That's amazingly good news, or at least it is for someone like myself who had agonized over purchasing this set at $200, deciding against it time and time again.
Such good news, in fact, that my "too good to be true" radar started sounding as I viewed the link, but my subsequent attempt at translating the key bits with the help of various Polish->English dictionaries would seem to confirm:
Is this just a price-drop, or are there any other differences that might impact someone like me? Like many of you, I'm mostly looking for the very best audio/video, and secondarily any English-friendly supplements that may be available. Does this set take anything substantial away from the much pricier initial release in terms of a/v quality (doubtful) or extras (more likely)?Dekalog Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego - Pakiet 6DVD

Discs 1-5 include 10 movies ( two-sided ) and additional materials to complement each movie. Archive Disc 6 is a collection with unique interviews - supplement and memories.
Different packaging, I presume? This may be preferable given that the initial release consisted - I think - of 10 or so separately packaged "episodes" that obviously would require ample shelf space.
So, let me know as I think this may be of benefit to all - if there's anything I've learned over the past few years, it's that my investment in a pricey import (especially an all-frills boxset) all but insures that Criterion will announce an even better domestic release on the following day.
