RIP OFFS!!!!!

Please, please, please, Mr Studios, stop releasing a film on dvd, then re-releasing it to co-incide with a related cinema release!

The Mummy - "Collector`s Edition."? 2000.
The Mummy - "Ultimate Edition!" 2001.
Difference?: Some new content relating to The Mummy Returns. Which will no doubt be on "The Mummy Returns: Collector`s Edition" at the end of the year.

Can anyone make me aware of anymore discs like this? I was really disappointed to have bought The Mummy for £20 a few weeks ago only to realise I could`ve had this "2 disc special Ultimate" version for £3 less from play247.

Are the two Jurassic Park films next in the Universal hit list when numero 3 appears?! "Special Limited Edition Jurassic Park and Lost World Ultimate Editions with the full trailer for JP3," perhaps?!

Hmm sounds familiar Tom. Seven comes to mind, its already been released twice, the most recent one with a commentary, but of course no `making of` documentary as such which they will no doubt be saving for its third release sometime next year!

I havent bought the new release of A River Runs Through It either because I know there was a documentary for that which even was on the VHS but not the new DVD!

Apparently the new Bond movie production has been delayed, still, at least the Bond dvd collection I have at the moment hopefully wont be superceded by a new improved issue with `recently discovered missing footage` too soon!

Dont you find it strange how the studios keep unearthing new bits of film to market to the public or am I just too cynical? lol
