A lot of the same "embodiment" talk in each one, regarding their loved ones and the actors. It's kinda hard to take seriously now, knowing what the black box proved abotu their involvement in the supposed downing of the plane.

For a movie like United 93, Universal should have gone the Jarhead packaging route.

I totally second that point! I figured all the other limited editions that you could never find were in nice packaging, so I thought they'd do the same for United 93.

what?! it has a slipcover as well! man, what a rip off, why did i spent so much more on my preorder then! i thought the single disc would be without a slipcover and that the limited would probably be a nice digi. the extras better make up for the extra bucks!

Extras on the single-disc will include an audio commentary with the director, and a United 93 - The Families and the Film documentary which takes a look at the real-life stories behind the brave passengers and crew. The two-disc limited edition will include all of that, along with a 50 minute documentary entitled "Chasing Planes: Witnesses to 9/11"
