I already have it on Blu-ray and I don't think there will be any extras on this set so fascinating that I'm gonna get this.

I knew Sony was going to do this, we all knew it. They should've put it off until November to at least cash in on "Quantum of Solace".
this is NOT needed
Everyone saw it coming due to Casino Royale's extras being pathetic compared to those on the other 20 films. I'd like to see the deleted scenes, but there's no way I'm paying full price for this. When it drops below a fiver, I'll give it a look, but not before.
I just bought the Blu version a week ago. Pass for me.
Why, Lord? WHY???????????????????????
What is on this that wasnt on the first 2-disc release.

The commentary (no cast or director though), the deleted scenes, the storyboard comparison, and the "multiple behind the scenes featurettes." Oh yeah, and the filmographies, which are the things that really get people off the fence...

I knew it too!!!The movie industry is so predictable!A crew commentary and the "becoming bond" docu sounds interesting but common...
Bond Girls are Forever is a snorefest.

GREAT!! I just got a blu-ray player (PS3), and was looking at getting this as my first "dvd-to-blu-ray rebuy" disk. glade I didn't pick it up.
Durnit... I was thinking that there was going to be a super-duper edition, but I was so snowed by the movie itself that I bought it the very first day it came out... Double-dip THIS, CTSHV!!
As much as I love Bond, I think the previous 2 disc is just fine...I'll pass...
I will probably buy this again because I am a dumb Bond fan.

What is the difference between this and the Blu release?

I'll second that!!

I think Sony wanted us to feel like 'WOW'. It worked we just don't care. Honestly, this product is a cheap scam to get people's money when it's not needed.
I'll get this for me and give the first edition to my dad. No problem for me.
The two-disc was fairly flimsy, but Sony made little secret that this was in the offing - the director was talking about his commentary and deleted scenes a long, long time ago. Had I the willpower, I'd have skipped the first version...but I liked the film too much to wait. The 15 quid (or whatever) is what you pay for the half-dozen times you watch the film in advance of a later release.
Pays your money, takes your choice. I'll live with it. It's not a huge amount of money, and it's not like we don't know how the system works.

I bought this on sale for like $8, and just yesterday, decided to open it...I have the Ultimate Bond Collection, and IMO, I don't think this is a must, since the A/V quality is good enough...
Oh, and Spiderdan22, this is a SD DVD, not a blu-ray. (This is NOT a high-definition release), this is a double-dip.

To pointless to be a three-disc collector's edition.
I'm happy with my Region 3 Uncut version for the time being, only paid 14euro for it on CDWow. Though I did double dip on the Ultimate Editions, primarily for the superb picture quality on Connery's entries.
There's a good chance I'll pick this up, because I only just recently got the original release for $9.99 at BestBuy, so... not too much of a loss for me. Depends on the extras.
so any word on the re-release on blu-ray?
Is anyone actually shocked by this announcement?
I mean the 2-disc set was extremely flimsy and didn't have any substantial extras other than some cheesy EPK featurettes. Pretty much everyone here saw this coming from a mile away.
Looking forward to the Audio commentary and becoming Bond featurette.

Yet another way to despise on Sony! They could be the number 1 movie studio for the most double/triple dips on movies.
It was announced way back when the first release came this was coming. There shouldn't be any surprise to anyone.

The first release was just a cash in to get it out quick. The extras were minimal and would've easily fitted on the first disc.
I too have my doubts over how "Great" they'll be but it's obvious they'll be extensive. This is a THREE disc release after all!

That featurette is on the 2-disc release already.
Anyone have any guesses as to what the coverart will be, since they've used the theatrical poster for the 2-disc? I hope they make something new, because I'm not a big fan of the teaser poster...

Are we to expect a THIRD dvd release after the next film hits theatres or dvd? Sony is getting bad with this, but it was still very expected. I have seen the film so many times, i don't know if i could sit through it again
figures, I guess people will buy this if they want the extra special features bad enough :D
