and I was amazed I got the first post
God, what happened to diversity? The "2-Disc Special Edition" is the exact same picture, shrunken and centered, as the "1-Disc"

I am definately buying this.
I Am so Buying This! Tooo!
Will they be packaging the 2-Disc with the "Production Diaries" that was released in time for the theatrical release?
Im buying the 2 Disc Special Edition.
awesome movie but I don't think I will be buying it
I wish this art had been used for one of the theatrical one sheet posters!
I wish it would come in a tin like the ezydvd exclusive. I will still be buying the 2 disc on release day.
More than likely, I'll be getting the 2-disc edition. I loved this!
I like the 2 disc art, but I hate the one disc. I'll be getting the 2 disc.
i dont like the 2 disc edition cover too much, but its ok
Awesome cover art... I can't wait to see what else they have to show behind the scenes. The Production Diaries were amazing.

Sorry but, no DTS = no sale.
I can wait for the 'definitive' release.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed about no DTS too, but I'm still going to buy it.

Liked the film. but feel no inclination to buy it. Maybe catch it in a couple of years time once I have forgotten it. Dont particularly want to buy every film I watch. Seems everyone esle does.
The film may 'star' Jack Black, Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody but you wouldn't know it from the artwork!

I can't wait to get my hands on this one! I'm not wild about the cover though.
Just noticed that the difference in price between the 1 & 2 disc editions is $1!
Surely no-one would object to paying an extra $1 for the extra features. That is ridiculous. Its about £0.60p in UK money!

Oh my God, that artwork sucks! At least the film is a miracle! 10/10
I smell revisions on the way.

I just try to avoid the 'Double-Dip' whenever possible. And these (28 March) releases absolutely indicate that a more elaborate version is on the cards.

Cover art is good, I'm definately buying this, 2nd Best of 2005! I dont know... I'm thinking of getting the 1-disker and hope they get an extended edtion, but I will most likely get the 2-Disker anyway....
New Line gave him better treatment than Universal.
Excellent, the two disc'er will be mine!
I LOVE the 2 disk art work, man, that rocks!! I agree, a better "lord of the rings" style rerelease has got to be in the cards somewhere. Also, with HD-DVD and Bluray disk coming soon, you know a better version is already (or soon will be) in the works. I'll wait for the HD version.
I'll definately buy this since it was such a big movie, I haven't seen it yet because I cannot watch a movie over 2:30 in a theater. The animation looks amazing and I'm sure i'll enjoy it but I don't like either of the artworks it could be so much better and I saw someone say how the 2 disc art is the same and how they didnt like it and I agree even if they used the same art they could jazz it up a bit ahah they're making the single disc look nicer! =]
This film was very good, but like most of Jackson's films- too long. This film would have been even better if it was just 30-40 minutes shorter. However, I will be getting it and the artwork is awesome.
Hopefully Universal will let him do a deluxe treatment, but I seriously doubt it. I'm shocked though because Universal along with Dreamworks and New Line are the top distributors for DVD's with DTS. I just assume that since Cinderella Man and Ray were both done in this same fashion that these will be the only releases.
