4? all released on the same day? that would be COOL, this is what the studios should do!
Gimme some sugar, baby
Should include a separate Bruce Campbell commentary track.
Can't get enough of "Bruce Almighty".

What about the Director's Cut edition, any news on that? I'm very tempted to buy the regular 2-disc edition but if the Director's Cut is available soon after I'd rather wait, like I did for Hellboy...
Superbit right out the gate? Sold!
That would be great if they got the Superbit out the door right at the start.
I'll get the 2 disc to match number one, i hope thats not the final cover i pereferd the other 3 posters more
ahh I hated this movie when I saw it, Ill give it a second chance
Let's hope the documentary is much better this time around...
these all coming the same day guys?
Yep, the artwork should be available for them all next week. I won't be around a great deal next week though, but I'll do my very best to get them on the site asap. Think I'm going to go for the Superbit disc personally.
I am also going with the superbit version.

I expect the UK edition to feature a DTS track, in the removing of the non-English tracks.
Hopefully a better tranfer this time...

i'll be getting the superbit version of this. i already have the first movie in superbit. might as well stick with it.
superbit all the way for me
I'm all over this... sweet. I'll get the 2-disc and probably the superbit too.
ill go for the collectors as itll match the previous one.
As far as a directors cut goes, what could he really improve on here??

i just don't wanna see kirsten doosh on my widescreen cover.... sh*t like will make me wanna get the fullscreen
I really wish the Superbit was a two-disc set. I recently purchased the original Spider-man in Superbit and I swear it was a new transfer of the film... even the special effects looked improved. So even though I would like the extras I am gonna do the Superbit thing.
Uh...
Eh, Superbit is cool and all, but I don't think it'll look or sound all that better on my 19" Emerson with built-in speakers. I'll probably just get the two-disc set.
I'm getting the collector's set to go with the 1st set that I have tweaked. It's got all the things that were in the set PLUS the Deluxe Edition with Full Screen Disc. I'll prob end up getting the 1st movie superbit because of the extra commentary track.
I think I'm gonna go with the collector's set. Its cheaper then I thought it was gonna be (unless they pull a matrix) and I think kudos are in order to Columbia for having the decency to release 4 different versions simultaneously, tell us about them and price them right. Thats all consumers really ask for.
2-disc wide for me.

i hated this movie alot. i will give it another chance because of how many people liked it however(this will be chance #4. i'm unbelievably fair to this movie)
Hopefully the transfer on the 2-disc set will be better than the first film's standard widescreen edition DVD was. I'd really like to have all of the special features on it, but if the transfer is anything like the first film's I am going to have to go with the Superbit and hope for a better picture.
The picture on the Superbit for the first film was a big step up in the quality department, although I could not tell much differnece between the DD and DTS mix on that edition.

I'll buy the standard 2-disk on this occasion too.
There's bound to be an Ultimate Edtition box-set of all 3 films in 2006, so i'll wait till then until i buy another version of this film.
I personally thought this film had better action than the first, but less story. I still prefer Part 1, but this was a good sequel to it.

Well, get ready to be disappointed. Sam Raimi has already said that he wants a Director's Cut disc, called Spider-Man 2.5.

Time to get a new set-up there dude. My computer screen is 19" and a flatscreen at that. I even have a 5.1 surround system to go with it.

This double-dipping shit is getting way outta hand. I wished they'd just release their intended definitive edition the first time around.

Man, I can't believe 4 editions??? I am quite dissapointed that there may be the director's cut. I really want to by the 2 disc edition, but don't want to have to double dip later. I didn't buy the first one until the deluxe edition came out. I don't want to have to wait that long for the second.
I wish they would tell us now if the director's cut was going to be released and when. Oh well, I will have to settle for the 2 disc one for now. This movie was so damn good.
