To buy, or not to buy?

So it was a win-win situation for me. Both great movies that on BD looks better than ever.

Interesting. I'm off to check my DVD. If it is cropped, I'm sold on the Blu-ray and willing to double dip in the future.

edit: The DVD is not; it is OAR.

I just have a feeling (a hope) that The Usual Suspects and Goodfellas will be out again soon; along with a few of the $9.99, 2006-2007 discs. Also, $9.99 for Usual Suspects is so cheap and sometimes I wonder why is it so cheap. Should I look a gift horse in the mouth? Are the studios planning a re-release?

Some already re-released were ones that weren't done properly in the first year, 2006-2007 when Goodfellas and Usual Suspects arrived, T2, The Fifth Element, Full Metal Jacket. Not having HD sound is a big mistake, maybe they'll re-release Goodfellas for the 20th anniversary next year.

Others just because of a new audio track, special features or even nothing, Superman Returns, Stranger Than Fiction, Casino Royale, and A Christmas Story. WHY NOT THE TWO I WANT!
