I'm really tired of this double (and sometimes triple and quadruple!) DVD dips, trying to continually extract money from the same movie/DVD. I'll stick with the copy I already have.

As am I, but at the same time as the technology gets better I think it's right to re-release a remastered version that improves on quality, but releasing another edition for 20-minutes extra of bonus material isn't al that appeal. Still Universal is far from the worst offender.

Sony Pictures is the kind of re-releases. How many copies of THE FIFTH ELEMENT have been released? I know I owned 2 of them, and now 2 of them on Blu-ray. The media is barely a year old and already a double dip is available.

Thankfully, some studios are doing things right the first time, or the second time, and we don't get anymore such as Warner Bros., whose re-release of THE WIZARD OF OZ probably has just about everything they could possibly include and was re-mastered and I highly doubt we'll see it on standard def DVD again.

Brieefly and FWIW, re: Session 416.

They weren't "made for the film and never used". They were made specifically for the web as promotion for the movie a couple of months before it was released theatrically. See

for the details.

Ahhhh, thanks for the info, I just updated the review to also include the link, but doesn't this just fuel the statement that double-dipping is a bit rude on the studio's part. With the sessions already being online and the "Sci-Fi Inside: Serenity" feature already being shown on television it takes two features away that people have already seen. To me that just cheapens the value of the special edition.

Fancy boxes aside, it really comes down to the content and this one really doesn't live up for people to buy it again.
