It's not like Inception didn't release an impressive set of posters leading up to its July release.  It did.  Very much so.

But the DVD drops in just under a fortnight, on December 7th.  As part of the promotional push, Warner Bros. has been releasing a few odds and ends through the messaging service SnapTag.  The latest odd (or end, if you prefer) is an alternate poster that was heretofore unreleased.  It's worth a look after the jump.

SnapTag promises at least two more bits before the "Final Kick" on 12/7.  Check out the site for details.
