Originally posted by AppleOnYa: I almost bought The Trilogy last Sunday
Since I couldn't stand to spend that much just yet on, a) 2 films that I can wait to see when they're next on tv; b) one film I never liked and can't picture myself ever sitting through; and c) extras that while they're fun I can live without at this point in time....I decided against it and put the box set down.
However, I did see and buy The Johnny Carson Collection for fourteen dollars less!! Something that I know I'll enjoy and that I'd NEVER see on television.
The Godfather Trilogy won't go anywhere...I'm sure I'll get it someday (maybe even for less than $50).

Apple Hey Apple, this is the Gangster BB site. Not the Talk Show BB site! What kind of a GF fan are you anyway! You can live without it! How can you go without owning this set! How can you live without the extra footage? (just kidding now, so please don't lash out at me just yet.) No, all joking aside, here you go : http://search.ebay.com/godfather-dvd_W0QQfkrZ1QQfnuZ1QQxpufuZx Don Cardi

I'm sick of having to hook up the VCR everytime I want to watch The Godfather, not to mention rewinding the tapes everytime. It's really come down in price. I bought it for $69 two years ago, but now you can get it in the $45-$50 range . The bonus disk is worth every penny, let alone the films themselves. [/b]It is $51.99 at Best Buy. I got a $100 dollar gift card for Christmas, so I just wanted to make sure I was making the right choice.

Don C...the extra footage is what ALMOST got me to make the purchase! Those words jumped out at me right off the box. But still, it was the price and timing that helped in making the final decision. Even with the existence of GFIII which I probably won't ever watch...I do feel it'll be a better investment to eventually own the trilogy than the individual films separately. So maybe in a few months, after my tax refund comes through...!!! See, no lashing out... ! Apple

It's worth the investment. I bought it when it was still $84.99, and I questioned my reasoning, but once I popped in GFII for the first time, I realized then that I woulda payed $300 for this set if I had to. BTW... I like GFIII. Yes, the story has more holes in it than a street in Orange County, CA, and yes, Sophia Coppola was terrible, but overall, I think its a good film. And you gotta admit, it was among the better films that game out that year. Well ok, you don't gotta admit that, but whatever, I like it.
