Sonny, a Blu-Ray edition of the Trilogy was released in the US about two years ago. It's called "The Coppola Restoration," and it's a legitimate difference from the earlier DVD release. The difference, in addition to Blu-Ray, is that they really did work with different prints to restore some of the quality that was lost in the first DVD release--the "Restoration" version is sharper and has much better color.
But, I'm not surprised that they have a "40th Anniversary Edition." Paramount has been milking the Trilogy for decades with various flavors and nuances. Any day now we'll have "The Tenth Anniversary of Brando's Death" edition; the "Gianni Russo Remembers" edition; "The Mystery of the Year of the Great Massacre Revealed" editon... That's the name of the game though, Turnbull. You hit a jackpot like Paramount did and you don't let it go!

I just found out that there's apparantly a REVISED (and probably final) 3rd edition (dated May 11, 1971) of the screenplay of Part I, as opposed to the 3rd edition (dated March 29, 1971) that is available for free on the internet. http://scriptcity.com/index.php?p=product&id=2027&parent=0So this means that this revised 3rd edition is probably the final shooting script that is included in the 40th anniversary edition. This also means that the price for this edition is quite normal, as the screenplay is priced at about 20 dollars. The normal Coppola restoration is normally priced around 50 dollars. I don't think I'm going to buy this anytime soon because of the price and the fact I already own the Coppola restoration. But eventually I want to get my hands on it because of the script.

LOL...you forgot the "I swear on my kids' lives "Carlo Remembers" edition.
