To be honest, you're better off waiting until November when the other version comes out. I mean, NO special features whatsoever? It's a joke.

I bought it at Bestbuy for $22.99
I had a $10 certificate so it was real cheap for both BLU RAY and DVD. I don't care about extras.
For home viewing the 2D versions are much brighter than seeing the 3D versions since depending on the 3D tech you will lose 50% of the brightness of the image. The DTS Master quality audio is awesome for the BLU RAY and for me I can interpolate the DVD version to 60 FPS or higher using POWER DVD 9 Ultra so it really is a case of having the best of both worlds. So it is definitely worth it.
