Just curious, but is it the original theatrical version where Spike says "sh*t" in the beginning of the movie? It's no big deal, but it was one of the things that stood out when I saw it in the theaters...

Considering how subpar Sony generally is, they'll have to do something spectacular to get me to double dip. But if it turns out as awesome as the movie release, I'll probably be suckered in.

Maybe they can finish releasing another related cartoon series they acquired from Rhino..... Nothing like releasing half of season 2 then pulling the plug.

I can't see sony going back and cleaning up and remastering the television series. While the Rhino sets are far from excellent, I doubt the Sony sets will be any better.

No kidding. I never bought the first half of season 2 because I read they were losing the license, but I'd love to have my GI Joe series complete.

Corporate ineptitude at its best!
