Total Recall SE R2 (Limited Steel Packaging)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 18 May 2005, 09:35

I may get rid of my R1 for this, not sure. Has the same features as the R1 (but a new commentary has been added?) and the picture on Play shows 2 discs (ven though it doesnt actually say it has 2 discs) so maybe the video quality of the film will be better. (The picture on the R1 is not great, quite dirty).

Why is it actually better?

It looked a 2 disc set with more extras. CD-WOW only say 1 disc though.
If it all it has that differs it from the r1 is steel packaging I wont bother.

Romero says this new TR has more extras than the R1 as it includes the French SE extras as well. One of the documentaries is an hour long.

wtf ?

wasnt a SE of Total Recall released in UK about a month ago with only a DD 2.0 soundtrack.

Huh?
I don't remember that. If it has 2.0 thats stupid and all the more reason to leave it!

Do you think this is worth the upgrade?

I'd upgrade my old R1 if it was cheaper (say a tenner).

Rewind confirm ir is 2 discs - look at "United Kingdom: Limited Edition":

I got this, the picture quality to me is pretty good, although i didn't have R1. I've never seen this movie until quite recently. The tin version is pretty nice, i've only got the standard amary 2 disk set which was dirt cheap from Virgin

Is the amaray just like the Tin but without the Tin (if you see what I mean)?

How much is it?

Is that not online then Slasher?

Oh well

I'll upgrade one day if it drops in price.

I got it off Amazon the other day for £8.97 or something. The case isn't like the T2 one was. This one, the tin case is actually part of the amaray which is on the inside of it, which holds two discs - one half on top of the other - inside of it. Sorry, I can't really explain it - but it's good!

I own the R1 SE. I purposely avoided the Tin as I hate fancy packaging. 8)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 12 Dec 2005, 17:26

Isnt it available with just the amaray?

I have the R1 SE too but with a photocopied cover which looks mince (dont ask).

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 12 Dec 2005, 17:56

As far as I know, it'll only be available as an amaray once the tins have sold out. You are a fool for avoiding fancy packaging!

Then I'm a fool. 8)

And yes, I have the Amaray with slipcase. (Took the slipcase off and put it in my drawer with the others). Sleeve is cooler without the slipcase and represents the original poster art. The Tin is hideous.

You mean that stupid red thing that supposed to be Mars? 8)

I've heard bad things about the packaging of the older release of Total Recall, but this new tin version is very smart.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 13 Dec 2005, 12:58

I was talking about avoiding the R1 tin. The UK tin isn't too bad I suppose. Still prefer ordinary packaging though.
