Boy, didn't see this one coming.....
well yeah...alls there is here is one doc...knowing the way the features on the disk are already its probably only half an hour long. besides a transforming the book to the comic could just as easily be seen in a making of book or something. saves you money if you think about it
blu-ray verison?
What's the point? The current BD release is perfectly good.

Quote: a 300: Limited Collector's Edition box set will be available this fall on DVD only, as a special box set including all the previous DVD extras along with two new documentaries (Recreating the Spartan Era and 300: Legend Filtered Through History, Graphic Novel and Film), as well as other exclusive memorabilia (a lenticular hologram, artwork cards and more). The reason it's DVD only? The studio tells us that a much more elaborate Blu-ray Disc version is currently in production for release in 2009, complete with new BD-Live and Bonus View content. It's tentatively set for about mid-year, so watch it to arrive in stores about a year from now. We'll have more details as they become available.

I imagine SEVERAL people already own one of the various versions(including the HD ones) so i dont see many people buying this
I don't and probably never will.
Since this is WB I'm not surprised.
Haven't gotten around to getting this yet, I might pick it up depending on what kinda cash I've got.
wow thats one fancy package for just a single movie. lol
but yeah unless the new documentary is feature length and it comes to blu-ray, i wont buy this. my regular dvd 2 disc is fine.

I'm actually getting rid of my 2-Disc DVD for the Blu-Ray. Not this!
I'll hold off for the blu-ray version next year.
Sounds like a really pretentious documentary. We got all we needed on the first Blu edition (or at least I did). Totally not worth it. Warner should really focus on bringing LOTR to Blu by Christmas. Now THAT I would buy.
If you guys want to see the packaging it's towards the bottom of the page along with a bunch of other upcoming special editions

Anyway, this is a pretty over the top, and useless release for such a recent film.

yes this news has been around.
Pointless. Past
Cripes.
The box and contents look amazing, but it's kinda over the top when you think about it. Looks as if WB is doing this treatment for quite a few other films as well according to that Digital Bits link above.
I'm passing on this, as I bought 300 and Blood Diamond on Blu-ray back in June when they went on sale at Best Buy for $15 apiece.

Pretty good movie, but I think i'm going to pass on this one.
well just found out this version is also hitting blu-ray. now i just need more info about this new documentary and its length.
Man, Warners REALLY likes their jacked-up ultimate editions, but looking at their upcoming slate, I'd rather have the films on their own. I don't need all those useless bells and whistles.
I'm happy with my Steelbook.
I'm happy with my steelbook copy too. I don't know anyone who will buy this because as others have said, whoever waanted this movie has it already. Some set like this would have been better 5 years down the road after the initial release.
I would love some jam-packed edition but I have to really love the movie like E.T. and I have the ultimate edition there. Now if Warner Bros. releases a set like this of 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' I'll be all over that like butter on popcorn.

i don't really care for special features like i use to....now i only like special features to the movies that i REALLY REALLY like. cuz all features now are just boring generic stuff which u can careless about.
so this "uber" edition is not coming to blu-ray afterall, the site i read that on updated...well damn. lol
Well as a completist, I own the COmic Con set, the Best Buy Exclsuive set so I'll have to get this!
A bit late for this one....and that price! I know it will drop but with the Blu already out there it's not really worth it
The Horror, The Horror...not only is this movie bad and overrated, but it doesn't deserve the 3-disc triple dip...oh well...
Artwork added
My current Blu-ray edition of 300 is great enough without having to double-dip. Pass!!
