After a two year hold out, mostly due to my search for the best price, I couldn't pass up buy.com's offer of $59 and some cents with free shipping for the Godfather DVD. I'm so elated, but I will soon return to a morbid depressed state once my credit bill comes. I did a little bit too much online shopping this past month.

I just checked buy.com and its now listed at $71.40. I usually get stuck on the bad side of deals like this, but not this time.

That's what he said, and why not?! grin I did, and happy I did. I got mine for £23.99--cheapest I've ever seen it. Don't know how much that is in dollars.

Congrats, Mal, on perhaps the best purchase you'll ever make! grin And welcome to the BB, too.

I'm was an unemployed college student when it came out. I had to wait for a good price. But after renting it a couple of times, I didn't really have the desire to buy it anymore until I saw it at that price. I felt I could never find it lower than that, so I got it.

Well I got it a couple months ago, and am still amazed on how many extra things are in the bonus disc. I haven't actually played the trilogy yet. smile All the deleted scenes and extras are great. Being new to DVD's I want to make sure I click every clickable link!! grin While viewing the family tree, I noticed you can get a breakdown of each family by clicking on a name. I'm loving it tho! One of the best investments I've made in recent years! smile

TB, you were right my friend!! The Box Set is the way to go. (However, I still want to get the chronological version some day too wink )

TIS, Easter Eggs are little things on dvds that are hidden. They will give you things like dvd credits, extra footage, trailers, etc... Here's some for The Godfather collection...

On the 5th disc the extra features go to "set up " & press right on the key pad and a globe will pop up.

On the bonus disc, go to DVD credits. Push next twice. Arrow down from previous to next, press enter. The Soprano Regime are sittng around watching a stolen bootleg godfather dvd.

Click on "Galleries," then "DVD Credits." Hit "next" 4 times and you'll get an FBI warning screen you'll actually enjoy watching.

On the 5th disc (bonus selections) go to the "Family Tree." Select Santinos branch. Highlight the photograph of "adult" Sonny. Access the egg by highlighting James Caan's headshot. You will discover a brief snippet which was apparently part of James Caan's audtion. It is an amusing impersonation of Brando as Terry Malloy in "On the Waterfront".

On the "Bonus Materials" disc, go to the Family Tree section. Upon selecting any of the characters in this section, you will be taken to a "biography" screen of the character with their respective picture on the top of the screen. Simply push "up" on your controller, and you can select the picture. Selecting the picture gives you an acotr/actress bio... as of 1974!

On the first screen (young Vito sat singing to himself), select Scene Selections or SetUp, then select Return to Main Menu. You'll see a different screen, showing Michael opposite Fredo in the boathouse. Do the same again, and see a rather grisly screen showing Vito's revenge!


On the Extra Features disc, go to Filmmakers page and select Mario Puzo. In his bio, press left twice and you will see a dollar sign highlight over the text of the bio. Press enter and Mario will tell you why he wrote The Godfather.

You can also access different parts of the Behind the Scenes section from the filmmakers bios by pressing left, highlighting their names and pressing enter.

These are for the R1 version

Damn!!! Thanks Scarface RH! It's taken me so long to go thru the bonus disc alone, and today I thought I had seen everything, but I guess not. ohwell I'm also new with a DVD player and it's taking me a while to figure everything out. I'm gonna have to print out the post you just made and hope I see everything. I didn't know they were called Easter eggs

Thanks again, for taking the time to explain. wink
