Sin City : Recut & Extended Edition

Just a mere 4 months after its essential release with a bare-bones DVD, Frank Miller's Sin City hits the shelves again with a massive Special Edition DVD set.
We new that it was coming, but this is practically on the heels of the first release. Also the new set also features the original theatrical release that was on the first DVD.
The new special edition is set to be released on December 13th and will retail for $39.99. The 2-disc set will have the 125 min original theatrical release and a 147 min extended cut, That's right, over 20 min of added material. Also it will be split up into the 4 separate stories. There are 3 new commentary tracks with the director, Frank Miller, Quentin Tarantino and 1 with crowd reactions. The second disc has over 14 featurettes with bloopers and a interactive game. The topper on this great set is the inclusion of the complete Sin City graphic novel "The Hard Goodbye" by Frank Miller. The graphic novel alone retails at $17.95 in most comic shops. I did pick up the first release because I just love this film, but it looks like my first copy will be hitting Ebay come December.
