Any bonus features?
Or should I not bother because they are all of poor quality.

Thanks, PP

I got my copy at a Target store for a buck, and it says, "2006 PC Treasures" on it. The UPC is 234-03-0441, and it plays just fine for a $1 film, though not a world class transfer. It was great for bringing back memories of watching it on TV 30 years ago! The end is very touching.

Just got the 2006 release from PC Treasures, Inc. from Target(R),
UPC is 671196038773
Only paid 25¢, quality?

I have two versions of the film. First is: 2004 August, UPC: 090328901202 (no extras, region-free, payed $3.99 which was probably too much!). And the second I found @ Goodwill for a buck; used, but the disc is mint condition. This one is: 2004 January, UPC: 798622306524, which has some extras on it. In fact, here's a list of them from the same release page on Half:

So the picture and audio quality of the release, "2004 January, UPC: 798622306524" is not atrocious? Good to know. Thank you.
