I'm totally at a loss as to how they put this cockamamie set together! This has to be the worst use of a premium two-disc set yet...

* Filling disc two with the film again just for a different ending, instead of using branching to put both versions on disc one.

* Having to download the featurettes rather than having them on disc two (which would have been sensible, if branching had been used on disc one)

* Two-disc special edition - where's the trailers, TV spots, etc? Is having a digital copy supposed to make up for this absence?

I got the blu version, which simply includes the featurette material. I assumed incorrectly that it would be on the two-disc standard def set.

Following Paramount's Into the Wild two-discer, where you pay a premium for two 20 minute by-the-numbers featurettes, it seems right now that folk might really want to see exactly what's on that two-discer, rather than perhaps automatically going for the "fancy" version.

Ugh.
