Quake3World

Now I don't know much about dvds and what not but I was considering purchasing this film. Just a few questions:

(1) Do you think there is going to be a special edition coming out soon? If so, when?

(2) is it better to just wait til it gets out on blu-ray/hd-dvd. when is that suppose to happen?

crap movie

I'm going to be getting Batman Begins, Batman, and the second one with Michelle Phiffer.

Waiting for the new storage mediums? No. They should be widely available to consumers in (early maybe) 2006. But you wanna drop $500-1000 on a new player?

All the rage these days is about making special editions to sqeeze the extra 10$ out of your pocket. This movie will probably have one too. If that's what you like, then go for it.

thanks for the responses. when do you think the special edition will come out?

anyone going to get the dvd?

I wont be getting the DVD.

I'm sure an SE will come out and i bet it will be just in time for the Holiday season just like Sin City.

FYI, this was supposed to be one of the first HD-DVD titles that was going to be playing in fabled HD players this year.

Blu-Ray will eventually win this one. mark my words.

by the holiday season--that soon? thats insane.

i didnt know they were already selling hd-dvd players. or is that why you say "fabled"?

sorry for all the questions.

Currently in my Amazon shopping cart:

Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) - Christopher Nolan; DVD
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Widescreen Edition) - Garth Jennings; DVD
Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Special Edition) - Stanley Kubrick; DVD
Blade Runner (The Director's Cut) - Ridley Scott; DVD
The Dead Zone - David Cronenberg; DVD
Poolhall Junkies - Mars Callahan; DVD

oh and the non dvds
Bringing the Empire Back Home: France in the Global Age (Radical Perspectives.) - Herman Lebovics; Hardcover
Batman: Year One Deluxe Edition - Frank Miller; Hardcover

I'll buy it on DVD, quality film! bring on the sequel.

It was definitly the best batman film by a mile

they're not selling them. hd-dvd got pushed back until next year. so much for their "leg up" advantage they would have had over Blu-Ray.

No, the year one hardcover is a combo save 3 dollars deal if you get the batman begins dvd too... i'll probably remove it before i buy all that crap because it pushes back the shipping date by "1 to 4 weeks"

Killing Joke :icon14: :icon14:

I'm definitely going to wait on blu-ray vs hd-dvd. Especially with that bollocks about having to have a "certified" monitor >:-E

it might take a while for it to actually be rereleased on dh/bluray though

duh?

well yea but i mean one has to wait a significant time before its released. its not like "oh im waiting for the special edition"-type deal

like i said in an earlier post, HD DVD blew it.

life is too short to be bothered with buying dvds
rent/DL it, and even if its the best movie you ever saw, never watch it again and move on with your life
and besides studies show that 95% of men who got sex change operations have bought atleast 15 dvds/videos in their life beforehand

the best movies only get better if you watch them a 2nd time, or even a 3rd or 4th time

i've decided ill wait for the special edition :icon25:

yer, just rent it for now, or borrow it from your local library. buy the good version when it's released. i lol at people that buy it twice, ffs.

I will be getting the DVD.

THE 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION IS OUT NOW YOU FREAKS :icon33:

Just got it cuz I'm gay like that. Very nice. They will not release another 2-disc version before Christmas...not unless an abject retard is now the VP for marketing.
