National Treasure: 2-Disc Collector's Edition --> 12/18/07
According to ultimatedisney.com:
The set will include all of the 2005 DVD's bonuses plus additional deleted scenes introduced by director Jon Turtletaub, a sneak peek of the closely-timed sequel Book of Secrets, and the featurettes "Ciphers, Codes, and Code-Breakers", "On the Set of American History", "To Steal a National Treasure", "Exploding Charlotte."
I enjoyed this movie but I think I will stick with my single disc version. There's nothing there I really need to double-dip for.
(Sorry if this is a repost, I did a search and could not find another thread.)

Damn, I just picked this up for $6.99 at Best Buy a few weeks ago and now the upgrade...duh I should have known better. I will consider an upgrade if there is a free ticket to see Part 2 and a commentary.

For me, only worth an upgrade if there's a commentary...

If you happened to buy the original DVD at Best Buy when it was released, there was a bonus disc included. The extras on the bonus disc are: 1) On the set of American History 2) The Exploding Charlotte 3) To Catch a Thief. These appear to be the same extras included on the new release. The new release may have one or two other extras but without the movie cash included, I think I'll pass and keep what I have.

Here were the extras from the 1st release:
• On Location featurette (12 minutes)
• Deleted Scenes (8 minutes) with optional audio commentary
• Opening Animatic (2 min.)
• Alternate Ending (2 min.)
• Treasure Hunters Revealed featurette (9 minutes)
• Riley Poole's Decode This!
• The Templar Knights (5 minutes)
• Verizon Bonus
• Trivia Track
Here are the details for the new release (from DVDActive)
Disc One
• 2.35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen Transfer
• Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio
• Multilevel Treasure Hunt
• Alternate Ending with Optional Director's Audio Commentary
• Deleted Scenes with Optional Director's Audio Commentary
• Opening Scene Animatic with Optional Director's Audio Commentary
• National Treasure on Location
• The Knights Templar
• Treasure Hunters Revealed
• Riley's Decode This!—Plus Three Puzzling Challenges
Disc Two
• National Treasure: Book of Secrets Sneak Peek
• Additional Deleted Scenes with introductions
• Ciphers, Codes and Codebreakers
• On the Set of American History
• To Steal a National Treasure
• Exploding Charlotte
So it you already have the Best Buy Bonus disk, it makes this purchase hard to justifly for a few additonal features, no new film transfer, no movie cash for the sequel. But if your a true completist......
