Excenllent!
Another title I have been holding off buying the current edition.
Hopefully Warren Beatty will participate in the extra.

Finally! This flick is fantastic...but not for the violence. Been waiting for this one for almost a year. Must buy for me. The ultimate edition sounds cool.

I think I might just spring for this. The Troy UCE had incredibly beautiful packaging and extras, even if the film wasn't what I expected. I can even show this to my grandmother too, and she rarely watches DVD's. Excellent!

Ultimate Edition is an easy choice for me on this one.
But add me to the list of people disappointed with the lack of a commentary track. Surely there was a critic or film scholar they could have gotten to record one, considering how important the film is and how highly regarded it is among so many film historians.

You can never make everyone happy.
Count me in as happy that it's coming out.
