for 11/30.

Apparently they're releasing 3 "versions": 2 of them will be similar to what they did with the original (Widescreen and Fullscreen 2 Disc sets with tons of extras) and then a Superbit release (which is a better transfer of the movie and no extras) and then, of course, you can get both movies boxed together.

Who's happy? :wave:

-edit- Here's mas info from the same place...

The film will be available in separate full frame and anamorphic widescreen (aspect ratio 2.40:1) versions, both of which will feature audio in English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0. Both versions will also include 2 audio commentary tracks on Disc One - one with director Sam Raimi, producer Avi Arad, co-producer Grant Curtis and star Tobey Maguire, and another with FX supervisor John Dykstra and his effects team. Disc One will also include a Spidey Sense subtitle trivia track, 4 web-i-sodes, Train's Ordinary music video, a blooper reel and original trailers and TV spots. Disc Two will deliver the 12-part Making the Amazing documentary, 3 featurettes (including Hero in Crisis, Eight Arms to Hold You and The Women of Spider-Man), the Enter the Web multi-angle "Pier Sequence" deconstruction, a gallery of Alex Ross paintings, a look at the Spider-Man 2 videogame, web links and an Easter egg.

For you maximum video bitrate and DTS fans, Spider-Man 2 will also be released in a movie-only SuperBit edition that same day. A 2-pack of Spider-Man 2 and the original Spider-Man will be available as well. Finally, there's going to be a limited edition gift set (priced at about $50), which will contain the 2-disc DVD along with a miniature version of Marvel's The Amazing Spider-Man #50 comic, a set of 5 collector's cards and a 25-page portfolio of artwork from numerous comic book artists.

What happened to having a normal release with a couple of extras?

I am.

Superbit is such a ripoff. Yeah, better transfer and sound mix but the ones on most current releases are just fine. Plus, no extras. For me, one of the most intriguing things about collecting DVDs is the extras (especially commentaries).

I'll get the initial release definitely though. Awesome movie.

Why must they bring out fifty million copies of each movie. Its almost not worth getting since you know when ever they bring Spiderman 3 out that they will also bring out a special, deluxe, ultra rare, never before seen version on dvd. But just like everyone else I will probably get it when it comes out on dvd also.

And not only that but about a year later they will release a boxed set of the whole trilogy with tons of extras including never before seen footage of bullshit.

Ah, I've heard rumors about Sam Rami's work on documentaries on maneur. Now I'll finally get to see them!
