Has anbody seen this in a shop yet?

I just want to know how it is packaged.

Does it look like on the photos or did they put the original DVD and the "Lost Disc" into a new slipcase like the Spider-Man DE?

There is a reason for me asking this - if the "Lost Disc" is just in a clear DVD case taped to the original DVD then I'll order the bilingual Canadian version and add the "Lost Disc" to my old US-DVD. But if there's a new slipcover I'll have to order it from a US shop to avoid getting a bilingual cover.

I just got this in the mail. It's the original 2 disc release, packed in shrink wrap with a separate, new third disc that features 8 featurettes on the movie. The new disc is in a fold around cardboard cover, and a plastic disc holder, with the title on the outside, so that you can put it on your shelf next to the two disc standard edition. I haven't watched "The Lost Disc" yet, but this doesn't look like any reason to upgrade if you have the original.

Yeah, it's kind of lame, no new packaging, and the extra disc isn't much greater than the bonus discs you get at Best Buy.

It's the lamest packaging ever. It looks like those really long double disc packs. The double disc is shrinkwrapped next to the original disc, not behind it.

Ugh.

Ugh.
plus you don't get the slipcover with it. Then again, it's hard to find copies with the slipcover anywhere now.

It seems pretty unlikely that it will offer anything I feel like I need to upgrade to the 3-discer. I watched a number of the extras, but skipped some of the diary stuff. I envision a bit more of the same from a third disc.

It would be nice if you could just pick up the 3rd disc alone somewhere.

Yep...saw it in the store today. Some SE. Same release as before shrinkwrapped with a totally separate disc in a clear crystal case, and the disc says "The Lost Disc" on it. No insert or anything. Pretty lame.

I'm sure the extra disc will show up on Ebay in a week.

I'm sure a lot thought and millions of dollars went into the design of that packaging

I remember back then.. up to now.. extra disc did not surface and the said set was not the "it" to DVD consumers and collectors
