I think the only thing that could convince me to double dip would be an edition without the narration.

I love this movie... but these pointless reissues are getting tiring. Especially now that HD is a reality.
Seems like a cheesy stunt to squeeze every last drop before the eventual HD release (which, of course, will be bare-bones... requiring an HD double-dip, etc.)

Anyone have a full comparison of the differences in the 4/5 versions?
If I recall, the first upgrade lost absolutely nothing from the first release, except for a 4 page insert.

I never got the last reissue of this (dread pirate or whatever its called) so perhaps I'll get this when it comes out, especially if it has stuff my current SE doesn't or it's cheap.
