Cinema Paradiso: 2-disc CE & 3-disc LE -- 11/7/06
From DavisDVD:
I would assume this is very similar to the R2 collector's edition that never materialized earlier this year. Personally, I'd upgrade simply to be rid of the flipper on the previous edition, but the 3-disc sound very nice and I may go that route depending on the actual pricing. The Food Network extras are a bit odd, but whatever. 
The Weinstein Company and Genius Entertainment will release the beloved Cinema Paradiso: Collector's Edition on November 7th. The new two-disc set arrives with both the domestic and extended cuts of the film presented in 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen, Italian Dolby Digital 5.1 and with English subtitles. Bonus materials will include an audio commentary with Italian film expert Millicent Marcus and director Giuseppe Tornatore, "Love In The Time Of Cinema: Celebrating A Classic" documentary and the Cinema Paradiso-themed episode of Food Network's "Easy Entertaining With Michael Chiarello." Retail is $24.99.
Also available is the Cinema Paradiso: Limited Collector's Edition boxed set which will add composer Ennio Morricone's soundtrack CD, Cinema Paradiso-inspired recipes from Food Network chefs, collectible lobby cards and theatrical one sheet reproductions. Retail for this will be $39.99.

Wow, that Food Network stuff sounds like a spoof. Who would want that?

I think I might have to buy the 3-disc edition, since I don't own any previous editions, and this, in my mind, is a fantastic film with one truly great soundtrack.

The covers are almost identical except instead of '3 Disc Collector's Edition' it has '4 Disc Collectors Edition' across the top. The discs are as follows: [snip]

didn't mind the extended cut, but agreed it did change the feel of certain parts of the ending (when the character had to go home). filled in the blanks in areas that was probably better left out.

Yes, the soundtrack is inside the keepcase.
