I agree that it is frustrating never knowing which version of a DVD to buy, because you keep waiting and thinking how a 'better' verison may still come out. Perhaps a way to solve this could be to announce ahead of time the possibilites that a different version will come out. Like with the LoTR DVDs, it was made very clear to the public that there will be two versions to buy before the first went on sale.
Personally, I think the improvements made to the DVDs are always for the best. I really enjoy the extended scenes, improved effects, etc.
Yes, they are a different movie than the theatrical release. In the case of movies that were nominated / won awards, then no matter what it is a good film. The 'new' DVD editions only make that great film better, which I see no problem with.
