| | Posted: | | | | what amazes me,, is the fact that for a 50GB storage availabilty with BluRay's BladeRunner Special Edition -it is still on 5 discs.. It should all be stored on maybe two discs. How much data can you fit on a Blu-ray disc?A single-layer disc can hold 25GB. A dual-layer disc can hold 50GB. To ensure that the Blu-ray Disc format is easily extendable (future-proof) it also includes support for multi-layer discs, which should allow the storage capacity to be increased to 100GB-200GB (25GB per layer) in the future simply by adding more layers to the discs. How much video can you fit on a Blu-ray disc? Over 9 hours of high-definition (HD) video on a 50GB disc. About 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video on a 50GB disc. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | You do relaize that there's more than one, more than two, okay more than three cuts of the film. One of the discs is a DVD.
All the cuts are in HD. | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| | Posted: | | | | It really doesn't matter. More disks = better value for idiot consumers. Anybody who thinks that studios will dump volumes of content on single BRs (whole TV seasons, anyone), has completely missed the marketing boat. |

| | Posted: | | | | Plus, you're only talking about video content with your little Q&A session there. What about the audio? We need audio don't we? | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

The five discs in each set are identical: disc one contains 'The Final Cut' and several extras; the mammoth 3 hour-plus documentary "Dangerous Days" gets disc two all to itself; disc three features three additional cuts of the film accessible via seamless branching (the 1982 domestic and international versions, plus the 1992 Director's Cut); disc four houses the "Enhancement Archive," which is loaded with featurettes, deleted scenes and more; and finally, the fifth disc features the ultra-rare "Workprint Version" of 'Blade Runner' that had previously only been seen at rare theatrical screenings and on poor-quality bootlegs. Regardless of which high-def format you choose, tech specs are identical -- you'll get the same video encodes of the film (all 1080p/VC-1), plus Dolby TrueHD audio on 'The Final Cut,' and standard Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks on the other versions of the film. | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| | Posted: | | | | Good enough to compel me to purchase it even though I really don't need three cuts of the film. |
