Inception Limited Edition - Triple Play (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy)

Whoever is reading this knows what Inception is and is probably wanting to buy the film, if they want to read a review then best go to Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB, but I'm here to tell you about "Inception: Limited Edition - Triple Play (Blu-ray & DVD & Digital Copy)".

It comes in a plastic case covering the metal briefcase that is bigger than the briefcase it's self obviously. The briefcase however is lighter than one would expect. Carved into the front is the title of the film and then under that is the clip which you undo to open the briefcase. In front of you after opening it is the Blu-ray box with a holographic slipcase. On the other side is the "Portable Automated Somnacin IntraVenous (PASIV) Device Instruction Manual MV-235A" which tells you how the fictional PASIV Device used in the film works, it's a nice tie-in book. If you take that out then under the book are five art cards that are about the size of a postcard. Two are posters from the film and the other three are stills from the film. Above that is a replica of Cobb's Totem as seen in the film. Underneath it says "INCEPTION" carved into the Totem. Next to the space where the Totem rests in the box are the numbers "528 491", a reference to the film of course. All of the contents are in a hard foam.

If you open up the Blu-Ray box you will see three discs. Two Blu-Rays and one DVD. There is a leaflet inside instructing how to get your version of the Inception Digital Copy. As with most Digital Copies they have an expiry date (05/12/2011, in a years time yesterday). The first disc (Blu-Ray) is disc 1 of 2. It is in black and white and has a birds eye view of a city but with "Inception" written in as if a building itself. The second disc is in colour and shows the Totem spinning on it's side. The third disc (DVD) is black and white too with nice relevent patterns on it.

Final note for people who don't own Blu-Ray players but are buying this boxset for the collector's items: the special features are on the second Blu-ray disc. The DVD disc contains just the film, no special features. So if you are a collector who wants the items as well as special features then I recommend buying this and the 2-Disc DVD edition.

Hi,
Regarding the Digital Copy - I ignored the web link that you are asked to go to on the leaflet and I opened iTunes on my PC, then clicked on "Redeem". I inserted the code number from the leaflet and this worked fine for me. The movie downloaded even though the code was supposed to have expired in 2011! Give it a try. (Movie downloaded from iTunes on 21st Jan 2013).
I agree with previous comments about DVD picture quality. Not great but watchable. Does anyone know if the replacement disc is still available in the UK? If so, how do I get one?

I ordered this from the US a week before Christmas and it arrived within 3 days with Amazon.co.uk's priority shipping, so in terms of shipping, it arrived extremely quickly to the United States.

The Blu-ray discs in this item (feature film disc and special features disc) are region free, so they will play on US blu-ray players. However, the DVD is region locked, so the DVD will not play on a US DVD/Blu-ray player.

The items in this case are great! I love the spinning top, art cards, and the Pasiv device manual.

Overall, if you are big fan of Inception, you will love this limited edition briefcase.
