    Looks like the 2-disc SE is indeed coming in May! Also, looks like Patton and Tora, Tora, Tora are also coming out at that time with 2-disc SE (all of them anamorphic too). All of this according to the Bits on 2/16/06.

    The Longest Day (2-disc R1)???

    I've recently acquired a WWII curiosity and I'm looking to pick up a copy of "The Longest Day" on DVD. However, search results seem to indicate that there is a 2-disc SE of this movie for Region 2 but apparently not for Region 1? However, I did find (what seems to be) a preorder for a Region 1...

    BBC History of World War II

    Just caught this thread in a search and discovered that the World War I set (The Great War) is coming out on DVD on 4/4/06, apparently. So for those that are still interested, I found it at DDD: The Great War By the way, I'm nearing the half way point in "World At War" and it's a...

    Advice Needed: ~50" HDTV

    Thanks for the advice Alfer. I spent the day looking around locally and trying to get the best deal. Currently, I'm deciding between these two deals: 1) RCA 50" DLP (HD-50LPW162) BEST BUY: It's on sale this week for $2369. I was able to get them down to $2224. With 4 yr warranty and tax...

    Advice Needed: ~50" HDTV

    I'm very close to getting the JVC from Buydig.com. I just want to make sure that the 1 YR manufacturer's warranty is on-site??? I don't see any mention on either website (JVC or Buydig). I'll most likely be purchasing the 3 YR MACK extended warranty, which is on-site but I want to make sure...

    Advice Needed: ~50" HDTV

    Thanks for the clarification - I wasn't sure if the Manufacturer's warranty was in-home or not. So do you think that sounds like a pretty good deal? $2319 + $200 for the 3 yr MACK? = $2519. The JVC seems to have gotten pretty good reviews - seems to be brighter than most DLP's but perhaps not as...

    Advice Needed: ~50" HDTV

    I found the JVC 52" (HD-52z575) at Buydig.com for $2319 plus no tax and no shipping. That's a HUGE difference when compared to Best Buy, which is selling is for $2849 plus tax. Here's a price comparison: Best Buy = $2849 + $200 tax = $3049 OR Best Buy = $2849 + 200 tax + 400 4yr Warr =...

    Advice Needed: ~50" HDTV

    Hmmm, that's a pretty tempting deal. Best Buy has that JVC for $2849, so the $2499 price at Onecall is $350 cheaper! Plus, there's no tax... but shipping is $156 so that pretty much cancels that out. On the other hand, the extended warranty is still cheaper ($189 for 3 yr and $269 for 4 yr). The...

    Next BB Preferred Customer?

    Thanks guys, unfortunately, there isn't a Circuit City anywhere nearby, so Best Buy won't price match with them. Does anyone know for sure whether the 10% off coupons for Preferred Customer are off of regular price or sale price if I buy a TV? It would be worth it for me to wait until one of...

    Next BB Preferred Customer?

    Hi, we're looking to buy an HDTV some time soon and was wondering if anyone knew when the next Best Buy preferred customer event will be? Don't they usually have a 10% coupon that allows you to get the discount even off of sales prices? Thanks.

    Star Trek TNG Season Set (all 7) Deal!

    Neither of the Costco links seem to be working anymore. I was able to get ST: TOS, but I wanted to go back and try for NG for $500 but it seems to be gone. Can anyone else find either of these boxed sets at Costco now? If not, do they normally get them back after a while or are they gone for...

    Highway To Heaven

    Apparently, the Season 1 boxed set will be available to retail stores some time in March, 2005. Hopefully, the price will be less expensive then. Same source: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=2472 Travis

    *** FOX goes PAN&SCAN? 10 Fox discs re-released in MARCH

    Over the past few years, I have mostly lurked in these forums - rarely posting, but this one has compelled me to voice my opinion. Nothing new, I'm sure, but when you feel compelled to do something, there's not much that can hold you back! ;-) Anyway, I absolutely understand where Peter (and...

    Atlantis - Regular version = Enhanced for x

    Although there is admittedly a big difference in price between the standard and 2-disc versions of Atlantis, I chose the 2-disc version based on Disney's other similar DVD products (Snow White, A Bug's Life, etc). So far, after doing an overall scan of the package on my player, the extra price...

    Director's Commentary on "The Fast and the Furious" deleted scenes

    Just for the record, I also noticed this problem with Furious on my Sony 5 disc DVD changer. The first deleted scene played fine without the commentary, but then I turned it on to watch the scene again... and the commentary was "stuck" on even when I tried to turn it off on that deleted scene...

    Sound of Music: GREAT extras but sound a disappointment

    I've gotten about half way through the movie so far and I think my reaction is almost opposite. I was impressed with the clarity of the soundtrack (especially the vocal), but was slightly disappointed in the video. The colors seemed to change intermittently. And in the opening, the brightness...
