V for Vendetta 2 disc $13.99 Amazon

I did a quick search and didn't find any info on this. Pretty nice price for those who haven't picked up this great title. Personally though, I 'm still holding off for the eventual HD release.

I think $13.99 was how much the 1 Disc sold for on release day - I paid $18 for my 2 disc from CH, so this is a great deal

I'm guessing that will be the 1-disc version.

I'd been holding on to a $25 gift certificate for a while, and this was a great way to spend some of it!

Thanks, OP!

Sorry for my noobness, but what makes the 2-disc version special? Is it worth getting that instead of the cheaper one?

Thanks, but that link didn't tell me much about why the 2-disc version is any better.

The 2-Disc just has more features probably, that's all.

I see many stores in my area still selling the 2 disk set. The local BJ's Wholesale Club has loads of them. Something tells me this set was not produced in limited quantities. Why so many of this title but not nearly enough United 93 or Munich? Dvd companies don't make sense sometimes...

Did you even read it?

The extras that fill out the two-disc set are better and more thoughtful than the EPK filler that often clogs new release special editions. There is no commentary, sparing us the grief of listening to tired creatives trying one more time to express themselves regarding a project that they're probably sick of thinking about. You can't expect anybody who just finished a picture to have a good perspective on it.

The Making-Of story has nice input from the eager director McTeigue, while a separate feature on the design will impress art students that enjoy the details of how a film like V for Vendetta creates a consistent world. Even better are two featurettes on contextual issues. Remember, Remember is a look back at the historical Guy Fawkes and his actual Gunpowder Plot of November 5. England Prevails is an okay look at the world of serious Graphic Novel comic books, of which V for Vendetta is a prime example.

Finally, there's a Trailer and a Cat Power montage, that turns out to be a music video.

^^ Yeah, I saw that, but it says a "making of", a "music video", and a trailer. If that's it, then why are people paying more for this?

This link shows the back cover of the single and 2-disc versions, so you can see all of the differences.
