It is strange looking at the comparisons between the Optimum and Sony Women on the Verge of A Nervous Breakdown, the Sony looks sharper, but also looks to be heavily cropped on three sides and with only a sliver more picture on the righthand side.
That bonus disc sounds great, but I can't justify rebuying all of the films just for that! Instead I put my money towards the two disc of Volver and finally getting the Optimum Almodóvar Volume 1 set!
I'm still kicking myself for not getting in on the deal of the year. Oh well, it's still a pretty good value for the money, even if I have to find a home for my Talk to Her standalone.
Shit, go figure that this is the only time I'd ever think of returning to Columbia House's claws. For members, I would offer $50 shipped if you could tack on an extra order (and if it gets through without them cancelling, something tells me they are less customer friendly than Amazon).
The Bits are reporting a 4/3 street date for Volver. I bet Sony is taking this long to get it out just to see if it will win any Oscars and change the DVD cover accordingly.
I wonder if the US edition will have 2 discs like the all the european editions seem to be getting.
That's usually only a concern with pre-orders when a retailer has a long time to correct a price mistake. This is in stock, so any orders should be processed quickly. I don't think it would be legal for them to demand anyone pay above and beyond the price on the site after a transaction has already been made.

But the product page states that it's a 4 PK (sic) set. Is this the real 9 disker one or a different boxset? I know that the release date of this product coincides but nothing else seems to.
Yea, it's gotta be the same one, and the pricing is quite obviously because Tower thinks it's a 4-disc set. I just ordered, so let's hope it ships quick -- Tower "reserves the right" to correct "pricing mistakes" even after orders are placed.

Well, I ordered mine too (unbelievable deal -- I got it for roughly €28 which is the bargain of the month!) and I really hope it goes ok. Let's wait and see.
