I guess that they will be released a couple of months of each other just so I will have to buy both copies! :sad:

Actually I probably would've gotten both anyway. :grin:

I would love for them to put the 3D models of the TFs as bonus, you could look at them and move them around, zoom in to appreciate all the detail, and have a button or something to watch the model transform, or have their weapons come out or whatever.

I would dig that.

Agreed. that would be a great extra, and would make the dvd more worth it for me. not that I don't plan on getting it already.

Superman came out in may last year and made a late may release. Now I know that they could release it tomorrow if they wanted to but I thik for the July release probably a first or second week of december release. Sometimes they know when its going out on dvd even before the movie is released.

this isnt Fox so i doubt it'll be double dipped....i'm sure both version will come out the same day, most studios are doing that lately so would make sense.

Maybe the discs will be razor-edged like Frenzy's...

No seriously, I REALLY hate when they do the DVD with no extras... Don't you remember the original adverts for the DVD format?

Ah, well.

It would be cool if one of the audio options would have Frank Welker's voice as Megatron. Now that would be the shit!!

Just wondering, would Chris Mcfeely be commenting on the UK movie DVD?

I'm always interested in making of documentaries, so I'm hopeful for a nice detailed one being included with the DVD.

Don't really care about the price on the multi-disc I'm going to get it even if it's a high price.

Any release date yet.

I know I could download it now, but I just as anti-movie bootleg, as I am anti-repaint!

They're very bad things.

That would be so beautiful. The extended film, anyway. I don't really think it has to be rated R to increase the enjoyability.

Movie toy left overs? What movie toy leftovers?! Everything left in stores are those stupid real gear figs, and its the same one everywhere= the binocular guy, longview! The toys are selling like hotcakes, its nuts! I work at a Target and as soon as I put stuff out (after getting what I want) its all gone!

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the work everyone does on this board to get TF news out to us, but this is a pretty weak update. Why does Michael Bay/Nelson think he's revealing anything we didn't already know? Every big movie gets this treatment (Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, Superman Returns, etc.). He could have at least told us what a few of the special features would be.

My fingers are crossed for a commentary with Peter Cullen, and possibly other voice actors.

@ Skowl: I agree also. It would be so cool to see them transform in slowmotion.

Normally a movie comes out on DVD 4 Months after it was released in theaters..... I work for Wal-Mart, you catch on to these things. :grin:

So that means we should expect to pick up our MP Starscream and Multi-disc movie at the same time! They should run a special like Pre-order MP Starscream and get the multi-disc movie for free! I sure hope they come out with an extented version, I think they are according to the inteview with...ummm, the guy who did Bumble Bee's sentence.

D: Lucky piece of...

Thats it, I need to work at Target. haha

Yey for the movie! I'm gonna buy the multi-dvd no matter the cost. : ) Can't be more than 20 something dollars. It'd be cool if they had a limited edition toy to go with the first 500 dvds or something.

I bet the multi-disc one will be around $30. Id be very suprised if it was around $20. Either way ill be getting it.

Hopefully they will have 2 cover version with the logos. If so I'm getting them both. This DVD will force me to shell out for a Bluray or HDDVD player.

Posted by i_amtrunks on July 22nd, 2007 @ 6:51pm CDT

Anyone surprised by this?

Although I was sort of expecting to have 2 special editions, a 2 disc and a 3-maybe 4 disc edition. Bet just like Happy Feet, the single Disc version will just sit and rot on the shelves, while the 2 disc flies out the stores.

Re: New Information About the Transformers Movie DVD (237654)
Posted by D-340 on July 22nd, 2007 @ 7:10pm CDT

I hope the multi disc is released at the same time as the regular version. I won't have to waste money buying 2 copies of it(though I will if I have to).

You don't already have an MP StarScream ? I've had mine for months!
