That's whY I think it'd be awesome if the new DVD had a feature where you
could turn on/off the voice overs OR the "happy" ending. So you could have
no VOs but "happy" ending, or . . .

Totaly amazing! I +NEED+ a DVD player.
I totally disagree. Blade Runner is a film, that gives you so much control over
what you see it practically makes it a computer game. I think it would be best
if it just had the Director's Cut and the Original as seperate things, that'd
be enough to float my boat.

Oh, come now.. it can be summed up very simply:
In the OV there's the big VO which isn't in the DC because many consider the VO
in the OV a bunch of BS. Of course in the OV (with the VO) and the DC the
characters still have the same MO and they'd probably keep this MO in any other
version besides the DC and the OV (with the VO).
If Lukas could please clarify this in the FAQ we can get this OV (with VO) and
DC BS sorted out ASAP!

An excellent suggestion! I'll work on that one.
But I must admit you kinda lost me there in the acronym storm... what was
"MO" again?
I'm going to butcher this spelling.. but MO is "Modus Operandi" which basically
means "Motivation" or "Target"... like Roy Batty's MO was to get more life
(father).
We could argue that PKD and RS had different MOs regarding BR. RS's MO in the
DC was to make RD a Replicant and therefore go against what PKD set forth in
the original DADoES. So consider BR (DC but not OV [with VO]) not one with
DADoES but rather two beautiful masterworks all their own.
Am I clear with everyone?

Huh?
I think that what the original poster wants to know is:
1) U.S. Theatrical Cut (with VO and happy ending)
2) International Cut (with VO, happy ending and a few seconds of extra
violence)
3) 1992 Director's Cut (no VO, no happy ending, with unicorn scene)
4) Workprint (aka Nuart Cut, with several different or alternate shots and
lines of dialogue)
...and the few other minor variants that Paul Sammon discusses in Future Noir.
Before posting, a new BR fan should take it upon themselves to read the FAQ.
But before even that, they should absolutely, without fail, read Future Noir.
Uhm... OK. I have no complaints. Thanks for explaining. :)
"modus operandi" - modern Latin, meaning "mode of operating". Either
referring to "the way in which something operates" or "the way in
which a person sets about a task". Often used in criminology to
describe the characteristic traits perpetrated by a particular
criminal in the execution of a series of crimes.

PMFJI - AYSOS? AWGTHTGTTSA? (IIIO) FWIW, AFAIK, (and IIRC), the US
BR OV was a little shorter than the non-US BR OV, (which I have on PAL
VHS). Of course, both contain the VO. But I think the DC BR, (no
OV), (I have on NTSC DVD), was the same everywhere. Then there is the
WP. And of course rumours and hearsay about various other versions
that may or may not have actually been shown in cinemas, (but DBEYR).
IMNSHO, the BR DC is a little better than the BR OV, but both are
better than DADoES, but only because they are A1 - not to say DADoES
isn't pretty good too! (BWDIK? - just my POV) OTOH, I can't forget
the VO when I watch the DC. OBTW, the BR SE may be better than all of
them, IYKWIM. (Hoping it is released ASAFP! - depends on TPTB.)
