To celebrate that The Departed is available on Region 1 DVD today I have updated the site banner thanks to Will, who so kindly helps with all the sites banners. If you are in Europe, you only have 6 days more to wait until the Region 2 DVD is available.

The Departed is available in four flavors! It comes in single and double-disc editions each includes a 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, and English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. The only extra on the single-disc will be the theatrical trailer. The two-disc special edition extras include the theatrical trailer, nine deleted scenes with introductions by Martin Scorsese, which includes some great additional footage of Jack Nicholson, a Story of the Boston Mob featurette, and a Creating Criminal Cultures featurette. HD DVD and Blu-ray releases are also available for people who understand the difference and are willing to pay for it... i.e not me. You can read a detailed DVD review online at DVD Talk

Artwork for the Cover, front and back, of all four DVD editions can be viewed here. In addition I am posting samples of how the menu's look in the Deluxe edition. If you haven't ordered your copy yet, sacrilege! just kidding, you can mosey on over to amazon.com. They have a DVD trailer and over 40% off both the single and two-disc editions.
