Author Topic: Office Space Sp. Edition Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 10-31-2005 11:31 PM                     Just was wondering who is going to get this today...I am going to Best Buy because they have a special collectors edition that contains a mousepad, red stapler, mug, picture frame and a pen & pencil set. Their price is $22.99. Looking forward to this version since the other one didn't have any special features.  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-01-2005 08:58 PM                    I planned on buying it, but never got the chance to go get it. I dont think I'll go with the stapler edition, but I may stay away completely if there arent any additional scenes. I want deleted footage!!!  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 11-01-2005 10:53 PM                     There are 8 deleted scenes, an approx 40 min featurette about the film, and DVD-Rom features....but no commentary  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-02-2005 04:20 PM                        The new DVD is anamorphic, unlike the old one. The deleted scenes look quite bad, even though they are anamorphic. It's like they used a really low resolution and scaled it up.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-02-2005 05:37 PM                        Apparently the "flair" they added was the bare minimum. Why release a special edition if you're not going to stuff it with extras? The extras on this I wouldn't even consider very "extra" if it were the STANDARD edition of the movie. Come on, not ONE commentary? And you'd think, and this is a no-brainer here, they'd have included the original Office Space cartoon shorts that the movie was based on!!! (I have them on VHS somewhere.) Isn't THAT the kind of thing bonus features should include? I caved and bought the original DVD of this when it was $9.99. The transfer was also horrible ... film grain and debris. I'd get this new version and sell off my old one if I know the transfer is pristine. Or ... is there going to be a deluxe two-disc edition eventually, when the sales of THIS one justify it? Stupid marketing!  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
