Here's one I certainly won't mind replacing my DVD with! It would be great if they put some additional extra features, too.

I remember when the DVD first got released. I thought it was so cool all the extras they had and the menus and all that. Now, all these many years later, it just seems quaint.

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Best film of 1997.

This is great news, especially since I was all ready to watch this in HD the other night on HBO only to find the aspect ratio once again modified by HBO.

I might pick this up. Not sure. I love the movie but I might have to wait for a price drop on the Blu Ray before upgrading. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going to do...

Don't waste your money. This is a terrible movie. About as entertaining as an episode of the Teletubbies.

Please please be good! For a minute I thought the added quotes in the title meant it was "special" like Poltergeist and Beetlejuice.

Dammit.

I've got to really be picky about which titles I double dip on - I don't have an HDTV yet, so I'm just using my computer & 22" widescreen HD monitor to play my Blu Rays for now - but this is definitely a title I'd love to have on Blu Ray!

I notice that the DVD is a 2 disc set. A 2 disc set has just been in Japan and I should have it by the end of next week. At the moment I have no idea what is on the 2nd disc yet!

Also go to the next page on the link the OP posted to find a poster that looks NOTHING like the poster for Wanted!

Please let there be a James Ellroy commentary on there. Those of you who have heard the man speak know how entertaining that could be.

I don't want to disappoint you but I saw what was supposedly a speclist for that and it had no new features whatsoever. It was the American DVD, just split up as a movie disc and an extras disc.

I notice the text in the magazine says it has some sort of commentary, so that's good. I'm hoping for an edited-together track with Curtis Hanson, James Ellroy, Brian Helgeland, Kevin Spacey and Guy Pearce (along with probably producers). Maybe they can nab Basinger too, but I don't know how she is about commentary.

I always have a feeling that what happens with some releases! A friend has posted soem pictures of the set and they are very nice. It has a DTS soundtrack which is a first for this title but with BD coming out that would only mean something to DVD owners only.
