I want to make sure i get a copy with the technicolor in it.

This is the only version on DVD that I know of, it's a restored print and includes the technicolor sequences. It's only available as an extra on the 4-Disc 1959 Ben-Hur SE. I've seen this DVD and the 1925 silent looks good considering the age of the film. Probably the best it will ever look.

I just bought it for £7.99 ($16 USD) from HMV.com. Was just going to get the 1959 version for £3, but it's such a brilliant deal for both the 1959 and 1925 versions, as well as tons of special features (set is four discs in all).

just buy it here in the good ol us of A. amazon has all 4 dvds in the box set for less than $9 (in the used & new seller section) and with free s&h for the holidays, you can't beat it!
