So, basically what R2UK got the first time around + a subtitled version of the 3rd Diary disc from one of the 10,000 R3K releases + a film cell and a manga. I'll pass.
I might pick up the R2UK Vengeance trilogy boxset, granted if Tartan hasn't stuffed up and slapped on NTSC-PAL garbage for SFMV and SFLV.

I don't like the colour of the box.
OldBoy ain't brown/orange.
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".
Eh? I didn't say the transfer the crap I have one of the Korean 2 discers and the transfer is great, but the extras aren't English friendly is what I'm saying.
Didnt say you said anything, I am on about this new box. These idiots never release quality dvds. I have had 3 versions of the film including the maeive copper Korean tin, whic I never even bothered watching in the end as the film was so disapointing really.
This looks awesome and I'd definitely pick it up if I didn't already own Old Boy but as I do I'll be passing too. The current 2 disc extras are enough; I've barely watched those.
It does bring a dilemma for those who also want the box set though. Weird Tartan are bringing different releases to each country. The current R1 version is severely lacking in extras. Oh yeah thanks Eva.

I seriously doubt the AV will be remastered, just some new extras. I'd still pick up SFMV but not while it's in that box set. I'm more than happy with my SFLV Korean set.

That is a weird UK addition indeed.

Not true. Both Old and A Tale of Two Sisters have gorgeous transfers. There are others too.

Well the DVDs not the Tin, Film Cell or Manga Graphic Novel but different LE Stuff, check out the picture.
And: "whilst Oldboy has the autobiography of Oldboy and an English dubbed version"
Maybe I was wrong it also says: "Sympathy For Mr Vengeance; Oldboy; and Lady Vengeance all get special double disc treatments and are fully remastered in HD"
So fingers crossed for new transfers, assumming this is the case I'd opt for this over the R1 Tin.
Alsso
The details for this set have been adjusted slightly - the Harry Knowles commentary on OldBoy has been dropped (I doubt this will bother anyone!) and we know what pack-ins will be featured on the Deluxe Set. Artwork has also been added.
I doubt I'll bother now as I only need to still get SFMV. I'll probably opt for the R1 as the R4 will be more expensive for me.
Not intrested in a 3 film set at all, I just want the film. The knoweles commentary I will just copy from my Oldboy Copper Tin set before I sell it I guess.
It should be the version with the improved colours. Tartan's R2UK of Oldboy used the transfer with the improved colours as well, not that the mess which the director and cinematographer wanted.
So whose planning to pick up the new box set or is everyone waiting to hear if SFMV and SFLV are Remastered?
If they're remastered I'll be selling my Old boy and SFLV Korean DVDs if not I doubt I'll bother. I want the new extras but it needs to be extras + new transfer to make it worth my while upgrading.
Why would I buy a set with a worse SFLV transfer? If they're not remastered I'll just get the SFMV R1 DVD and be done with it (the R4 version is Native-PAL + a few more extras but more expensive).
Looks like we'll be hanging onto our R3K SFLV 2-discers regardless of if we get the Vengeance Trilogy boxset or not. It doesn't have the full colour version of SFLV.

It includes pretty much everything I could have ever wanted, with one notable exception - the original theatrical version of Lady V. I guess Tartan are banking on people buying that separately. Other than that, it's an amazing set. The extras look fantastic, and the second disc of Oldboy alone has a three hour documentary! Transfers are all progressive as well.
Still no confirmation of native-PAL transfers yet.
LOL the whole point Tartan was COLOUR and F2B not one or the other. So still NO Native-PAL COLOUR version from Tartan.
Meh I'm keeping my Korean set.
I WANT both versions and the only way to do this is the box set (assuming they're Native-PAL) and the SFLV R1 or R4, and I'm not doing that. I'm already done with this box set it's the R1 or R4 SFMV for me.
Yes I'd like the SFMV and SFLV Extras but I want both cuts much more, Oldboy UK R2 is already perfect "for me".

Ow I didn't realise they'd kept the original title on R4 top marks to Madman.
Where's the cheapest the R4 SFMV can be picked up Mr. Eva? Cheers
The cheapest I can find is:
* R1: DVD Pacific (cheaper than DDD) $20.41/£10.83
* UK R2: CD WOW £7.99 before vouchers (one of those ones which doesn't appear in searches): http://www.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2. ... ffid=13858
* R4: DeVotedDVD.com.au $27.39/£11.03
It's good to see there's not much in it between the R1 and R4 but the UK R2 is so much cheaper at £5.99 (I didn't realise it was that cheap).
I'll get the R4 as at £11.03 delivered it's a fair enough price, no point getting the UK R2 if I might be disappointed with the transfer.

Of course I want both cuts, I already own both of them on the R3K 2-discer.
or would you just keep your Korean LE too?
Well duh, I already said that I would be.

Weird retail shops are virtually never cheaper here, mostly way more.
Who said anything about physical retail shops? I was talking e-stores, things are often sold below the RRP, as it is in the UK and everywhere else. But also Borders hand out 15-20% coupons like they're going out of style.
Anyway I've changed my mind I'll be getting SFMV R4 too.
I said that I'd only buy SFMV IF the transfers in the boxset are NTSC-PAL.
I have one of the Korean 2 discers and the transfer is great, but the extras aren't English friendly is what I'm saying.
