Matrix Special Edition Cancelled
An anonymous reader writes "According to The Digital Bits, the recently announced Matrix Special Edition has been cancelled. Rumor is that it was cancelled by the Wachowski brothers in hopes of coming out with a Super Collectors Special Edition later."
How can they hope to keep up with the X-Men franchise?
but George Lucas has that idea patented already.

In times of crises, they alter it to suit their needs.
no one can be told what the speciali edition is... ;)
The real reason is that the machines from the Matrix and the machines from Skynet are in different unions, and refuse to work together in the same world, just to entertain us humans.
Job? I don't have time to get a job! Who will sit around and bitch about being broke and unemployed then?
.. there is no Special Edition.
No need to worry, the Super Ultra Deluxe Megaton Special Edition DX Matrix will be coming out soon.
I am a filthy pirate.
Will this one have all guns replaced by walkie-talkies? Or is that Super Extended Collectors Special Edition?
Dammit. Could have been so much cooler.
You are not the customer.
Super Mega Ultra Special Edition of the Matrix trilogy. That will include enough code to actually create your own Matrix, enslave, at the very least, members of your own family AND do wire work with the best of them (assuming the best of them can't do the kung fu moves without being attached to a wire rig). And it will be reasonably priced for the holiday season.

Well I guess we can't have everything.
At least we'll have the Platinum Edition, Superbit Edition, Limited Edition, Full Screen Edition, Widescreen Edition, Platinum Series Exteneded Edition, Collector's Edition, Boomstick Edition, Box Set, Unrated Edition, Criterion Edition, Ultimate Edition, 20th Anniversary Edition (in 20 years), Director's Cut, Deluxe Edition and of course this Super Collectors Special Edition to buy and enjoy!
My god I'm stick of DVD editions.
The world is neither black nor white nor good nor evil, only many shades of CowboyNeal.
Stuff is news, from nerds that matter.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
You know, there are places where you can borrow movies for a limited time for a small fee.

And how is this any different from posting on Slashdot?
I got sucked in to buying both rereleases of the original Star Wars series on VHS. I know that I'll shell out for the re-re-release when the finally put it on DVD.
I barely avoided buying both releases of LOTR Fellowship, only by 'borrowing' the first two disk set from family and 'forgetting' to return it until the four-disk came out. (come to think of it, I may still have the first set..)
I've worn out the Matrix on VHS, and I 've been waiting to rebuy it on DVD, but I KNEW that a special edition would come out as soon as I bought it.
Now, it's close enough that I can just wait and buy the whole box set. For once, I'll come out ahead in this game.
Neo must be tampering with the Matrix...
I agree -- Episode II is indeed slightly better than Episode I, but both are essentially alike.
I'm putting those Wachowski brothers on double secret probation.
Game... blouses.
Bless you.
