Yay! I knew I didn't buy the "Special Edition" for a reason

Amen to that, buddy

Looks identical to the existing release, except that it's on 2 discs .

are u guys sure this is identical to the current release?

Isn't that Kevin Spacey commentary new?

I'll induldge just to be rid of the current flipper disc.

Kevin Spacey commentary is new. Think the "Secret Origin of Bryan Singer" is as well. I'm fine with the current version. This release has far more to do with Sony getting MGM's catalog than an improvement for the fans.

Oh, no I'm not buying there's supposed to be a HD version shortly.

No need to upgrade here. I may rent it for the Spacey comm.

I'm happy with the original, but yeah there probably will be multiple HD or BluRay releases.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release a new The Usual Suspects: Collector's Edition two-disc set on November 28th. The film arrives with an anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 & 2.0 tracks. All-new extras to this edition include an audio commentary with director Bryan Singer and actor Kevin Spacey, "The Secret Origin of Bryan Singer" documentary and "Keyser Soze: Lie or Legend?" featurette (now newly expanded).

Returning from the 2002 release are a commentary with Singer and writer Christopher McQuarrie, commentary with editor John Ottman, deleted scenes (with intros by Ottman), "Round Up: Deposing The Usual Suspects Parts 1 & 2" ("Pursuing the Suspects" & "Doin' Time with the Suspects"), "Heisting Cannes With The Usual Suspects" and a 1995 promo featurette, gag reel, trailers & TV spots and Easter Eggs. Retail is $26.95.

pass on this

A 4th dip? Fucking vultures.

Only third, I think

You thought wrong, dude.

1. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../dvdaficionado
2. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../dvdaficionado
3. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../dvdaficionado

and now 4.

Well, the second release was just a repackaging of the Polygram release to put the MGM logo on it, so I don't really think that one counts as a dip.

Same video and audio as the previous one. Fuck this new release.

Also discussed here:

The Usual Suspects

No upgrade for me.

I'll stick with the MGM special edition

Well it does.

ditto.

Since I only own this on VHS - always meant to upgrade it, just sort of got lost in the shuffle of other DVDs to buy - *and* there's Spacey commentary, I'll be getting this.

No it doesn't. They changed the cover...that's it.

That's like saying every movie that comes out in both Full Screen and Widescreen versions is a double dip, since the covers have a different colored bar at the top.

Changing the cover and nothing else does not constitute another dip. Sorry.
