Oldboy. Final Edition. R3 Korean DVD. December 10th 2004.

There's a good chance you're sat there now thinking "Wha?!?! Another Oldboy DVD? Already?!?!" like i was a minute or two ago. So recently we've had the "Ultimate Edition" which was apparently botched-up and damaged by the people who shoved (literally) cardboard slipcases against sturdy copper studs (those holding the case together), and that has spawned a "recall" - see the details below.

Now, the high-definition telecine used in the Ultimate Edition has been used to create a new edition that's apparently got the same content as the original DVD, yet this time has a slightly different cover and case design. So, if you love the film, like "double-dipping" (don't tell the wife) or just want the best option if you haven't already bought it, look for the edition like the picture here. See a listing at koreandvds.com here.

The following posted in an edited form by Shintaro at DVDTalk.com forums (thanks...). Suggest people use the email address to confirm recall details just incase. A small section seems to be missing also.

Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise to customers for damage to the digipak caused by rivets in copper case of the old boy UE released on the 23rd of november.

Regarding this, we have decided to exchange the digipak for customers after reviewing the problem.

Customers can apply to exchange through eMail for given period of time, depending on the exchange application, we will send the new ones out when new digipaks have produced... further details fo exchange is outlined below.
