2 Disc Cars Coming (to France) in June!

[Buzz Lightyear]

According to a French site, The Pixar Room, Disney has set June 6 as the release date for a 2 Disc Collector's Edition of Cars on Standard Def DVD in France. No word on when it'll make it's way to North America, but I'm predicting sometime around then. I'm predicting that the date will be either June 5 or 12, but I've already heard that the Blu-ray (which was confirmed as a 2 disc set by the all knowing Digital Bits a few weeks back) is on it's way on June 5, so I think it'll be day and date with the Blu-ray. I'm hoping I'll have a Blu-ray player by then but if not, it's good to see that Disney is finally giving Cars the treatment it deserves. Here's a link to the original article, but warning, it's in French which I can't read that much but from what I know it says 2 discs and June 6 (also, warning the cover art looks terrible, but hopefully they fix it for R1):

This will probably be the one of the first DVDs I'll ever double dip on (hopefully Ratatouille just gets a 2 disc in the fall and not one of these again).

It would be so lame if we don't get a 2-disc on standard DVD here.

It most certainly would. This is my second favorite Pixar film and it is bogus that it is the only one without a 2-disc set. Thanks for letting us know, Buzz Lightyear.

According to the thread in the International Forum

This release has some French specific extras, so it doesn't automatically mean the US will be getting a 2 disc set.

I was out shopping today and came home with a Cars 2-disc collector's edition in tin box that opens like a book....

I have NO idea where the heck it came from, nor have I ever read or seen about this. I can confirm it's 100% real.

any idea where this comes from? It's not french. It's all in english. did it drop from heaven? the tin box is gorgeous.

[update]

okay I just found out this dvd was released in the US as a Walmart exclusive. Wich had a bonus disc containing at least some (probaply all) of the extras also found on this AU edition. Though the extras are fun and there's no logical explanation why they couldn't have been included on the standard dvd, it's nothing special. Still, it's a better set than the lame 1-disc.

I know. I held off on buying the single disc release. Waiting for the hopefully inevitable 2-discer!!
