Just wondering if the 2-Disc CE is indeed worth it if I don't have the first incarnation. I read the reviews and mostly pan it because of the first release already and not too many extras on the 2nd, but what is there seems interesting.

Can anyone enlighten me further before I make the purchase? Thanks.

Well, basically, if you don't have the first one, go for the CE. If you already have the first one, you better be a ginormous fan of the film to get the CE. Me? I'm, well, a ginormous fan of the film.

Later.

If you have not seen it, you may just want to rent it. I did not really care for it. Sold my copy because though it was well made, I did not forsee me watching it again.

I'm wondering the same thing. The thing is, there are alot of bargains with the original version for 10 bucks. In that case, should I get the original?

There's a sale for Eternal Sunshine: The Regular Edition for 9.99 at Circuit City or Target I think.

That's enough for a blind buy. It's got enough features really.

OldBoy

i have seen it, twice actually, and now want it.
where did you see it for $10?

OldBoy

neither place i checked has it for that...where did you see that?

scarredgod

the regular edition is part of the 2 for $20 sale at Circuit City starting Sunday. since there is a newer version out, i expect to see this at a cheap price most weeks in ads until theyre gone.

Anyone know if Circuit City carry the 2 disc?

OldBoy

i really need some more input on this...i am so torn!

Mr. Cinema

The single disc has DTS and DD 5.1 tracks and anamorphic enhancement. What else do you need to watch this?

OldBoy

that really doesn't make much sense considering the 2-Disc does as well.

ScottsDvds

It's part of the 2for20 sale starting Sunday at Circuit City. I have both and if you're a big fan of the movie get the two disc. The single disc is a great presentation of the film.

OldBoy

thanks. so the 2nd disc is worth it if you really enjoyed the movie, huh? i always find when i like something a lot i want more of it and the 2nd disc of extras seems like it would fit me just fine.

I'm ginormous as well.

Basically if you want more extras, get the CE. Otherwise save $$ and get the single.

Decker

I'm a big extras fan so I'm tempted (and yes, Mr Cinema, we can all read your sig, so why post it in every DVD thread )
Having said that, and as much as I loved this film, I can't really justify paying almost three times as much for the exta disc (though deleted scenes might tempt me, especially seeing Jim Carrey's old girlfrind). I'm hoping to find the CE cheap.

garyb

3x as much? It's at most twice as expensive as the standard version.

Drexl

The packaging could be another factor. I'd rather have the full cover art than the shrunken-down picture with the border around it. Or is it just a slipcase? If the CE comes in a digipack I'd rather have the keepcase of the original edition.

Dabaomb

the 2-disc CE comes in a digipack.

Decker

OK,
Price of Regular Version this week at Circuit City $10

Best Price Available for Collector's Edition (DDD) $23.39

So that's 2.34 times as expensive.

However, if one figures in the possibility of buying a previously viewed disc at Hollywood Video using a Buy 1, Get 1 Free coupon, it could essentially be had for $7.49, making the Collector's Edition 3.12 times as expensive.

garyb

Since you're talking used vs. new, then yes that's possible.

Jay G.

Actually, the best price available seems to be from DVDSoon at $ 21.59 shipped.

OldBoy

many places have it at $19.99...target, BB (in store), Walmart, among a couple others.

Decker

For $19.99, I'd probably bite. I took in a recent 25% off coupon to Borders in hopes of getting the CE annd they wanted $29 for it. Yikes.
