Not sure if this is news or not, but I was surprised to see 5-6 of these things on the shelf today.

I've seen it at Best Buy and Wal-Mart.

I was surprised when I went to Sam's today and seen "OOP" Blues Brothers CE + Animal House (new one) together in a 2 pack for $8.44. They had others but I can't remember them.

I'd hate to be someone who paid $30-40 off ebay for one.

Maybe Fletch will resurface.

"I've always loved you."

its going for $10 on amazon, so its rare but has no value left.

Makes me glad I sold mine for $35.

I hate WalMart, but I guess I'll give it a see.

It has no value due to the still available 25th Anniversary Edition which has the Theatrical Version, Extended Version, all the "bonus" features from the OOP version in addition to some new ones.

If I run across one of these I'll probably pick it up "just because", but I'm happy with my 25th Anniversary Edition.

Yeah, the newer edition completely supercedes the older version. It's not desirable for DVD content (the new one has everything on it and more) and there are too many available for it to be a collectible.

For $5 more you can get some new extras and the vasty superior theatrical cut in addition to the bloated extended edition that you're stuck with on the previous disc.

I see DDD has it also, for $7.98.

As I recall, the new one drops the rather extensive photo gallery that was on the C.E.; otherwise, yes, everything else moved over.

Is the newer one the same transfer? Isn't it also 2-sided?

It's weird to see Walmart have this CE and the anniversary edition for sale next to each other.

Same transfer, but with better compression. And yes, it is two-sided, so as to incorporate both edits of the film.

its a good movie, but not $40 bucks that it was once worth.

I've been seeing these all over the place lately. Walmart and Fry's (in IL) both had them in the past couple weeks for around 10 bucks. I still havent' gotten around to picking up the newer anniversary edition yet.

Looks like it's available at Deep Discount DVD too. Only checked because I just tried to watch the extended version on the Anniversary Edition and the damn thing's defective. I watched the regular version and all the extras a couple months ago and those were fine, figures the defect would be in the last part I watch.

DVD-18s are cool when they work, but they need to be made at the more reliable manufacturers, not this place in Mexico they've been using (obviously for the cheap labor.) This is the 3rd time I've had a problem with a Universal disc; I went through THREE copies of Casino before I got one that played flawlessly (had to send it back to the company) and I got a defective copy of Emperor's Club that I had to exchange- that ruined the movie since I hadn't seen it before and it froze up at a critical point.

i seen this last night at mt walmart in dickson city ,pa for 8.88

That's the main reason I never bought the newer one. I try to avoid dual-sided disks whenever possible.
