I'm a whore, and I found this for $9.99 at Best Buy (after getting $6 for my old edition)... so I pulled the trigger. But the lack of an HD version and the continued lack of any decent supplements for this film is perplexing.

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
i just got this the other day from a seller on half.com and even though the picture looks better, the 5.1 audio track does not. Like everyone else said, the special features are weak. This DVD was so light it felt like a bootleg and I wouldve thought it was if the sec stickers werent still on it (maybe it was the case) ??

What's with Warner lately? Did they lose some of their talent in the Home Video/DVD dept.? They used to be the major studio for quality SE's. Now all of a sudden, starting sometime this year, they're dropping the ball left and right. What gives?

The house used in the movie is actually in my town. I'm gonna have to drive by later and check it out again. Always freaks me out.

Just got Deliverance SE today and it felt cheap and flimsy just like Poltergeist SE. Even the cover art for the spine was similar. What happened to WBs solid 2 disc SE's ?

Abandoned 20th Anniversary SE?
Sorry if this is common knowledge, I've read through every Poltergeist thread that I could find.
I was browsing wikipedia when I came across this entry under Poltergeist's Home Video Releases

I know there was talk of a 2-disc SE before the 25th Anniversary Edition came out, but a 6 disc sounds pretty excessive. Can anyone corroborate this story? Has anyone even heard of this before?

A six disc prototype, from the abandoned 20th Anniversary Special Edition, surfaced on eBay a few years ago and still crops up from time to time. Special features included the The First Real Ghost Story and The Making of Poltergeist featurettes, screenplay, several photo galleries and Fangoria interviews, and the documentaries E! True Hollywood Story, Hollywood Ghost Stories and Terror in The Aisles. The 6th disc was a copy of the original motion picture soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.

Six discs sounds like overkill.
Blade Runner only got five DVDs, and there were like six different versions of it. And the people who made Blade Runner were all willing to talk about it.
