  • Audio Commentary with former mobster Henry Hill and former FBI Agent Edward McDonald

Report this post		Ive put off buying Goodfellas on blu-ray so far (somehow!) - it will be interesting to see if this new 20th anniversary edition has better PQ than the existing one so Im definitely going to hold on longer.

Report this post		It's just plain repackaging. When Warner does a real new edition (which isn't very often), they change the artwork (cf. North By Northwest). Here, you even get the same labels on the discs.

Well, at least, I will be able to focus on new releases this time.

I wonder if the normal 5.1 sound on the first release has been updated to HD 5.1 though?

Im going to wait and see anyway.
