Wow, (Infernal Affairs Trilogy HK R3) is still available? Is this the elegant HK LE set?

I'm not sure, but we're probably talking about a different release? Mine is a six-disc set with metallic print on the double-disc keepcases. Anamorphic widescreen, DTS-ES. I picked up the last copy on the shelf at HMV during Holy Week, and when I returned to Hong Kong six weeks later (my cousin wanted a copy), it was out of stock.
