I was hoping "the ending" would feature as an extra.

Three featurettes?? That's it?
Hmm I thought this was a paramount release? I guess not as I'm going to get a PS3 I guess I'll get the blu version.
Obviously a bare-bones edition. I'll wait for the special edition, which will be a definate buy because this was by far one of the best films of the year.
Do the Cohen's do special editions?
All righty then...
I'm baffled by the negative reaction so many people are expressing towards the existential turn the film takes in the 3rd act. This is what elevates it from a genre picture to something truly great and memorable.
Hands-down the best film of the year. No contest. One of the very best films in ten, or twenty, years. Period.
The 11th of March can't come soon enough.

Great movie, very creepy bad guy. The ending fit the movie perfectly. Especially in the context of Tommy Lee's last speech. The only problem I had with the movie was woody harrelson's character. Served no purpose except to give some background information on the bad guy and didnt advance the plot at all. SOLD!
Excellent film. Stellar acting. Horrendously bad ending.

Of their 11 movies they've only recorded one commentary track and rarely do their DVDs feature more than EPK material, outtakes, and deleted scenes.

Yeah, most people just can't handle things not tied up in a neat little package. They don't want to have to think about it afterwards.

This was a great film. Truly one of the best films of 2007. But I have to say the third act was definitely weak when compared to the rest of the film.
Artwork added
Truly a good film, will most likely pick it up on Blu. Can Javier Bardem get any more uglier than that on the cover art?
The film is quite brilliant. Best film of 2007, without a doubt. And it reaffirmed my faith in the Coen brothers. Decent artwork. The only part of it I would change is I would take out the truck. It's unnecessary.
Squeek81, I agree with you.
Woody Harrelson must be buddies with the Coen Brothers because his character did absolutely nothing in this film. And I do appreciate films that feel they don't have to tie up all the loose ends but the ending to this movie was just odd. The last ten minutes seemed really rushed.

Hmm....double-dip special edition after it wins Best Picture? maybe, no?
Can't add much more praise to this masterpiece but that ending has haunted me since watching the film and this film is an existential nightmare and that final scene is a revelation.

so i doubt the coen brothers will double-dip this one cuz they never do.....
I wish they used the theatrical poster art. It is better than the DVD art by far.
*SPOILERS*
After Brolin was killed off (in a very c**ppy way), I lost complete interest because he was the only real character I cared about. I liked what happened to Bardem's character though. But the ending was just bleh.
*END SPOILERS*
No purchase for me.

I haven't seen this, but I want to. I don't really like the cover art though. Floating heads just aren't my thing, unless they're done well, and in this case... not so much.
i love everything about this film (particularly the ending). i might have to hold out though, because all the hype it's getting leads me to believe that there's gonna be a special edition not too far away (even though that's unusual for a coen bros movie).
Probably my favorite movie of the year, and it certainly has the best ending.
The artwork is just alright. it could have been worse, but it also could have been a lot, lot better.
Also, why can't they just match the names up with the damn heads. Is it really so difficult to put Josh Brolin's name under his picture, and vice versa? I've never understood this.

**SPOILER CONTINUED**
What would you have preffered?
My dad felt the same way, that Brolin's death wasn;t rewarding enough. Why does everything need to be presented to an audience in a neat, perfectly blatant fashion? Why can't things be implied? Why can't we, as an audience, be left out of things, and be left to draw our own conclusions, or just put two and two together?
I thought the scene was done perfectly.

I hate how Brolin and Lee Jones names are not under their respective floating head. CAN WE END THIS FLOATING HEAD FAD?
AAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!! FLOATING HEAD SYNDROME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, the Coens have done a double-dip before with The Big Lebowski so it's conceivable that they'd do one for this, arguably their best movie of their careers.
REPLY TO KEVINNASH (*SPOILERS*): I respect how you feel, but I felt that we should have gotten a better look at Brolin's death because he was the character we had been following the whole movie and then he suddenly disappears and reappears dead. That's not fair. But then again, the movie was a bit about how evil prevails in one form or another. So who knows, you're probably right.
