Today at work, while waiting for a workshop to begin, I read online that [the Godfather was going to be released on dvd in October](http://www.cnn.com/2001/SHOWBIZ/Movies/06/12/video.godfather.reut/index.html). This is going to be a Godfather collection and include all three films plus bonus stuff. Mr. Grace and I have put off buying it on video because we wanted it on dvd and now it’s finally being released on dvd.

So who else is going to be forking over $75 for this collection? Hot damn! I’m excited and I can’t wait to get it.

I’m going to get it on DVD. My parents bought me the trilogy in VHS last Christmas. I was practically drooling when I saw what they were going to have as BONUS extras.

That’s the reason why I never bought it on VHS. I knew just as soon as I bought it, they would release it on DVD. I can’t tell you how many movies I have in DVD and VHS.

**Heloise** , if your friend is a Godfather fan, I’m sure this would make a great gift especially since he’d get all three movies. That’s a pretty sweet deal.

I’m _so_ there dude. 😃 I’ve been waiting for ages for this to come out. I never got to see the original in a theater but got to see Pt. II when it was shown in Phoenix last year. Aside from that I’ve had to make do with the chopped VHS version.
