Are there features new to the Blu-ray that aren't on the HD DVD (I mean really new, not recomposed from the HD DVD) ... I already have the (initial) DVD release and the HD DVD release ... don't tempt me to get the Blu-ray too

Nice! Universal announced another title as well for the same day, right?
Edit: Scratch that. The other title is apparently not coming.
Also (I'm not home so I can't check) does this include the extra features found on the 2 Disc DVD edition of Serenity in the cool packaging?

Whedon said last year he had done picture-in-picture commentary with the cast, so maybe this is it.
I already have WS, WS CE, and HD DVD. I hate to quadruple-dip, but I could suck it up for this one.

Not only that, Firefly comes out next week while it still almost 2 months till Serenity. Universal should have releases Serenity at the same tie - even if they are not from the same studio it would have helped sales.

So on closer examination, sounds like the commentary is not totally new content but the PiP aspect would be.

I don't know if any of the R1 releases (SD, HD, BR) have the 40 minute Joss Whedon Q&A session from Fox Studios in Sydney, but I know the R2/4 release does.

Heh, you're already behind in your Serenity colleciton if you don't also have the R2/4 (Aussie) DVD with the "extra" extras (the ones not on the R1 DVD, or the HD DVD) in the cool collector's tin.
