What you wanna know? It'll be a tin, with a couple of discs inside it - you've already listed the specs...

Yes, I bought the Total Recall tin from absound. As Baps said, the discs come in a tin. In this case, it was a round tin and it just sits in a cardboard sleeve. Was sent in their regular posting box.

Gromit - I think he means Anchor Bay not ABSound. :nuts:

The [*****] TR tin wasn't from Anchor Bay, their ones tend to be the size of a small house. :p

Anyone else wonder why they release a special edition of this at all? Why a CD with Queen music? If I wanted their music CDs I could buy them in any store. And for that they want $25? Sure there are some stills and some videos on the special edition but nothing that warrants the price.

Anchor Bay are price pirates.

I would like to have a couple of documentaries about the movie instead. Why don't they have that?

Hopefully Play will price it at 17.99, as they did with the Hellraiser tin.

I would like the new version, but i'm not paying £20 for the 2nd version, when the 1st version is £10.

The additional extras, music cd and tin case arn't worth twice the price.

As long as the picture quality is better, i'll be happy with the basic version.

As a huge Queen fan, this release has me very excited. The fact that I love the movie is an added bonus, I'll be buying this to get some Queen videos on DVD and the extra Queen CD! Woohoo!

I want to know what the hell Friends will be Friends is doing on the disc, as it has nothing to do with the movie and doesn't appear in it. This seems like a real cash in exercise...

Any ideas people?
