Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children limited edition out this week
via siliconera
Usually early adopters get all the good pre order bonuses, but not in the case of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. The movie was finally released in the USA last year and now Sony Pictures is re-releasing it in a “limited edition” box set on February 6 for the price of $49.99. The box set comes with the two disc DVD release that has the feature film, a copy of the English movie script, a biographical character booklet, ten postcards and a new feature with interviews with the English voice actors. What really makes the limited edition worth buying is Last Order –Final Fantasy VII-, a twenty-five minute anime clip with Zack and Cloud. The OVA clears up the events after Cloud’s visit to his hometown Nibelheim and acts as a tie in to Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. After seeing the limited edition box set the “special” two disc edition that was released in North America doesn’t seem too special any more…
Hoping for a quality Blu-Ray release instead...
Yeah, I don't know about you guys but I'm sick of DVD re-releases. Every 4 months the same movies come out in collectors editions, deluxe editions, unrated director's cuts, ultimate editions, 300 DISC SUPER EXTENDED CUTs, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
I cannot stand buying the same movies over and over and over.
So I too am holding out for a Blu-Ray release. Blu-Ray is kicking HD-DVD's a$$ more and more every week that passes and sales and popularity prove it. I have always hoped Blu-Ray would come out on top of the HD Wars.
But anyway, I am afraid that the stage is set for a repeat of what irritates me about DVD releases. A lot of Blu-Ray releases seem rushed and don't have all of the extra features their DVD versions have. Some classic movies like ROCKY received very poor HD treatment on Blu-Ray which is a tragedy.
So we will no doubt see Blu-Ray movies re-released on loaded Blu-Ray packages in the future when Blu-Ray becomes more popular and more and more homes have HDTV's. Where does it end? Where does the line get crossed where the consumer is simply getting ripped off.
