Wouldn't we then get a supeior quality in sound without the disc being clogged up with Dolby digital, audio commentaries, and multiple language tracks?
Back when DVD was a niche market Universal and Dreamworks did this on a regular basis, a DTS track included with a simple Dolby Surround track. But now that DVD is so common in households companies cannot afford to do it as most people don't have an entertainment center capable of playing DTS sound, just their player hooked in to their television. It has become an industry that caters to the masses for the most part, but without the success of the format we wouldn't be seeing the plethora a titles released over the past few years.

wow, the gift set packaging looks great, but I think i'll only go w/ the superbit since there's so many blockbusters coming out around christmas. Eventually I may get the gift set...I absolutely LOVE the superbit packaging!
just had to add that it is so awesome how they are giving us consumers so many awesome choices, except they shouldn't offer foolscreen!

DVD ROM?
Any DVD ROM content like the first one? Playable demos, recording your own commentary, anything like that?
I loved this movie one of my fav of the yr or ever for that matter. So for those who didn't like well i have nothing to say to you. All these coverarts are really nice the only thing i don't like are the screen shots they look so plain and empty i hope they change them.
I like that Superbit design but still prefer consistency with the packaging. I wish they would stick to the outer slip case that looks like brushed steel. I hope the various versions are reviewed before release day.
The menus are to plain!!!
Superbit box
Well, that Superbit box sure looks loads better than other Superbit boxes. I just hate those silver borders.
Gift Set for me! Great packaging for it too.
superbit question
what is it that makes superbit better then the standard release?

Imagine having the ability to see more details in a scene from your favourite movie. Background images become clear and bring new life to that movie you’ve seen multiple times. Although the Superbit collection can be viewed on any DVD player, the more advanced DVD equipment, the better the experience. In addition to the improved clarity of picture, Superbit offers the highest quality sound available. This is made possible because all added value features have been removed, freeing up information space on the disc. The evolution of dvd is here!
Superbit gives viewers the opportunity to experience DVD in a whole new way. With the highest resolution picture plus DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, Superbit offers the ultimate in home entertainment.
The Superbit Collection sets a new standard for DVD video and audio performance.

Sounds like a Superbit infomercial....
Black Spider-Man
I like the Gift Set Box cover. Looks like the Black Spider-Man suit. Maybe a hint for part 3.
Like I posted earlier, if Columbia would just put a little more into their standard versions there wouldn't be a need for Superbit versions of their movies. Other studios master a lot of their DVDs at higher bit rates too, but they don't over hype them and charge people extra for it either.

I'm not a big superbit DVD fan. I only own one superbit DVD and that is Panic Room.
Personally, I'm going for the 2 disc widescreen edition of Spider-Man 2.

Think I'll end up getting the Superbit, not that interested in extra features these days.

But i like special features very much. And i think the picture quality is very good on a regular dvd so i stick with the standard 2 disc edition. But thanks for explaining it anyway

Question: Is the giftset Widescreen?
Excellent, we get a proper in-depth Making Of doco this time.
What annoyed me about S-M1 2-disc SE was there were no proper Making Of featurettes (aside from the "Follow The White Rabbit" ones) pertaining to the actual production of the film (there were some good 'comic-to-screen' ones), only two shitty pay TV specials. Then the Deluxe Ed comes out with four SFX featurettes (eg Times Square scene) sandwiched inbetween the promo crap for the sequel and game.
I do hope for the R2/R4 that they dump the foreign language and Dumby Digital 2.0 tracks in favour of a DTS one.

He didn't explain anything. He cut and pasted from Superbit's website. (Look on superbitdvd.com if you don't believe me!)
Dirty pool, if you ask me.

So i guess no on the DVD ROM?
Columbia: What's Going On?
Finally Columbia decided to release "Spider-Man 2" in widescreen.
After the desaster of the first one in full screen, It's seems that Columbia is back on the tracks again.
We hope it continues that way...
