I'm intrigued by that myself but, according to this site, it's discontinued but has superb sound and picture quality.

Yep I can vouch for that.

Looks and sounds great!

I picked up PLATOON and BLACK SWAN today,which has a 'clear' BD case with the wee 'Blu Ray' logo in blue.....

Ooh well I'll certainly be ordering a copy.

I've just had a quick look on Amazon.com and they are selling it for $9.99, so I'm not quite sure why the review site thinks it's discontinued.

I couldn't wait and have just ordered a copy. I also ordered Black Swan from Bee.com for only £14.99.

That edition may have been discontinued, but there's 2 others featuring the exact same disc. A recent digibook edition and a lenticular slipcover edition.

Id be very hesitant to call the picture superb. It's a worthwhile upgrade, though.

Best version of it I've seen.

I can agree with that.

You own the same version BD?

I prefer the old 'Arnie' artwork to those above right enough.....

Yeah, I got that slipcover one (which under the cover is the same original release.)
If I didn't already have it I'd pick up that mediabook version... and maybe still will if I see it on sale somewhere
