I got the PS & CoS UE’s for Christmas… if the PoA and GoF UE’s are NOT extended editions (with those scenes someone mentioned earlier in the comments that I’ve never seen!) then rather than buy the rest of the UEs, I will SELL the two I have and just watch the normal Blu-Ray editions I also have.

That will save me about $300.

lots of duplicate comments today… is Leaky’s software acting up?

Oh cool!

aw i just bought the goblet of fire dvd :( my other one is lost now i can’t get this one

Sounds amazing cant wait!

Excellent, I can’t wait to get my copies.

Why aren’t these out in the UK yet???

I think it might be extended editions, but there will be more details when they are announced at Comic Con… At least I’m hoping!!

If the UE are not extended editions what’s the use in buying them??? I plan to write to WB and request EE and tell them I will not be buying the UE without them.

Wow! I like the creature and sound stuff!!!

Just thought I’d make another quick comment. I know lots of people are strapped for cash, and are waiting for some sort of Super Ultimate Set which will come out when the movies are all finished, but from what I can see, these Ultimate Editions ARE that set, they’re just being released in staggered form, so that the timing of the release of the Ultimate Editions of Movies 7 and 8 will pretty much coincide with the normal Blu Ray release. It’s very likely that whatever set is released after all the movies are finished will simply be these same Ultimate Editions, just in bulk form. Also, it’s fairly unlikely that anything new will be added to PoA or GoF, since it seems that even the Extended Editions of those films shown on ABC Family weren’t done with the Director’s input…they were just the deleted scenes from the DVDs spliced in, probably by some random editor (with the producers blessing). There comes a point where extra footage is really just that, because it has no score recorded for it, sound effects and foley were never completed, and visual effects were never completed. Depending on how early in the process certain scenes were cut, they might be barely watchable, even in a deleted scenes section. For instance, watch the deleted scene from PoA which takes place in the Great Hall, in which Ron talks about the recent trip to Hogsmeade…there are supposed to be a number of effects in there, featuring kids playing with stuff they brought back from Zonko’s, etc, but the DVD doesn’t feature any of that. Unless a director takes a very personal investment in revisiting old material (like Ridley Scott, George Lucas, or Peter Jackson), Extended Cuts of films often fall a bit flat.

I see what you mean, but I’m still very excited for these to come out!! They last ones were really cool.

critterfur has made some very good points.

I’m just waiting for these Ultimate Editions to be released in the UK. Surely they must do it eventually.

Come on people, this is just another way of getting our money. I have all the dvd’s in blue rey and that is good enough for me.
