What's the big deal? I checked out the price and for shipping and the package, it should be about $50-55 US. They deliver.

Or is it the region codes? If it's that, I do know how to get around that :cooltongue: I just ordered it. I guess by the time the film comes out, I'll truly have an "international set" :angry:

Don't worry. Considering the special features, you'll have another 4-5 chances for a cool new package somewhere down the line. :cooltongue:

Perfectly excellent.

I will order mine post haste for the free courier delivery.
Been wanting to get a poker set for a long time. It is in a box also, to match the UE DVD's of sorts.

The cards are kind used in the film, but on the front cover seem to have EzyDvd instead of Casino Royale. Hope it is only a sticker or something.

My first thought lol.

It says somewhere that the final artwork hasnt been finished yet and is subject to change so I wouldnt worry too much about what that picture depicts.

I've bought a few of these types of special collectors sets from Ezydvd. The last ones I got were the Evil Dead Trilogy boxset and the 4 disk Kingdom Of Heaven directors cut set, and both were beautifully presented and in really nice tin cases, so I think this set should be pretty dman good too.

Here is hoping that we get black coloured cards and red coloured cards, ala the Deluxe poker set. No matter if it doesnt occur, but would be nice. The poker chips seem to be faithful to the film - being green and red. Excellent.

Dont know what dice are doing in a poker set, but I will have them all the same and seem to fit the package nicely.

Nice. It's certainly looking a lot better than the OTHER crappy poker set we got with the UE DVDs.

Yes...Considerably. That would be a very nice way to purchase the new DVD, I hope it goes on sale in the states.

I'd gladly pay 50 bucks for that thing if they released it over here. Surely Sony realizes that?

But the thing is, you don't have to pay 50 bucks. I got it for $35 US and I live in the US. You know you can play a region 4 DVD on many DVD players at home? I've picked up DVDs from all around (France, UK, Japan, etc) and I just change the region code for the DVD player and things work great.

Just thought you guys would like to know since it is possible to have something like this delivered to you door. I guess the only drawback is that it doesn't come out til April 4th, but that's okay with me.

I am so weak! I just placed my order to take advantage of the small window for free shipping and the limited edition nature of this release. I sure hope the poker set is of Cartamundi quality...

What does $59.83 translate to in US dollars? I REALLY want that. I'm still upset they never offered the UK DVD attach

There's a currency converter at the website. But watch for the shipping. YIKES!! I'm keeping my order for the moment since the total with shipping is like $65 US.

Course I'm a woman and it's my right to change my mind.

Had a talk to the guys behind the counter at my local EzyDVD store about this today. They reckon that if you don't pre-order this you won't get one as there won't be enough left over to put out on the shelf on the day.

And....if you pre-order it you won't get it any earlier than April 4.

That poker set looks really cool. Does anyone know of a US promotion for pre-ordering CR?

In other words, if you are in the US - where's the best place to re-order the movie?
