I always love comparing the covers from the UK dvds to North America.

Grindhouse, Despicable Me, Salt and The Town are same.

Scot Pilgram, Predators, Taken, Knight and Day, and that Carlos/Jackal DVD are differnet than ours.

Oh and that Inception box looks huge lol. Never seen one of those either.

I did indeed, not a top notch film, but solid and enjoyable

My blu rays of Despicable Me, and The Town are from America, that's why they are the same cover.

It's lovely but it's not that big actually, the French edition of the suitcase is bigger but then it holds more stuff than the British release.

I was thinking of getting the French edition of Predators but it turned out too expensive compared to the British one I got, and I don't want to spend a lot on a film like Predators:



It's slightly like the steelbook edition that Britain got but it's out of print now. So just went for the British triple play because it was in the sales.

I think if you have access to online ordering I think it's stupid to carry on buying dvds when, if you look around, you can get the same film on blu ray/closer to cinema quality for maybe only a £1 more... or less than the dvd even which is the case sometimes. Especially now, if you are a fan of extras, companies are apparently reducing them on dvds and putting it all on the blu rays.
