...because a new edition, the "Don't Call Me Shirley!" Edition, comes out November 15th. This must be why the original DVD isn't being sold anymore.

Anyone notice the names of some of these 'editions' for old movies now?

I mean Tommy Boy 'Holy Schnikees' edition...?

Big deal. At least you know it's coming out. When I first saw the thread title, I thought the movie was out of print or something. (Don't know why it would be, though...)

Good things come to those who wait. Remember that.

I don't understand all these weird special eddition versions.
Half the time, the special features suck. I'd just be happy with the $5 version found in the DVD Bargain Bin.

The only thing I reallly would go for is that 9-disk 'The Matrix' eddition. Drools!

Certain newer, "special edition" releases have better transfers, or may have extended footage. You know, cool stuff that matters. Extras, for the most part, I don't care too much about unless it's a movie I really love.

Aww... Lucky!

Anyways, extended footage is a pretty awsome deal! What do you mean by better transfers?

A transfer being the picture quality, the aspect ratio and whether it's anamorphic or not (meaning if it's specifically made for widescreen TVs or not), that kinda thing.

Not to mention they probably have all the footage... (dick-slaps whoever did the BASEketball DVD for leaving out the whole Steve Perry montage)

Oh yeah, Legion reminded me of a good point.
These rereleases really point out to me how I need to buy it for DVD format.
I have all these stacks of VHS tapes and have nothing to play them on.
Even if I did bother to hook up the ole' dusty VHS player, the quality would be crap.

I really should get that Toy Storys special before my tape stops working... Thats a classic movie.

And it's all one fold-out thing. I think it's about a football field in length when all folded out.

No one neglected to point out that it's a quadrilogy, and not a trilogy. D: My mistake.
