Separately:
M:I-1 CE (including ticket) = 1 Disc
M:I-2 = 2 Discs
M:I Collector's Set = M:I-1 CE + M:I-2 = 3 Discs (basically, you include a cardboard sleeve that holds both of the individual releases)
As far as I can tell, there is no "Bonus Disc". There is only the 2nd disc in the M:I-2 set.

Well, after all the research I've done on this title, I still got screwed in the end. I purchased the 3-disc boxed set (though I found out Tarantino was--I'm sure unintentionally--wrong about the Super Bowl TV spot for M:I 3, which is on the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: Special Collector's Edition as an Easter egg) because I couldn't resist the pretty box and can net back the $4 investment in rebuying M:I 2 by selling off my original; however, I neglected to realize that only boxes marked for the free M:I 3 movie ticket feature it, so no ticket for me! 
This release has become more trouble than it was worth, but oh well, it's over (for better or for worse) now. BUYERS BEWARE!!! Whether you're buying a single title or both in the box, look for the free ticket sticker on the outer case!!!

I picked the M:I collectors edition up today. The extras are pretty much worthless. There's maybe 10min of actual substance.
Haven't checked out the transfer yet, but I'm just glad it has an anamorphic transfer this time. Free ticket is nice too.

Two montages and two acceptance speeches as extras! The 2nd disc for MI-2 is all on MI!
These are horrible releases in terms of extras, I am really not happy about this. By far the worst "Special Edition" ever.

This was my only concern. Can't wait to watch the movie in all its glory again.

I was about to bite the bullet and pick up the non-anamorphic disc on the cheap a few months ago, but decided to wait to see if there would be a re-release to tie-in with MI-3.

Doesn't anyone have a sense of personal accountability in this day and age?
