I don't care if it was open or closed matte, I just want a new 16x9 transfer. The old one was straight from the LD master with all the problems that brings.

DavisDVD says that there will be an audio commentary and trailers. I kinda wish there was the deleted scene pictured on the inside of the current DVD. But oh well at least we're getting a new remastered widescreen transfer. The current transfer isn't very good at all.

This will be the only DVD I've had to replace, and gladly so.

The version of European Vacation (yes I do actually like that one) that's out is widescreen is it not? Is that one being replaced by a new special edition too or is it just being reissued?

I'm sure we can expect a box set of all four of them at some point now right? Sorry guys, I'm a little excited here, this is some of the better DVD news that I've heard in awhile.

European Vacation was done right the first time, though it took a while to arrive on DVD. It's in widescreen.

Vacation WS is coming in August, Christmas Vacation WS in October, and Vegas Vacation WS at some point later this year.

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be any more surprised than I am right now.
