Page 1 of I know, I know...yet another Book Of The Dead post but....

I have the R1 version with `fleshy book` packaging etc.

Today I have seen the R2 version in my local shop, this has not got the `fleshy book` packaging but is in a normal plastic case with the cover insert depicting the book of the dead look.

Thing is, the packaging on the version I have just seen lists `Within The Woods` as being on the R2 version. I was under the impression that it wouldn`t be included on any of the releases.

Does anyone know what`s going on with this release?

just got my R2 `fleshy book` version from Play this morning. According to the spec, the `Into the Woods` feature isn`t there. No idea about the other R2 version. I do know that my version stinks to high heaven though, and any ideas about getting rid of the heady smell of latex from your fingers would be greatfully appreciated - as I have to go home by Underground in 45 mins and people will stare, I know they will.

I know mate, the smell is `Evil`, sorry though can`t help ya...mine still stinks and I`ve had it about a month.

I`m gonna invest in the R2 version with `Woods` listed on the packaging just to see if it really is on the disc. If not I`ll take it back but if it is on then I`ll keep it ;-)

It`s not there. Someone else posted on another forum about this and it turned out that the cases on the shelf were not the ones being sold. The actual fleshy ones are to be found behind the counter. Was it V.shop that you saw these?

My local Asda store has the amaray case with the "Book of the dead"
printed cover,which has"within the woods" in the listings on the back.
But alas it`s not included on the disk or it`s listing`s.
Anchor bay must have had these promos printed before "within the woods" was pulled.

Yeah I know. I went last night to check it out and they are just display cases which must have been produced before all the `Woods` thing happened. Thought it was too good to be true.

Anyway, thanks for the comments etc.

So is it worth buying the R1 version for the Woods documentary???

Play have it at 27 quid ish but it`s lot of extra money....

Oh....Virgin R2 £19.99 HMV 30 secs away £24.99 Bar Stewards

There is no Woods documentary on the R1 release, well not the Book of the Dead version anyway but I think it may be on the Elite version which presents the film in it`s original aspect ratio (Full Screen).

Elite version?
Anchor Bay Version?
Book of the Dead version?

Is it just me or is it getting confusing????????


I was under the impression that the Woods documentary was on the R1 version, that was why everyone was complaining............

Unfortunately "Within The Woods" haven`t been released on any DVD, neither Elite nor Anchor Bay. "The Book Of The Dead" edition was to be the first DVD with this short included, but because of rights issues, it wasn`t to be.
