Well, that was then, and this is now. I found the Superbit Panic Room at my local store for $9.99. Considering this is a blind buy, and I don't even know if I'll like the movie as a whole, I didn't think this was too bad of a deal, so I picked it up. Superbit hasn't let me down so far. If I decide I want all the extra crap later, I'm sure the price of the 3-disc will go down by then.

I wouldn't be so sure. There never was a price drop on the "Black Hawk Down: Deluxe Edition" 3-disc set.

Opening week was probably the best you'll see this one for. I think you missed the Amazon "Buy Panic Room 3-disc, Get another Disc Free" deal, which would've lowered the price considerably if you didn't have one of the other discs they were offering.

But then again, this leads back to the beginning of this thread, in which I was wondering why I would want to spend $35 (or less, perhaps) on a movie I hadn't even seen yet, just because it has a "treasure-trove" of additional features, that, depending on how I felt about the movie itself, I may not even be interested in watching.

Since my last post, I did finish watching the movie, and it wasn't too bad, but not, IMO, worth picking up a 3-disc set. I will enjoy my Superbit version for what it is, and it now has its place in my collection.

...and they all lived happily ever after.

The End.
