It seems pretty odd that a Soderbergh film is getting such a bare-bone release. All of the reviews so far seem to be very suspect of this having to do with HD-DVD or just Warner's attempt to milk a later special edition, but what's the story? Do I pick up Ocean's 12 on Tuesday or hold of for an inevitable special edition?

Cameron

if you like it get it...should be 15.99 most places....you can get 5-7 back at some of the better trade in deals if you need to later....enjoy it, if you liked it.

I say wait...and if you really really want to watch it again, spend the 4 bucks at Blockbuster and rent it. Personally, I thought the movie was boring and definitely not as good as the 1st one.

Maxflier

I agree,it wasn't nearly as good as the first one.I will be picking up this release because i never end up watching the special features and stuff anyways.

Cameron

just a note....not buying it...didn't see it....don't care about it....not a crap, just stating this so you can take my above advice for what its worth...also, i don't rent...ever

I'm one of the few who really liked "Ocean's 12", and would like to own it on DVD, but I'm definitely waiting for an inevitable S.E. I've been in this game for long enough to know better, and in the meantime, I've got plenty of other things to watch.

I may go ahead and pick up a two pack with Oceans 11. I liked 11 and never saw 12 so I don't think I will wait.

I am VERY dissapointed with this bare bones treatment, considering how packed the original version was as far as special features (which I always watch and enjoy, especially commentaries). I may pick this up eventually, but I will give it time first, and cross my fingers for a more appropriate SE.

I'm expecting a special edition. Most likely it will be a set with a new version of Ocean's Eleven.

As posted in a CC/BB/Target ad thread, CC will be giving away David Holmes' brilliant soundtrack with the DVD..

I will probably wait for a SE.

Your "advice" is worth crap. He's asking whether to buy this version or wait for another. I don't see what your "advice" has to do with that. I also fail to see how your renting habits are relevant.

Try not to thread crap.


As someone else mentioned, if you want it go ahead and buy it. If/when an SE comes out, just sell this version (or trade it in) and buy the new one.

It's not the soundtrack. It's a "Vegas Grooves" cd or something similar from Platinum Records (that cheapo label).

chipmac

Now that's funny. You're quoting Cameron and telling him not to thread crap and then following it up with a statement he himself had made. He was only following up his first statement with a qualifier that he's someone who hasn't seen it and doesn't care to and that he feels it's better to buy and sell it off than to rent something.

I'd buy this one. I haven't seen anything to make me think an SE is coming out later. WB rarely has multiple releases of the same title. When they do it's usually years after the first one was released. This is not Sony/Columbia Tri Star we're talking about here.

BB Reward Zoners can get 1 and 2 for $20, which I'm doing.

spartanstew

Well, that's embarassing. Obviously I thought it was his only post in the thread, as I generally don't pay attention to the names on the left, only the content.

My apologies.

Rogue588

ah. I stand corrected.

fumanstan

I'm buying it.

ruk

agreed.

Legolas

It's barebones and it's Warner -- an SE is a given. If it were Fox or Buena Vista, an SE would be 100% likely.

phatboy

but when is the question?

Drexl

Way to get people's hopes up, phatboy.

I'd say it will be a long time, if ever. I think we're more likely to get a re-release of the first film first, and the most likely time for that would have been when the sequel was in theaters or on DVD. That time has come and gone, so I don't think they're planning anything on these.

Seantn

I'm waiting for Ocean's 13.

QuikSilver

CC is selling Ocean's 12 for $7.99. Should I buy it or wait for a rumored SE? And where is this rumor coming from?

the action

A blockbuster near me had it on clearence for 4.99, so I went ahead a picked it up. I still like the first one better, but the sequel is entertaining.
