Just found out there are new editions planned for these titles.

April 19th
Hellboy
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Resident Evil 2

May 17
Spiderman 2

Going by Sony's track record I can only assume what these new versions may be.

Hellboy (superbit) theatrical version
Resident Evil 2 (superbit) or extendend version
OUATIM extendend version
Spiderman 2 extended version

Pretty sure these were all announce quite a while ago.

Hellboy? Hmmm...they already have a pretty nice directors cut. But I can see them doing superbit versions.

Spiderman 2 Extended is being called Spiderman 2.5, Raimi said it will include little bits to a few scenes:

Yeah, I'm curious what they are doing with them also....Superbit probably, or possibly reduce the 2-disc to 1-disc....who knows.

I didnt know there was an Extended cut of OUATIM, I thought the current DVD was Rodriguez's cut.
I havent even seen the Theatrical version of Spidey 2 yet, so will watch that before 2.5

These are UMD titles for the PSP.

what?!

You down with OPP?

Does this help?

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE) will release four new titles on the Universal Media Disc (UMD™) video format that plays on the new PSP - (PlayStation® Portable) handheld entertainment system for the North American market. The announcement was made by Benjamin S. Feingold, President of SPHE.

The slate of action-packed titles includes XXX, Hellboy, Resident Evil 2 and Once Upon A Time in Mexico. These four titles will be released on April 19 with additional titles to be released monthly thereafter. SPHE will also release UMD™ videos for PSP™ in Japan starting in April with Europe to follow.

PSP™ sets a new standard as the first truly integrated portable entertainment system
designed to provide consumers with a comprehensive entertainment experience and to support multiple lifestyle applications, including games, music, movies, communication, and wireless networking. The UMD™ is a newly developed compact, high capacity optical format that can store up to 1.8 GB of digital data on a 60mm disc - or an entire feature film on a single UMD™ video.

Movies on UMD™ will be produced in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and encoded using
advanced AVC compression, which provides the type of picture quality consumers have
come to expect from SPHE DVDs. For added protection, a lightweight disc sleeve is
also utilized, along with advanced encryption technology for content security.

why yes, yes it does. Thanks.

Mike, I believe you are correct. XXX is also under the 19th.

I think I read that the first Resident Evil is also coming out, though from Capcom which is odd.

I don't know of xXx is being released for the PSP as well, but isn't that the date when the two-disc special edition comes out (in time to promote the film's sequel)?

So, should this thread be moved to the Video Game Forum?

Yep, UMD for the Sony PSP!

Well Sony should really fix the DVD page then.....stupid UMD

That doesn't answer what new version of Spider-Man 2 is coming out on May the 17th.
