No release date known yet. I would say, but don't quote me, to look for it before Christmas.
Guys, please help me out here. With a SE being released so soon, it makes me wonder why they bothered to release the initial version in the first place. Sure, I could see if it were 4 or 5 years later but this DVD really hasn't been out that long.
I just find it a little surprising that you're actually thanking them for this.
The reason for thanking them is simple. They announced in April that the June 11th release would be a "bare bones" release and that a SE is planned for later. This way for those of us who wanted to wait and get the SE version we wouldn't have to waste money on the first version when we know before the first release date that an SE is coming.
Hmm. So bascially they engage in the same practices as every other studio with DVD revisits, but in their case it's okay because they've warned us about it ahead of time.
Short answer, yes. Unlike other studios that revisit titles with no prior warning, they chose to announce that they were still putting together materials for a SE release.
Unless you purchased the initial release of BHD and just now found this thread, I don't understand the hosility towards Columbia about their April press release of a SE that is currently being worked on for later release. Sometimes these SE DVDs take time to get everyone and everything together in order to make it happen, and that's exactly what is hapening here. Would you simply be happier to not have the SE released at all?
