The others (apart from a couple of the TV series) do not interest. |

| I have to wonder the reasoning behind these -- if the DVD market is suffering from the bad economy, how many people are going to spring for DVDs they probably already own (is there anyone who wants to see 300 who hasn't already bought it?) in fancy packaging and a higher price. |

Such as: Amazon.com: Casablanca: Script and Legend: The 50th Anniversary Edition: Howard Koch: Books |

It's a Great Feeling is one of my very favorite Doris Day films and all those incredible cameos by Warner stars!!! |

I think it's pretty neat. Fanboy briefcase packages and monster head junk I can do without! But I think this set looks really cool and I bet we'll see some new and significant supplements as well over the previous release. Make no mistake though... I ain't selling that one off until this is in my player and I can see it for myself.

I wonder when The Secret Six is being released? The Digital bits mentioned it going under restoration back in January 2006. |
