Tha Freak 03-31-06 12:28 PM

will see the price difference...

why sometimes there a 3-4$ difference and sometimes it's like 10-15$ difference between single and double disk ??

Deadpool 03-31-06 01:28 PM

Double for me. Although I only watch them once, I really like looking at special features :)

ShagMan 03-31-06 01:37 PM

I voted for Neither, no desire to see it.

OldBoy 03-31-06 01:44 PM

this was not a great movie, so neither.

Raffurar 03-31-06 02:44 PM

I didn't get the chance to see this yet. And since the price difference is so large in an already expensive month, I'll be happy with a dts track and commentary as far as extras go for now. If this gets an extended version or I move to ONE of the HD formats, maybe then. Gotta save up for some tv sets in May anyway.

wageslave 03-31-06 03:11 PM

For $5 Extra I'll get the double. If it is $10 more I will get the single. I haven't seen the movie yet but at least you get a commentary with the one disk version which is pretty good.

The $25 Harry Potter 2-disk really pissed me off. I dig harry potter movies but frell Warner Brother for doing that - I bought the 1 disk for $15 and I'll keep an eye out for the 2 disk version at the pawn shops where it will be less than ten bucks.

matome 03-31-06 03:22 PM

Double for sure.

djones6746 03-31-06 07:19 PM

Without a doubt...the double. Originally had mine on order with Amazon for $23.26 but the overstock deal for $20.00 and change forced me to cancel my Amazon order. Extras look incredible and easily justifiable at the $20.00 price tag. My dvd buying has just about stopped as I will be buying up HD movies as they are released in the future. Movies such as Narnia are too tempting to pass up for myself so I can live with a double dip in the future. :)

Wick 03-31-06 09:23 PM

I'll be picking up the 2-disc set.

Either the double or wait for the extended edition.

starving dvder 04-01-06 06:33 AM

double

Maryang Palad 04-01-06 01:09 PM

Single disc for me. I don't think its worth $10 for the second disc.

jake_spade 04-01-06 04:13 PM

Suncoast Exclusive (The one with Narnia Map )

Squirrel God 04-01-06 07:38 PM

Neither.

I'm holding out for the extended version.

Dr. DVD 04-01-06 07:38 PM

2 Disc. Only saw it once in the theater at the midnight show, and haven't seen it since. Wanted to catch it again, but never got around to it.

Just Lurking 04-01-06 08:20 PM

Double

I will even double dip for an EE.

DEGRASSIFAN1980 04-01-06 10:34 PM

the amazon uk exclusive 2 disk version for me!

shadow panther 04-01-06 11:03 PM

narnia map?

got a pic?

teamwinfan 04-02-06 12:23 AM

I'm buying neither.. I want to see it, but I am sure some christian groups are going to be using sales figures to show "Christian buying power" like they did with the ticket sales, despite the fact I'm sure a good portion of the people that saw it, or will but the DVD are non-Christian. I will exercise my "atheist buying power", and watch someone else's copy.

RocShemp 04-03-06 03:32 PM

I want the two disc set and I will get the extended cut if one is ever released.

I'm picking this up at Suncoast tommorrow but I didn't know there was an exclusive version with a Narnia map. Didn't even see that in their website.

Nah, just buy PLANET OF THE APES [1968], a non-theistic movie if ever there was one, at the same time and you'll cancel out the Christian sales factor.

ianholm 04-03-06 04:16 PM

Double for me

EddieN 04-04-06 08:22 AM

Neither. Saw it in the theater and I wanted to like it. Didn't hate it I was just...underwhelmed, I guess.

The Void 04-04-06 08:48 AM

Double

Billyspunk 04-04-06 08:55 AM

Just got back from Walmart here in MA, they had Narnia 1 disk for $13.97, 1 disk plus book (Walmart exclusive) for $19.97 and the 2 disk SE for $24.50..I complete rip-off for the SE..$10.50 more for one extra disk they use to give away?

Giles 04-04-06 08:58 AM

same here, I'm gonna wait awhile until DigitalBits hears anything new about the extended cut.

Michael Corvin 04-04-06 09:42 AM

For those that think $10 for the extra disc is too much, are you aware of what's on it?

A couple of paragraphs from IGN: (Full Breakdown of Each Feature)

===================================================
Packaging and Extras
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe comes on two-discs in a latch Amaray case, which itself is contained in a handsome cardboard case. There are three inserts, two beautiful pieces of concept art and a foldout map detailing the features on the set.

* Commentary: Director Andrew Adamson and Narnia kids
* Commentary: Andrew Adamson, producer Mark Johnson, and production designer Roger Ford.
* Featurette: Bloopers
* Featurette: Discover Narnia Fun Facts
* Feature: Chronicles of a Director
* Feature: The Children's Magical Journey
* Featurette: From One Man's Mind
* Feature: Cinematic Storytellers
* Feature: Creating Creatures
* Feature: Anatomy of a Scene: The Melting River
* Feature: Creatures of the World
* Feature: Explore Narnia
* Feature: Legends in Time


When I say that the second disc is packed with "features," I'm not kidding. Some of these making-of documentaries last longer than a half-hour. They're in-depth, footage-filled features that not only give a little background on the movie, they make you feel like you were there while they were making it.

Obviously The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is packed. While not every feature is gold, almost all of them are fun and interesting. The features are incredibly beautiful, with amazing production values. There's nothing thrown-together here, and both fans of Narnia and younger viewers will love this set. After watching these features and listening to these commentaries, I have a far better understanding of the film than I thought I could ever have.
===================================================

So it sounds like the features run longer than the film itself, along the lines of the LOTR: Extended sets. This is why with this in depth of a set, I am doubting a bigger set will see the light of day anytime soon.

mzupeman2 04-04-06 10:13 AM

I'm getting the single. I really enjoyed this movie, wouldn't mind the 2 disc-er, but I am limited on money and would really like to pinch some penny's so I can surprise my wife with Dawson's Creek Season 6. It's her favorite show and she can't afford to buy it for herself this week.

JOE29 04-04-06 02:57 PM

Well I ended up getting the single disc, couldn't justify paying $26 for the extra disc, so I bought the single disc and threw in Guns of the Navarone and ended up paying the same amount for 2 movies instead of 1.

darkside 04-04-06 06:08 PM

My wife wants this one as always we will be suckers and by the two disc.

mike01 04-04-06 07:17 PM

Well, I relunctantly picked up the single disc, the 2 disk package was great and the features looked good but I was sucked into the BB pre order and I could see spending another 10 for the disk, I agree with most about the new pricing but I never was one to watch extras but I always bought the super duper edition until now, I guess Ive turned over a new leaf. Now if we could get everyone on the same page maybe the studio's would relize they priced the 2 disc too high and drop them 5-6 dollars!!

I don't think it worked. Narnia sold 4 million units in the first day of release.

I'm still on the fence but leaning towards the 2 disc.

JediMindTricks 04-07-06 04:18 PM

any updates/news on the extended edition?

would have gotten the 2 disc, but i'm holding out in case there will be one...

If you have a Tower Records store near you and answered a very short survey at Tower.com you can get the 2disc for $17.99.

Thats how I justify mine and now enjoyed having the Narnia 2disc Collectors Edition for $17.99

Save Ferris 04-07-06 04:35 PM

Got the double. I love it and if they come out with an extended version Ill buy that too lol

audiomixer 04-07-06 05:13 PM

:horsepoo: Neither...Awful film!
70's Disney with 2006 CGI!

QuikSilver 04-07-06 11:51 PM

I bought the 2 disk set tonight at Tower Records using the $5 coupon. I haven't seen the film so this was a blind buy, which I rarely do but I couldn't resist the good reviews and the price. Thanks to the OP for the $5 coupon. This was also my first time buying a DVD at Tower and it's great that they are being competitive with their prices lately.

It's just too bad nobody asked you what your opinion of the film was.

Heat 04-09-06 01:23 AM

I picked up the single version for my kids to give to another child, along with popcorn / soda / chocolate bar, for her 6th birthday party. The movie was $13.99 at Circuit City, $1 cheaper than Best Buy.

I'll borrow it back from them at some point, I would like to watch the movie (never saw it).

Even if I did want the movie for myself, I wouldn't have spent an extra $10 for just a bonus disk.
