Another title I have been holding off buying the current edition.

Hopefully Warren Beatty will participate in the extra.

Finally! This flick is fantastic...but not for the violence. Been waiting for this one for almost a year. Must buy for me. The ultimate edition sounds cool.

Sad that there is no commentary. Still this looks like a good release.

Great! I held off on buying the current release for the SE. The History Channel feature sounds great. I'll be getting this on release day.

Too bad there's no commentary, but looks like a nice SE nevertheless.

A commentary is quite essential for great movies like this. I think I'll pass.

I figured that this would be a title that would get an SE eventually, so I've been holding off.

I'm glad that I did.

No current Warren Beatty or Faye Dunaway interviews?

I think I might just spring for this. The Troy UCE had incredibly beautiful packaging and extras, even if the film wasn't what I expected. I can even show this to my grandmother too, and she rarely watches DVD's. Excellent!

Ultimate Edition is an easy choice for me on this one.

But add me to the list of people disappointed with the lack of a commentary track. Surely there was a critic or film scholar they could have gotten to record one, considering how important the film is and how highly regarded it is among so many film historians.

It's usually not a matter of having resources... it's a matter of how much of a budget the DVD producer has to work with. As with any budget, you can't get everything you'd want and decisions have to be made.

You can never make everyone happy.

Count me in as happy that it's coming out.

I'm disappointed by the lack of commentary, but that's not enough for me to forgo one of the essential films of the '60s.

Damn, that artwork is awesome.

The ultimate edition looks sick. It will be mine.
