Saw this over at Bluray.com:


Lionsgate FilmsLionsgate Home Entertainment will release a 15th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray of Good Will Hunting this summer. Directed by Gus Van Sant (Milk), Good Will Hunting tells the story of Will Hunting (Matt Damon, The Bourne Identity), a blue-collar janitor whose hidden mathematical brilliance forces him to choose between the rough South Boston community he grew up in and a new path of intellectual discovery.

Nominated for nine Oscars at the 1998 Academy Awards Ceremony (including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor), the film netted two - one for Ben Affleck (The Town) and Damon's original screenplay, and one for Robin Williams (Insomnia) as Will's psychologist and mentor.

Another double dip on Lionsgate.

MrSmearkase

I would upgrade for the new features.

E Unit

No thanks. Already have the previous release. I'm just waiting for Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season to complete the saga.

Lionsgate is becoming the Anchorbay of the early 2000's with all their double dips.

Lastblade

Or Good Will Hunting 2: Apples and Oranges

GWH is one of my favorite films, so I will upgrade. Sucker is I.

JGaitan82

Nah, I don't think I will be getting this movie. I saw the first one when it was first released in 1997 and it has been like a 1 time viewing. Not worth it.

gryffinmaster

Considering the way Lionsgate's titles tumble in price, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't eventually upgrade the current Blu-ray.

At the right price, they'll get me sooner or later.

mike07

This was a decent flick, but not really worth a double dip. I don't watch the special features much (or at all) anyway.

wd40cloud

I'll be picking up since I'm still rocking the Alliance BD release with 1080i and no features from a few years back

TheBang

Well, that was a quick double-dip. The new features sound substantial though (quality-wise), so I'll double-dip.

However, with an SRP of $14.99, I expect this to tumble to very low prices within a year, so I'll wait until then. Or maybe a Best Buy Upgrade & Save. That would probably knock it down to something like $5.

MTRodaba2468

I picked the current one up pretty cheap. Considering how cheap Lionsgate titles tend to go, I'll upgrade once this one goes on sale...

MisterHowie

I like that plan--thanks for thinking of it "out loud."

Mr. Cinema

BN.com currently has this for $8.99. I used a 20% off code I received via email and got it for $7.68 shipped.

BuckNaked2k

Word! Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

All right, you talked me into it.

jjcool

Definitely may consider upgrading my DVD version. Seems to be a pretty loaded release.

Noonan

Just ordered a copy and added a few books to get free shipping. Good deal.

TheBang

It's on sale at Best Buy (online and instore) for $7.99 now. The new feature is 1 hour of retrospective interviews with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Gus Van Sant, Robin Williams, and even Kevin Smith in HD. Supposed to be pretty good.

I think I will double-dip at this price, since I'm a big fan of the movie.

OldBoy

i happily upgraded, eventhough bought other less than a few months ago. thanks for BB price mention!

jiggyblau

Ditto.

Ropes Pierre

7.99 price matched at amazon right now

zyzzle

Damn, why won't Amazon also match WARGAMES at $7.99?

whotony

Is this now finally anamorphic?

E Unit

Nope.


Yes - it's now anamorphic. As is the first blu release. I caved and got this release as well for the price.

bunkaroo

Neither Blu-ray is anamorphic.



They're both native 16x9.

Lastblade

For $7.99, I couldn't say no. Time to sell the regular edition.
