Re: anyone notice the lack of "Spider-Man 2" Superbits at Best Buy?
 

I saw quite a bit at my Best Buy. A whole row on the shelf for them.

Superbit. Ill borrow someone elses SE to watch the extras once.

I grabbed 1 of the last 2. The last one was gone seconds later.

Were they trying to trick people into buying to FOOL Screen version by making the Widescreen version ORANGE this time and the Full Screen Version RED?

Has anybody purchased the Spider-man 2 DVD gift set? Could you please tell me if the Spider-man 2 SE inside is sealed or not? Thanks in advance.

The dvd in the Gift Set is sealed. It also has a slipcover.

yeah I was suprised it had a slipcover. nice touch. Great packaging too, I love the box and artwork.

While the reversal of the "Widescreen"/"Fullscreen" color coding on the cover from the first film is a shame, I have to say buying the DVD today was a surprisingly pleasant experience, and not for the low price and VH1 bonus disc...

No. It had to do with one thing:

It was 11 AM or so, so there weren't many people in the store
(Future Shop, the same as Best Buy here in Canada), but there were at least ten people who had the DVD in their hands, waiting in line to pay for it, and young and not so young alike, every one of them had the Widescreen version.

I almost said "Thank you" out loud to everyone for making the right, no, the ONLY choice, but that would have made me look like more of a fool than I generally am, so I left quietly, comforted to know that those people got it right.

The same thing happened with the Star Wars DVDs, so I know it could not have been a fluke.

Arrgh, the Best Buy on 6th Ave & 23rd Street (Chelsea) in Manhattan NYC sold out of SM2. I got there around 5:30 PM. They were all out. I saw some ppl with full screen copies in their hands but nothing anywhere else. This is also the same Best Buy that broke street date and was selling them last Friday. Except they were $19.99 cuz the $14.99 price didn't go into effect until today.

Oh well, I guess that I'll have to pick it up tomorrow.

I was set to get the gift box until I actually saw the thing. Same size as a regular DVD... which means the comic book reprint is a mini-comic book :(

It looks really cool, though... but I was hoping it'd be the same size as the first gift box.

after comparing versions at BB for about 20 minutes, i finally noticed the B2G1 deal for the superbits so i ended up getting that version. i will borrow my brother's SE to watch the features if i want to.

Superbit, here

Does the SM Superbit has a slip cover? If so, is it the standard silver color?

Nope. It's a glossy dark one with a webby motif. Looked absolutely cool. Might pick it up down the road.

Would still like to know how much better Superbit sounds compared the the standard WS version. If anyone gets a chance to compare, please post results.

So it is similar to how Sony released the Charlie's Angels 2 Superbit - no slipcover, no typical plain silver design of the superbit coverart.

Sony's commercial strategy is working. I bought both the superbit and the giftset. Well the film is worth it, that's for sure. And I do like it when giftsets come in 'normal' size. Much easier to store with the rest of your dvd's

Review on the SB version.

I posted in the other S2 - Demo thread that the Superbit is indeed amazing! That DTS track is a killer!

I picked up the SB copy yesterday and they had about 10 or so left.

The buy two SB and get one free was great!

There IS a slipcover... like the guy answering your question said, it's a glossy dark one.

Went last night to Future Shop and picked up the widescreen version. I wanted the Superbit but they told me that they didn't receive any copies of them which is unfortunate since they would have sold them for $22.99 Canadian for 11/30/04 only.

Text isn't scalable. It's unreadable on my 1600x1200 desktop.

Picked up my Superbit yesterday.
The Best Buy deal was too good to pass up.

I don't know what the big deal is with the superbit.

The superbit and the non-superbit look pretty much the same to me:
