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.

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