I bought that one because it was $9 cheaper and it was in stock at my local Best Buy. Steelbooks are nice but I'll go for the cheaper packaging every time.
Yeah, there comes a point where people have talked about an event so much over the years that they just go into the same stories when asked about it. And I'm sure Friedkin passed that point with The Exorcist decades ago.
I basically agree but it would be nice if Warners included the Blu-ray so I don't "have to" keep another Blu-ray case on my shelves to have all the extras.
