1- Initial pressings of the Bluray had problems with the black levels. Currently, both the corrected, and uncorrected pressings are available for sale on Amazon. The picture above links to the corrected pressing. However, there are a few caveats with that. When buying form an Amazon third party seller, be aware that those sellers often list variations under the wrong listing so a third party seller could list a uncorrected pressing under the corrected listing. Further complicating matters is the fact that although the UPCs are different for corrected pressing (841887027380) and uncorrected (841887025669) the corrected pressing UPC is reportedly simply a sticker that gets stuck on over the old UPC. Therefore, used corrected pressings for sale may be indistinguishable from uncorrected pressings if the new UPC sticker was merely placed on the outside of the shrink-wrap.

NOTES:
This release doesn't carry over everything from the original 5-Disc DVD release but provides a good amount of old, and new, content. Make sure you read footnote #1 above if you are picky about your video transfers to make sure you get the pressing with the corrected black levels.
