This one's sitting at home waiting on me. Amazon shipped via super-saving and it arrived three days after street date, which was fine since I didn't have time before then anyway. I can't wait to see this and some of the docs as it was a total blind buy for me...I don't even really remember when all of this happened.
But, as said, I'm pretty jacked about tearing into this set over the next week or so.

Reading a few of these threads again, I just whipped out my non-SE edition and decided to watch the movie again.

Overall I agree. There are just a couple of things that would have made it better though 
First Mark Bowden was on CSPAN's Booknotes one time (it's a program where authors talk about how they went about writing the book) and while the one History Channel features covers some of it I was kind of hoping they would include this as well. Another thing that would have been interesting, but probably harder/impossible to do (and some may consider it tacky/inapporpriate) would have been to include some of the actual radio transmissions and survellience pics that were taken during the incident w/ the Timeline for instance. I think that would have been interesting though in the sense that the DVD would then have given full coverage to the topic.

Bowden and co, most likely were not able to secure that from DoD. THey had the entire battle on tape (since they were watching from high above)
But DoD prolly said no :-)

This is a great set, but mine has a smashed corner on the outer casing. How I did this (or who), I don't know because it was fine when I bought it. If anyone knows how to contact Sony so I can possibly buy another case, I'd appreciate it.

Here is a link with some audio and video from the actual raid. Plus it's a very interesting read.

thanks... this is exactly the type of stuff I was hoping they would include. Oh well I guess you can't win them all, great set none-the-less. I finally finished all the features last night, now it's time to start on the commentaries

This is one of the first dvds i bought for the extras and not the movie(though after seeing the film for the first time i really enjoyed it). It is a really nice set.

Great film. Fantastic special edition. I have just scratched the surface of the extras and am impressed with attention to detail. Thanks to DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika. You did your usual great job.
