Anyone buy Citizen Kane on DVD? "Rich" and "M. Homeless" get ignored, btw.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I just saw an article on MSN that claimed it was on DVD now. It must have just been released, cause it sure wasn't out a few weeks ago. Either that, or they're wrong (which is likely imo).
I've not seen the film since college, and would love to own it on DVD. I bought "The Third Man" on DVD having never seen it before, and paid the price premium for it. I can only guess Citizen Kane will cost 80 smackers on the "deluxe" DVD, which would likely include a phone-book length "making of" manual, or else 10 extra "making of" DVD's...
IMO, "The Third Man" is not a better film than Citizen Kane (I'm of course not alone there), and I wonder if Roger Ebert's preference for it over Kane doesn't smack of emotional, subjective, indulgent sentimentality? Nobody's perfect; I admit my favorite films are born from much of those human failings...not that they aren't fine examples of a motion picture. Just that the snobs among us find them silly...well, snobs are silly.
