this is a reissue of the classic movie in 1986, bare bones dvd was released in 1998 i think. now it's a double disc in anamorphic widescreen and dts!

quoted from digitalbits

"Here's one I know you've been waiting for. 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 bring it to you when it's ready to go."

Hmmm... looks like they're re-releasing all those Tom Cruise's bare bones DVDs, just like Born on the 4th... hope they'll do the same with MI in the furture... you know, 2-discs...

Then I guess Amazon haven't updated yet their info on the release date as of this time...

Great news- here comes my third version!

First one was laserdisk, second the DVD release and now the re-release.

I was on the Philippines when this was first shown. My date totally ignored me for Tom Cruise! He,he!

Then I joined the US Navy and found myself on a aircraft carrier watching the flight deck action ring side! Had the kick-ass experience of being launched off those catapults (wish I was driving!) and landing on those decks.

The original DVD release is pretty well done (this next one ought to do better!). It had all the authentic sounds and clanks of those catapults and arresting gear. Only thing missing was the heat and smell of those jet fumes!

Yeah! Feel those after burners again. My subs will definitely have a field day!

sometimes they're delayed in updating their dvd details, the people from digitalbits were informed by the guys from paramount.

I have experienced a lot of rides on a C-2 Greyhound.

And S-3 Vikings

But the most special one was they granted me a one-time request to ride the Tomcat for the one time I re-enlisted. (I just did ten years in the US Navy.)

That was indeed the most special ride of my life!

I also got the laser disc back then. I'll definitely get this one

from dvd.ign.com:

September 17, 2004 - Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced Top Gun: Special Collector's Edition for release on December 14, a little later than the November release date that had been rumored earlier this year. It will sell for around $19.99.

The 1986 film starred Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer as hotshot fighter pilots, while Kelly McGillis is the requisite female romantic interest.

The film will be presented in 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen with English DTS 6.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX audio. Extras will include an audio commentary by director Tony Scott, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, screenwriter Jack Epps and some retired military officers, six documentaries on the making of the film, a Tom Cruise interview and multi-angle storyboards with an optional commentary by director Tony Scott

Also included will be four music videos from the soundtrack that turned into huge hits: Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens' "Top Gun Anthem," Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone," Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" and Loverboy's "Heaven in Your Eyes."

No artwork as yet.

wow! you're one lucky fella, i've always wanted to board the carrier and see those planes
i loved the f-14s, too bad they will be decomissioning these birds when they transition to f/a-18e and f.
even the test squadron in point mugu (vx-9) ended their vandy planes

what squadron have you flown using s-3s?

cheers

from digitalbits..

The title had originally been expected in November, but it's now officially set to hit store shelves on 12/14. By the way, we hear the DTS soundtrack on the disc is to die for. ;-)

I'm planning to get this at GameStop because they have a promo now where you can trade-in any 3 used DVD titles for an upcoming DVD title (choices are limited though). I was able to do this with Spiderman 2 (SE) (will pick it up on 11/30) and I traded-in the ff. DVDs: My Cousin Vinny, Cobra and Hard To Kill (about $5.50 each).
