Well you knew it was inevitable but:
"Yes, you've been robbed. And if you haven't, you're about to. Miramax is planning on releasing no less than six (SIX!) versions of KILL BILL on DVD with hopes of either conning unsuspecting viewers into buying more than one version or taking advantage of Tarantino devotees who collect DVDs.
It's an all-too-popular M.O. for home entertainment companies who repeatedly return to the same well in an attempt to get "multiple bites at the apple," according to Miramax Chief Operating Officer Rick Sands. The New York Times spoke with Mr. Sands last Tuesday when he revealed the studio's plans for six different versions. He said rather callously, "This is the beauty of having two volumes...VOL. 1 goes out, VOL. 2 goes out, then VOL. 1 SPECIAL EDITION, VOL. 2 SPECIAL EDITION, the two-pack, then the Tarantino collection as a boxed set out for Christmas...And you multiply this internationally."

Except doughnuts; you know they're bad for you, but you just gotta buy one jammy doughnut or the taste. Mmmm
Consumer power: don't buy something you don't need or feel agrieved about.
This was inevitable. However, I had to buy this DVD regardless of that fact. I will no doubt buy the next on release too. I won't buy the Kill Bill box set though, unless it's packed with features and not overpriced.
I'll wait for the box set I think.

They're not ripping you off, it's up to the consumer to decide what to buy with their money or not. No amount of DVD rebranding and advertsing is going to change that (though admittedly the world is becoming a more gullible place in general).
