Oh my effing god it's happening *runs around on the spot and wets pants*

[Clark Kent]

Which color timing will be included is the pertinent question.

[dlshelt]

Hope the tv version is included in 1080p.

Happy Happy!Joy Joy!

"35th Anniversary?", cries Jamie Lee Curtis as she eats her Activia.

[Adcatalano]

Eh. Color me skeptical for something really worth double dipping. Probably just the stupid tv edit, some new interviews, and a new featurette or something.

I'm so glad I didn't buy this yet. I've been looking for a really good deal on it, and almost pulled the trigger a few times recently.

[Nailwraps]

Time to retire my old Blu-ray release!

Sigh.

Just another sign of what you get on Fakebook. I won't even click on this link. I hope the Cundey approved transfer from the THX special addition several years back will finally make the Blu-ray release. Amen?

[The Great Owl]

Gentleman, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

I love how people complain about having to rebuy it over and over again. It's not like Anchor Bay forced anyone to do it. People just love to complain.

I have over 10 versions myself as I love the film, so I will of course be picking this one up.

[dlshelt]

Im a sucker when it comes to double dipping for better pq.German versions,UK versions.......I gotta stop but yes I will get this

I waited until like a month ago because it got to the stage where this supposed 35th anniversary edition was looking more and more like a fans dream and nothing official. I can't be too angry. I got it for like $9 shipped. I won't sell it until I actually have this release.

I don't think I've even seen this Cundey approved transfer so if that's used, that'll be interesting.

i saw the 4k transfer this past halloween at the theater and let me say that if they are in fact using that then it will be worth it and everyone will toss the old blu ray

We'll have to see what 'greatest version' means technically, but its inclusion does seem to pretty much confirm a new transfer. Now, could that be/include the original color timed version? That is the main question. Still, the new 4k transfer regardless will be welcome news, and adding the Halloween Inside Story doc in HD along with perhaps a new commentary would be nice pluses.
