I did not expect this either. In Germany the DVD is going to come with an Crystal Skull. I wonder if the UK BD will also?
The artwork is nice, its a cropped version of the teaser poster. Looking forward to this, I didn't think the film was that bad actually.

If the stats on the regional coding can be confirmed and it will play in any player, then I'll certainly be picking up a Blu-Ray player.
The movie may have it's faults, but it will still be cool to see it in Hi-Def.
