. Hype is a very dangerous thing. It can literally kill a film that you may otherwise think of as very good indeed. In this case I thought it was deserved but I've not always (e.g - Blair witch, rubbish).

For those who only thought it okay you may want to give it another shot in a few months. I often find hyped films I only think of okay I like much more on a second viewing.

Care to be any more unsure of yourself? :D.

Talk about being indecisive ha ha.

I loved this film!  It was definitely the best film of 2008 and worthy of every award it has recieved.  I cannot wait to buy this on Blu-ray and I'm happy they stuck with the poster for the coverart, but I do seriosuly hope the award banner is not actually that huge.

A straight to video release that finally makes its way after spending a year on the shelf collecting dust.

(hint-hint)

Great film that was deserving of the Best Picture Oscar.
