Underworld LE? (price drop)
I saw this when I was looking through comingsoon.net's dvd release time table to see how much January is going to cost me. (and it is not pretty) Anyway, I followed the link to Amazon, and it is the 2-Disc Unrated Extended Cut picture with a bonus disc with the cover art of Underworld: Evalution on it. The best part you ask? it is only 14.95. The cheapest I can find the 2-discer is 24.14 from DDD. Not too sure about the LE part, but that is what comingsoon.net called it.

This is just a price drop with an added disc to promote the sequel. The bonus disc is probably some fluff promo piece on Evolution. The limited edition is probably not worth a double or triple dip, but if you do not already own Underworld, this is a bargain. Although, getting this through Columbia House would still be cheaper overall.
Sony's web page lists the contents as "sneak Peek Bonus Disc of Underworld: Evolution."

DVD Empire is selling the "limited edition" at $13.00.

Here's what I don't understand about these things. DVDs are dirt cheap for the studios. Why not drop this for free in stores or via the web. It would create a good buzz for the picture, and it will buy you good will with potential viewers. By making it available only in an already-existing edition, you cut down on your audience dramatically, and they should know people will bitch about "fluff EPK" stuff when if it were free their reactions would be very different. Foolish.
EDIT: This was not a knock on your comments at all fryingpan. I would have used the same exact words you did (fluff promo).

A link would be nice. I went to comingsoon, I looked through Jan and Feb and see no such thing. I don't see it at Amazon either.

Also, Amazon and buy.com list the limited edition with a January 10, 2006 release date; however, overstock and dvdempire list it with a January 17, 2006 release date.

Sony's LEs and giftsets seem to be coming down in price. I saw Spiderman 2 giftset and various giftsets selling for $16.99 at Costco today.
How I wish the older Seinfeld seasons/giftset would get a price drop too

Just picked up the Extended Cut on Amazon for $15.97. Had had my eye on this for awhile, and finally caved when I noticed DDD and every other online vendor still had it priced at $24+, with B&M prices hovering around $30. Thanks to the OP for mentioning this.
