Official DVD Release Announcement

There are tons of special features, including all 12 on Lunnes Diaries, the trailers, various commentaries and a brand new 1-hour documentry entitled "The Beginning"

The package is a 2 disk set.

About bloody time, too. It had better be good!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's got commentaries and you can switch between the animatics and the theatrical version while watching the film. Yippeeeee.

Deleted scenes with totally finished visual effects, especially finished for the DVD. Yipppeeeeeeee..

Commentaries by lots of people, including GL and RM and many many more.... YIPPEEEEEE.

Look what they made me do! The made me say YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. 😄

Don't get your hopes up. The inclusion of so many other versions of the film may mean it's on a flipper disc.... sorry to bring you all down. Nah, doubt Gl would do a thing like that come to think of it. Sorry, as you were.WAHEEEEEEEEEYYYY! 😄

I dont have a DVD player 🙁 🙁

I wish I had a DVD player. I would be really awesome combined with my dolby surround sound and 46 in. big screen. 😄

What! You have a 46 inch TV with surround sound, but you dont have a DVD player! My friend, it's shamefull! I suggest you penny pinch every cent you can, save up $300 bucks before October, and buy a DVD player! Remember how the Matrix made people buy DVD players, we'll the Phantom Menace DVD should put a DVD player in every home! I'm off to buy SONY stock! 😉

I have DVD in my PC and it is zone free 😄 cool. My surround system on the pc will come in handy 😮‍💨 . The sound system I have cost as much as the entire computer. I paid 31000 NKR for the entire stuff computer and sound system (for £ divide on 13 and $ 8)

Well I just KNEW I had to by a DVD last week. Something told me to do it. Maybe there is something to the Force after all... 😂

Well at my dad's house the computer he has can play DVD but there is no surround sound for it. And the screen is only 19".

And on another note, I'm getting $600 for settlement from a car accident not to long ago. I'm saving it for a DVD player and a Microsoft X-Box.

Doesn't the X-Box play DVDs with full Surround, Dolby, etc?

I don't get it, watching movies on your computer. A bit daft if you ask me.

Anyway, more good news. Release date for UK is Oct 15, and for Continental Europe (including Holland) Oct 17. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I was afraid I'd had to wait for a few months or so. I am still waiting for Ben-Hur to be released in Holland, it's been released in the US for quite a while now. *still waiting*

I just found out that the DVD is only going to be 30 bucks! That just rocks my tofu! As soon as YAHOO allows pre-orders, I will do just that! 😄

Probably means about a £25.00 price tag for the UK then.

I can probably get it for 20 pounds, or US$25. I get a good deal from my video rental store.

Hey RC, goodlooking out man. I just remembered that the X-Box does play DVD's. I am such an idiot.

The X-Box does have DVD capabilities, but I don't think they provide the player with the default system...might be an add-on.

Anyways about the DVD release....Yipee!

Should I pre-order?, I was going to definately, but now that I think of it, it will take at least three days to arrive at my house after it becomes available! That sucks major booty! I dont think it will sell out or anything, I mean when it came out on tape, there were tons of them, I think that they should have enough to get some the first day. I hope i'm right, but that Amazon.com 7 bucks off deal sounds mighty tasty! Suggestions please!!!!!! 😕

Go and pre-order, dude. You know you want it, might as well cash in on the discount. GL's making enough money on us as it is.
