All this can be yours
The first printings will include a slipcase and 32 page booklet with a retail price of 49.98 (you should be able to find it cheaper).
What extras will appear? So far it looks like the teasers and tv commercial have been included. Katsuhiro Otomo's complete storyboards for the movie will be included as well.

Awesome for anyone who wants it but i`m already happy with my collector`s edition DVD so i dont really care :)
I have the collectors edition too (are we talking about the one in the tin case?). Still, I've become picky since I got an HD-TV and our local theatre has digital projectors. It gets hard to go back.
I presume the soundtrack is going to be re-mixed (for both the Japanese and English versions) to Dolby DTS and 5.1. Hopefully, with the recent changes to the Blu-Ray version (BD-Live) we'll be able to, say, watch with movie with the storyboards playing as a picture-in-picture.
192 kHz 24bit Japanese Dolby TrueHD 5.1 language track and 5.1 English. Not sure about the picture in picture for the storyboards but it'd be crazy if they didn't do that.
Akira goes blu-ray I really care for neither unless they are free, akira was not only kinda boring its the first anime to put me to sleep, sorry, the visuelks are pretty but the story was wretched to me.
I enjoyed Akira. It was one of those that everyone would say "you have to see this movie." I liked it but don't think it's the greatest movie of all time. And yes it did have some sweet visuals.
G-Man and I just watched Akira again last night and It's still awesome. Watch this movie and then compare it to live action movies from the 80s and you will see what I mean. Akira is to anime as The Watchmen are to comic books.
It'll probably be cheaper at best buy, I know Gun Vs Die Buster was. SO WANTING.
I do think it was ahead of its time. Compare it to the other dribble that was put out at the time. I get that the story might not be for everyone but it's worth seeing. Whether you spring for an HD version, that just depends on your personal tastes and if you have a Blu-ray player (they are going down in price).
i already have Akira on DVD so i will only get this if there are some really good extras.
