From http://www.digitalbits.com :

Paramount has just revealed to us that they'll be releasing the Top Gun: Special Collector's Edition on 11/16 (SRP $19.99). There will be separate anamorphic widescreen and full frame versions of the release, each a 2-disc set. The widescreen version will be presented at an aspect ratio of 2.40:1. Both versions will feature audio in English Dolby Digital 5.1 EX and DTS 6.1 ES, along with French Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround. Extras will include audio commentary (by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Tony Scott, screenwriter Jack Epps and Top Gun vets Captain Mike Galpin, retired Admiral Pete Pettigrew and Vice Admiral Mike McCabe), 6 documentaries on the making of the film and its cultural impact (from pre-production through its theatrical release), 4 music videos (Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone, Berlin's Take My Breath Away, Loverboy's Heaven in Your Eyes and Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens' Top Gun Anthem), a vintage Tom Cruise interview, a vintage behind-the-scenes featurette, a vintage Survival Training featurette, multi-angle storyboards with optional commentary by director Tony Scott, and 7 original TV spots. Nice. No cover art is approved yet, but we'll being it to you when it's ready to go.

Well, it's not a bad movie, but I'm not big enough a fan to buy it. However, a 2-disc set for $19.99 SRP? This is the same Paramount that used to charge $29.99 for DVDs that didn't have a single feature.

Of course, knowing The Digital Bits, they probably got their info wrong.

Yeah, I cannot imagine a decent SE for under $20.

This one deserves a lot better if that's indeed the case.
