We’re a couple of weeks away from getting our hands on the Blu-ray version of Objectified, the second part in Gary Hustwit’s fantastic design trilogy. Following hot on the heels of the 2007 hit, Helvetica, Objectified is “about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them.” And Plexifilm has gone the distance and designed some fantastic objects on and with which to release their film. If you want to celebrate Objectified beyond enjoying the Blu-ray discs native high-def resolution presentation of the film, you can spend an extra $75 or so for the limited edition USB or DVD versions. Both versions come packaged in an anti-static bag, filled with five letterpress mini-posters and an Objectified badge designed by Build, plus a color C-print of a still from the film signed by director Gary Hustwit.

As cool as this packaging might be and as cute as that USB stick is, the film on it is only presented in standard def. I’ll stick with my 1080p Blu-ray disc, thank you very much. Check out the details:
