Highlights of the 36-minute bonus disc:
What Is Bullet Time?
Inside the Animatrix
The Second Renaissance — Part 2
from the site...sounds like all of this stuff has already been on other matrix discs..still it's better than nothing

Inside the Animatrix and 2nd Ren. Part 2 are on the Animatrix dvd.
Bullet time is on the original Matrix dvd isn't it? It had a John Geta (sp?) talking about how he came up with "bullet time."

Read at HTF that it might have both films' theatrical trailers (which, if I recall correctly, aren't on either of the films' DVDs). That would make it worth getting.

Yeah, to me, the bonus disc wouldn't be worthwhile if it had just those three recycled features. But to have the "Matrix" trailers, which I think are some of the most well-crafted trailers out there, would be cool.

Yeah, my friend and I watched the reloaded trailer like a billion times. It's really fun to play it in fast forward mode in quicktime, and I'm going to bb tonight at 12:00 to pick it up. Sounds sort of dumb but the first 100 get a free t-shirt and they're raffling off some other stuff!

The one here in Schaumburg, IL is in the ad to be opened from 12:00 to 1:00 am. You can go to the parking lot from 10:30pm to 11:40pm to sign up for prizes. It should say on the front page of the ad if your's is open.

more detail on bonus Matrix DVD in this site.
(dont' mind the chinese text here but it shows a pic of how the bonus dvd looks like and another pic of the Hong Kong R3 edition of The Matrix Reloaded. which is basically the same thing but with the addition of a holographic notepad)
basically, the guy says about the bonus disc that the disc quality is average, there's no menu screen for this disc, no subtitles.

I mean, who cares about a preview when you have the whole movie? Just my two cents

No crowd at my best buy at noon, got a version with the bonus disc. They had a ton left, though there were copies without the bonus on the shelf.
I didn't know anything about it, and I'm kind of excited to watch it just for the Animatrix stuff as I havent's seen any of them.

So, anybody watch the trailers yet? How's the quality? Dare I hope for nice-quality anamorphic widescreen?
