Sergio Leone's crime epic has been stripped down of the director's original vision many times. There is the abysmal 144 minute cut and the 229 minute cut (which I just purchased today on DVD).

So, does anyone know if its goign to hit BDs anytime soon ?

When it does come out, I hope we get some sort of re-edit of this movie which includes some of the footage from the original 6 hour cut- which has never been released. Unless, all the footage has been lost. I know its too much to ask, but its really hard not to wonder what happened to ther other 3 hours while watching this film. Its such a shame that this film never recieved the recognition it deserved.
