The artbox is exclusive too. I just know I'm going to end up buying both SEs and I couldn't be more OK with that.

Happy with that
Thanks for posting this info in here (was about to do it anyways), I'll add it to the OP now
The difference is shot on film vs shot on video / created digitally. Anything shot on film can be mastered at any resolution you like because it's an analog image. Video means the resolution is determined when it's actually created.
Edit: beaten because my son was pitching a fit over his puzzle being stuck together lol.
It's true, I was just thinking of the art box as a given and more concerned with what's in the box as extras I guess.
Not a bad package I guess. Will definitely keep my pre-order.
Was hoping for something a little different, though. Soundtrack would have been dope.
Two art books!? Nice!!!
Was expecting the soundtrack too but them two art books are enough for me.

Got ya. The reason I brought it up is Funimation.com will likely have one that differs in art / design or both.

Art books are cool. I'm really curious about on-disc content, though.
Yea will it have a ton of extra deleted scenes or director behind the scenes?

Likely be the height / length of a DVD/bluray case to fit in the art box. Something like this I'd imagine:

<3 Cowboy Bebop, so many feels, that episode with Faye learning about her past with the
. I actually cried ;_;
And when Ed
Oh man, there shouldn't be a difference in quality between this and the pre-existing JP blurays right? I'd still buy this off principle or for a friend as a gift, it's a goddam masterpiece, and the movie is amazing too.
Can't praise it enough, and to think I put off watching it for years because I thought it would be overrated as all hell, couldn't be further from the truth.

leaves with that song playing "Call me, Call me"

If the Funi Edition comes with a soundtrack, you can bet your ass I'm gonna throw money at them.

I'm hoping for a rerelease of the NA edition of the movie with extras and a 5.1 sound option.

Didn't know about this(blu-ray of Cowboy Bebop).
I only started watching Cowboy Bebop a few days ago. On Episode 5 atm. Pretty good.

Only 70 bucks for the exclusive edition? I just might consider it.

Pretty sure Sony still has the rights to the movie in the U.S.
Pre-order kept for the Amazon edition - really, why wouldn't you at this point? The release is months away, there's plenty of time to cancel and it's likely the pre-order price will only drift higher.
For example, I pre-ordered the GITS 25th Anniversary blu-ray when it was first announced as it was less than $18. It's close to full price now.

Even if its a faye waifu pillow
Shit, was it really?? I have it pre-ordered but I missed out on that.
And yeah, I'm probably just going to keep with the Amazon order. Unless the Funimation set comes with a full soundtrack or something dope like that.
Yep, I got in at $18 as well.
And yeah if the Funi edition comes with a full soundtrack I'd be tempted, but there have been so many releases of the soundtrack over the years I could probably live without it if it means buying a bunch of other useless crap along with it.
How do you not already own the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. What have you been doing with your life.

The full soundtrack, including alternate and extra material, is quite a few discs - is it realistic to think they'd actually include the whole thing?
Whoa, really? No wonder it looks like it was made today.
I've been wondering this as well. It is one of the best soundtracks released. Ended up buying the discs separately, then getting the box set years ago. Was just listening to them the other day.
If they were going to add some kind of music disc, I would hope it would be Music For Freelance, it is one of the best remix CDs, and the 'broadcaster' is already speaking English, so would feel original to the set.
Probably not. Sounds like a clearance nightmare. JP music industry is all kinda of crazy.

If you don't care about the packaging, you might want to wait for the complete set that comes out in 9 days. The Vol. 1 and 2 Collector's Edition sets have some encoding errors on two or three episodes that are visible for a split second. Anime Limited did promise though to send out replacement discs to owners of the CE releases, once the complete set comes out.
this is excellent advice man, thanks, you saved my purchase. i don't much care for booklets and giggles so it's the best deal for me
I dunno =[ at this point it would be expensive to import all of it and the only box set I see on Amazon is $300.

There's an official, comprehensive Cowboy Bebop music box set? Or are you guys talking about the 5 disc (4 regular, 1 mini) "Boxed Set" which is more of a greatest hits with different takes on some tracks and some unreleased stuff? I own all the CDs including that set so I'm a little confused... and hope I didn't miss a release!

Yeah, it gets a little confusing all the different discs.
This is the one I'm seeing on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PH0Y0E/?tag=neogaf0e-20

There are so many bootlegs of that set it's hard to tell which Amazon listing legit.
I have a real copy (4 CDs + 1 mini CD + thick booklet, poster, etc) but the cover is different. I'm not sure of the silhouette variant was a first press bonus or is simply the cover of the bootleg.
Regardless, that set has a lot of dialogue and alternate takes of tracks. It's awesome but is only a small section of Bebop music.
If people want everything, as I did, you need a legit copy of that set PLUS:
OST1
Vitaminless
OST 2: No Disc
OST 3: Blue
Music for Freelance - this is a remix disc but still required owning in my opinion
Ask DNA - movie EP
Future Blues - movie OST
Cowgirl Ed - bonus movie disc
Tank! The! Best! - compilation with some game music
Space Bio Charge - Seatbelts / Kanno retrospective that has mostly old stuff but I think has retakes / variations. Own it, still not sure.
I believe that covers everything unique... At the very least it's what I own.
