I quite like the cover, but a lenticular one that changed between the two would have been nicer... Its nice when we the buying public are warned before hand of these Ultimate Editions, ive been waiting for this to come out and it looks like a great package, hope its region free........

Then again, there's no mention of the Maximum Movie Mode, surely the flagship special feature of any & every release of Watchmen on BD.

I'm picking up a blu-ray player in the next few weeks and this is one of the reasons for the upgrade
