hmm...well, is the anamorphic transfer at least better than the region 1 nonanamorphic transfer?
i watched that again recently and it just looks plain bad on a large display. barely passable.

for that $$, i think i can conjure up some patience and wait for a region 1 SE. i just can't believe they won't reissue this dvd with a good transfer and special features.

Considering every other DVD of Fincher's has gotten at least 2 discs, and the fact that this is arguably his best work, makes me angry. I plan on getting the Criterion LD w/in the next month and ripping all its supplements and whatnot and constructing my own damn 2-disc SE. Now to buy a LD player...

Then you have to get a very good player...etc etc...
Luckily I picked mine up during a clearance sale and got it for about $10. Haven't made that 2 disc set yet though. And unless Criterion leases out the extras, these will never be seen.

I already copied my Criterion LD onto DVD-R. For archival purposes only, of course. I still own the LD, so I'm legal.
The Criterion LD RETAILED for $100 (welcome to Criterion LD), so finding it for $100 or less really isn't that bad. I mean, it's bad when you're used to DVD, but for those of us that collected Criterion LD, it's normal. I got Criterion's Bram Stoker's Dracula LD (great disc) for a song at $25. But that's not as in demand as The Game.

Good luck with that. The Criterion LD was one of the last produced and will run you AT LEAST $70-100 on Ebay. And that's if you can find it.
Then you have to get a very good player...etc etc...

Criterion only released one edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula on LD, the deluxe CAV set with commentary and hours of supplements. The CLV movie-only edition and the CLV "Collector's Edition" with a documentary were both put out by Columbia TriStar.

The CAV one? Criterion released two edition: a bare bones and a loaded SE. Sounds like you got the bare bones, which I think included just a documentary.

Got the fully loaded Criterion edition. And as Josh said, there is only one.
