I got mine in the mail today from WB! I'll have a review up later this week. Best Buy's set comes w/ an exclusive litho of that new TDK poster... A close-up of the Best Buy litho..

It's a great set that I'd like to get my hands on, but: 1) It'll probably never get released here 2) Do they refund if you prove you've purchased a previous Begins DVD?

I was all set to pick up the Blu-Ray version of the Gift Set when I noticed that it (The Best Buy version) only offered the Batman flash drive with the SD version of the set. I was a little bummed, as I already have two copies of Batman Begins. I was willing to pick up the Blu-Ray copy to get the flash drive but not wasn't as willing to pick up another SD copy. I'll probably think it over and decide. The other "extras" look cool too so I'll probably pick up one or the other, just not sure which yet.

Truth be told I was a little disappointed with the giftset. - Art on the postcards is beautiful - perforated/fold out packaging is terrible however. - Mini comic and screenplay w/ photo layout were neat additions but a) one can definately do without them b) I will garantee they will show up in a bunch of later tie in publications. - The version of the Begins collectors edition that I bought during it's initial release already has the exact same lenticular cover on it. Bought the Blu Ray version of the set and I am mystified as to why both sets did not include the flash drive. I can't justify buying a second copy of a DVD I already own for a $2 drive.
The actual film on Blu Ray is beautiful however. By far one of the best Blu Ray discs I have laid my eyes on. I am one of those people who does appreciate that the difference between Blu ray and upscaled SD is typically marginal at best on screens <60". Begins is different. The whole film is more vivid than ever before and the sound finally mimicks what I experienced in the theater.
The inclusion of the "movie cash" is the only thing that kept me from kicking myself for buying the giftset opposed to the stand alone Blu ray. The $10 gift certificate makes the giftset only $2 more than the stand alone. Have my Imax opening tickets for TDK but I imagine it will come in handy for subsequent viewings.

Could you maybe post scans of the comic and screenplay? I love stuff like that.

Sure; but it will be a bit before I get a chance to get down to posing some pics.

Sweet! The only problem is I don't have a million dollars to buy all the merchandise that is coming out because of TDK! But I already have the Two disc special edition with the 72 page comic!
