I am wondering whether to buy Sin City when it comes out on dvd, or wait in case they release a special edition. What are you going to do?
Sin City - to buy or not to buy?
It's like the Kill Bills, a special edition was promised, yet i still got the initial DVD releases. Just as well as there's still no special edition Kill Bill out. In regards to Sin City, i'll probably wait a few weeks to see if a new edition is likely to be confirmed. After a month or so, if no new, me buy. Need to make sure i don't wait too long and miss all the good sleeves as well.

There is most definitely a SE of SIN CITY coming, with longer versions of each story and the ability to watch them as three separate flicks. But while a release date hasn't been announced yet, I'm sure it'll be closer to Christmas.
As much as I loved the movie, I'm gonna wait for that one.

According to a very reliable source that wished to remain anonymous Rope of Silicon has learned that the Special Edition release of the Sin City DVD should be hitting shelves in December, and to quote the source, "They are releasing it for Christmas sales."
A while back at, Robert Rodriguez spoke to Rope of Silicon told at the Sin City press junket:
"We shot the full stories of the books, and I knew we could truncate it down, knowing that we weren't going to lose any scenes; eventually they would all be available for people to see," Rodriguez said. "So the DVD will come out with the theatrical cut, and then there'll be a separate disc that's got the individual episodes separated with their own title card, and you can just watch 'The Big Fat Kill' from beginning to end, in the full cut as a single story, and then switch over and watch 'That Yellow Bastard' and that's 45 minutes. It'll have all the material back in. So it'll be like the experience of picking up the book, where you pick up one story and you read it from beginning to end. And it'll have all the material in it. You can shuffle your own version of the movie and just watch them all separately."

Here is the full interview that is quoted in the article JRS posted. Rodriguez makes it pretty clear that this disc was released for anti-piracy reasons only. It has zero extras, and he makes it quite clear that the SE is definitely the one to buy. I will be waiting for that.

But, to each his own. I just can't wait for the slick commentary tracks by Rodriguez and Frank Miller!

I saw this sitting on the shelf at Walmart and it was calling out to me for $15.99. I was going to wait, but I crumbled. I am glad I did, I love this movie. I will of course be getting the SE when it comes out also.

sin city is the best movie, and the most well read movie i have seen in years after pulp fiction. i would definately buy that movie. im going to ask for it once i get to iraq next month
Personally, I'm gonna wait for the special edition due out in Britain in December.
I loved Sin City, and have so far managed to resist the temptation to rush out and buy it, purely because I loathe the fact that the film companies keep releasing different versions of films, personally I'm always intrested in DVD extras, especially director's cut and commentaries.
Roll on december!!!
