Nah.. it's not necessary. We got a $120 DVD player for Christmas and [having watched the VHS 25+ times *blushes*] it's amazing what sound quality we get just out of the 
two little speakers built into the TV. I once scoffed at people raving about DVD quality sound, but color me impressed.

I was rather unimpressed by the SS/PS extras. When you get right down to it, the only really good extras are the deleted scenes. I'm glad the COS DVD will have lots of 
interviews and stuff. Here's a peek at the cover.

Yeah, it's the same as the theatrical poster, but it gave me a little thrill to see it. :-)

And for the record, I only got to see COS twice in the theater (and one was that disastrous time with the disappearing howler scene). We wanted to see it a third time, but 
my local small town theater took it off a week before Christmas. *sigh*
