Spider-Man 2, which version??!!
 

Ok, so this tuesday, you can pick 3 different ways to get your Spidey fix. Superbit, 2-Disc SE, or Giftset (which includes the 2-Disc SE). I will probably pick up the Giftset, how about everyone else?

2 Disc SE

Both. Had to try out this Superbit someday.

I'm getting both The 2 Disc and the Superbit but for now I'm only getting the Superbit (DTS here we come).

superbit here, not too excited about extras, just a good movie :)

Superbit

Superbit

Superbit for now.

I'll pick up a used/mint copy of the SE after ebay, half.com, hollywood video, blockbuster, etc... are flooded with them.

Wow, a lot of Superbit love. Are the reviews saying that it's clearly better in A/V than the 2 disc SE?

superbit. FK the extras.

I don't know yet I wonder how much better the tranfer is. I will probably go for Superbit.

Giftset for me. I'm a sucker for that crap :) Plus early reviews has given very high marks for the non-SB in video/audio.

I ordered the Superbit. I really wanted to see that 2-hour documentary, but I know I'll be kicking myself if I don't own the best-looking and sounding version of the film.

Damn you, Sony!!!

Superbit. I can just borrow/rent the second disk to check out the extra features, which I will probably only want to watch once anyway.

Ill wait for someone to compare the 2 disk against the super-bit....im only interested in Picture and sound...

so,LMK---quick;)

Same here Tommy, but I will more than likely stick with the SB unless there is barely any difference.

SE

SB for now. I might pick up the SE for the extras from columbia house sometime down the road.

Probably the SE since by the time I have a TV / Sound system capable of taking advantage of SB, ill have to buy the film again in HD ;)

I will be picking up 2-Disc SE

superbit

:hscratch: If you are only interested in picture and sound, then what comparison are you looking for? Superbit is your answer.

Pretty much where i stand as well. Don't forsee the funds to upgrade to components capable of seeing the Superbit difference any time soon, so it'll be the 2 Disc Special Edition for me.

2 disc SE

2-Disc SE for me since I'm a sucker for extras that I'll probably only watch once if that.

Well, except for the fact that not every Superbit has looked or sounded as good as one would think under that banner. In fact, there are many 2 disc SE titles that beat many Superbit titles.

Of course, it would be unlikely this time, seeing as they're being put out at the same time...

I'll probably wait for a review on SE vs SB first...

But then the SE at BB has a bonus disc with the "VH1 Goes Inside Spider-Man" feature. Is this feature any good?

2.5 is out early next year?

or atleast in 2007 when Spidey 3 comes out.

Superbit for me

The optimal decision would be to get either the Gift Set or 2-Disc AND the Superbit. The extras on the Special Edition are truly special and deserved to be watched.

I pre-ordered the Superbit. As others have mentioned, there will be a ton of used copies of the 2-Disc available for re-sale for close to nothing in a short period of time. I'll probably pick one of these copies up for the supplemental material. If one is willing to wait, I'm sure the price of the Spider-man 2 Gift Set will likely come done in price as well. The original Spider-man Gift Set came down in price in short order and can now be purchased for only $19.99 at Best Buy. Then there is the rumored Spider-man 2 2.5 version lurking on the horizon. I'm sure I'll be happy with my Superbit with it's optimal transfer and DTS until I decide on my options related to the other releases.

What are the extras on the SE? And are their any extras at all on the SB?

The extras on the SE are as follows:

Commentary by director Sam Raimi, actor Tobey Maguire, producer Ani Ahrati, and coproducer Grant Curtis

Technical commentary

"Spidey Sense 2" pop-up trivia track

Blooper reel

Four Web-isodes: original online featurettes

Train music video: "Ordinary"

Disc 2:

"Making the Amazing": A 2 hour 12-part documentary

"Hero in Crisis": a deeper look into Peter Parker and his personal battles

"Ock-umentary: Eight Arms to Hold You"

"Interwoven: The Women of Spider-Man"

"Enter the Web": groundbreaking multi-angle look behind the scenes

Behind-the-scenes look at the Activision game

Superbits do not contain extras, except for the Superbit of the original Spider-Man, it had a 1.0 Commentary with Tobey Maguire and J.K. Simmons.

according to Movie Gallery's PVD release schedule you will be able to get the 2 disc SE for 9.99 December 13.....I believe the buy 2 get 2 free will still be going on them so we're planning to pick up athe se then.

Superbit for me too.

i dont see myself watching all the extras more than once. Superbit for me!

Superbit.

The sound on the 2-Disc was pretty good, so I'll probably pass on the Superbit.
