I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude as well.  At the same time, I'm anxious to replace the copy of BBM I currently have with something better (I find the white border with the Academy Awards info annoying).  We have an organized chat scheduled for the day after this special edition is released, so I'm hoping to get some lively feedback from early-purchasers then.

cheers

Me, too. I've already got the wide-screen version and the full-screen version. I don't think I need a third copy.

I'm going to give my widescreen version to my therapist who has seen it 4 times; the last time with subtitles.   She loves this film as much as I do.

I am really looking forward to Ang Lee's commentary.

peace  ;)

Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

...Cause I know - A love that will never grow old.

To my mind, they have totally missed the point of having such a wide base of fans that are so deeply interested in Brokeback Mountain. Just a few of the out takes would have had me lining up to buy this edition. Imagine the giggle parties watching Jake keep losing it, as he was suppose to be picking up the cinematographer Rodrigo in Mexico. Not to mention the snarf worthiness of the deleted hippy recuse scene. Hmmm... 13 takes of FNIT, well... how about Jake near covering a screen with those takes being projected behind him, as he tells the audience... No, no, you folks really don't need to see all of this. (add slight panicked expression as he does this; fade to black)  There is so much they could have done, that might have even gotten folks that have never seen the film interested in it just from the extra material, and it looks to me like they blew it.

Will I buy it?  Eventually, when it hits the bargain bins in about six weeks after it's released. I can wait for what little new they are offering. I have the master piece itself to savor.
It could be like this, just like this... always.

to let us know if there is an unexpected suprise?  I just checked Amazon.com and they are still listing the same info.  Is there going to be a director's commentary?  I hope someone goes out and buys it and lets us know what's the deal.  Personally, can't get excited about some postcards or

"Music From the Mountain" featurette
Impressions From the Film - Photo Montage
"A Groundbreaking Success" featurette

I know I'll be disappointed by it but I have to have it. I'll still all about all things Brokeback. I still have to restain myself from buying the DVD when I see it at a good price-and I have 3 copies already  ::)

No.  Everything that they put on it I've seen already.  But I read an intriguing thread yesterday about secret codes that unlock features on DVD's that no one knows about
