i get mine next week.

tell us if the extra content is worth the jacked up list price.

I almost bought it, but I just got it on DVD like 2 months ago   I found out about the BD release like the next week.

Hows the transfer? I would like to see some ol' school movies that got a good cleaning (IQ wise)

[Gay Boy]

For the DC the transfer has not been redone since the last DVD release I believe, just transfered into HD. But that doesn't mean its not pretty.

[Bloodwake]

The HD transfer is pretty good, not Kubrick good, but still good.

The special features are worth it. If you get it at Wal-Mart, you get the soundtrack, and all of the sets come with two discs, one disc solely with HD special features.

It's probably one of the nicer DVD/Blu-Ray sets I have. Since the film comes with all three versions of the film, there's a comparison chart and a companion booklet as well. The other side of the chart is the original theatrical poster.

Close Encounters is a movie where the DC (the 90's one, not the 80's DC) is easily the superior cut in every way.
