派拉蒙的幾乎不用擔心 ,
華納的老片和2面片有可能 .
夢工廠很少 .
福斯強片有可能 .
歌倫比亞 ,樂此不疲 ,superbit感覺像是射飛標決定的~~~

如果買來就會馬上看 而且看很多遍的話
那就快買吧
一直在乎會不會出新版
那買片不是很辛苦ㄇ??
最多出新版的時候跟大家一起在網路上咒罵一下嘛
最後也還是乖乖掏錢

如果買來都不看 只是供在那邊的話
那你倒是可以慢慢等
因為一些有賣座保證 有賺頭的dvd
沒有生意人會眼睜睜發現商機而不去開發的
不過這樣就累了一點........要是枯等不到 豈不是錯過一部好片...

老實說
我現在手頭上有買的所謂後來再出的特別版 加長版 sb版 導演版等的片子
我都是擁有過普版 才因為要改買新版才脫手的
當然也有舊版賣不掉的例子
不過我不後悔

如果財力有限, 你又這麼在意規格的話, 建議先從上映年代 3~5 年以上的電影來收藏, 可能比較好, 因為, 基本上, 這些電影的 DVD Title 大致出了兩三版, 最精銳的太概也出了, 所以, 比較好挑 ....

至於新片, 還是三思而後行比較好~~

商品到了衰退期，就用這種方法來延長生命週期啊！
等著瞧，以後出了新的視聽格式…也會照舊。

老片不死，更不會凋零。

這是不是有點像國語專輯
老是賣了1個月左右就開始改版
送一些VCD或寫真卡之類的舉動？
一區的美版倒是很會搞這樣的動作
日本二區則是剛好相反
每每一出就是限量初回限定版
讓你不得不珍藏，之後也不會後悔
所以看個人吧，像樓上的大大說的
還是已經發行數年的片子可以考慮收藏了
至於新片真的還是忍一忍吧∼

以個人觀點來說,絕大部份的片子若非是規格上有嚴重缺損的片子
不然的話,任它再出甚麼再多的"終極毀滅無敵超越時空有病治病沒病強身"版
都不會引起我的興趣

要知到新碟的release消息甚至是一些insider news,
可以要國外很多dvd論壇,這現在多得是,不怕找不著,只怕你不找

我會先購買平裝版或稱第一版 , 因為不知道會否出特別版 ??!!
如日後出特別版, 如 SuperBit, 則會再購買特別版, 而將平裝版賣了 !!
因為壓縮技術的進步, 畫面會清晰, 音效亦會更好 !!

如題

Basically, there are tell tale signs here and there if you read DVDs sites
as frequently as I do. It really depends on the studio.

I will try to break it down:

Starting from about 2 years ago, Fox usually tries to release the best edition the first time around (Moulin Rouge, Abyss, ID 4, Fight Club). The re-leases are usually bare bone or P&S Editions

Before the Ultimate Edition line was dropped, there is always a slim chance for Universal to re-lease older movies (The Mummy, Meet Joe Black, ets). Now, I buy Universal DVDs with confidence because the studio releases pretty good DVDs the first time around, and offering different editions, too.

Buying Dreamworks DVDs is very safe because it usually tries to release the best edition the first time around

WB usually does not re-release DVDs unless it is for aniversary purposes and big movies ( Singin' in the Rain SE, Harry Potter, etc). First time around, WB will release bare bone 1 disk editions except for blockbusters. The re-leased versions usually get 2 disk SE treatments and will come in Harry Potter pacakges( Amadeus SE, etc ).

Paramount did not start doing re-release until this year. When the studio does do that, it usually focus on certain series ( Star Trek, Jack Ryan Collection, etc ). If the first release is a 2 disk SE, it is unlikely to re-leased any time soon ( Forrest Gump ).

Buena Vista / Disney usually does not do re-leases, either. Since the introduction of Vista Series, BV tries to get some movies into VS the first time around ( Who Framed Roger Rabbit ). When Disney does re-leases, the newer edition usually will be the same with the old (A bug's Life ). So buying VS or Disney DVDs are pretty safe.

MGM usually does not do re-releases, even though the the first editions are usually bare bone, until recently ( Silence of the Lamb SE, Die Another Day SE ).

Columbia is the most likely to re-release DVDs; however, there are always news that Columbia will do re-releases when some DVDs are released for the first time ( Panic room, Resident Evil, Spiderman ). If a blockbuster movie ( XXX ) only gets a 1 disk treatment the first time around, it is almost a certainty that a SE or Superbit is on the way. This Studio is the most unpredictable.

Out of the DVDs I own, I have only had to buy a re-lease for about 5 movies. Of which, most of them are from Columbia.
