wow, didn't even know Soderbergh was involved with the movie. I was an extra during one of the race scenes. Fun times. Hope I can see myself on the dvd...we were right in the front...

The specs and artwork for the standard release are below:

I'll be getting this one for sure. Soderbergh's commentaries are always entertaining.

Too bad the wonderful American Expierence documentary is only included in the gift set. I was really hoping for it on the second disc of a 2-disc set. It was awesome, but there's no way I'll pay $5-$60 for it.

Soderburg sure must like doing commentaries. I was disappointed that there isn't a commentary track from author Laura Hillenbrand (a' la The Perfect Storm or Black Hawk Down). Those tend to be my favorite commentaries as you learn so much more.

from what i have heard, hillenbrand is too sick to do stuff like that. she couldn't even do much press for the film (i remember another author of a book on seabiscuit did some press for her).

will definitely pick this one up, i loved the movie!

tpp bad the featurette that was played at the sentator theater where they showed the race at pillico and a brief history is not included.
