But maybe it'll be a flipper, like they did with Schindler's List... Oh man, that would be BAD!

Universal being the "cheap and easy" incompetent bastards they are, could very well screw this up. Hopefully, it's a flipper with only the extras on one side. But, to be safe, I'll definitely hold onto the current version just in case.

The film would still be spread across two disks though wouldn't it. The problem is those Spanish and French 5.1 soundtracks. I just can't accept a film being disrupted just so that someone can watch a 5.1 dub in another language to what the film was originally recorded in. Either let them make do with subtitles, or release another disk with just the Spanish and French soundtracks in 2.0 Surround or something. They could either include this extra disk in the same pack, or release it separately. After all, they're taking the time to release a separate full screen edition of this Anniversary Edition.

It's better to have 2 DVD-9 with full disc artwork than to have 1 DVD-18 that can get greasy fingerprints easily.

If the news of a dual sided, dual layer disc is true, I will definitely be holding on to my current version. I tend to get fingerprints on dual sided discs, even though I am extremely careful.

)regardless of the quality of the new set, people who don't yet have this movie are in a good spot: either a anniversary set with some extras or a price drop on the original version. personally, i don't think the original transfer is as bad as many people make it out to be. sure, it could use an upgrade but i don't find it distracting as some people do. don't let that keep you from buying an older version of the release if the new set doesn't live up to expectations.

i dont understand the big deal of the DVD being dual sided as long as the movie is on ONE side of the disc and the extras on the other side.. I actually think this would be better than having 2 separate discs.

Not if you have parkinsons disease or other diseases that make it tough to hold things. It becomes very easy for a dual sided disc to become completely scratched or dirtied on the top of the disc.
