Actually, there was one bit of info that I found very disappointing: I'm sure it was originally announced that Mel Gibson would join in on the commentary track. That was the main reason I ordered this disc, I love his work on the Braveheart track, and I though he might liven up Devlin and Emmerich. I'm a little bummed!
