To me, it sounds like it is going to be a super amazing package. 4 hours worth of the movie (with the included deleted scenes) and a ton of special features! It is still unknown if all the same material will be available with the 3D version that comes with the Panasonic TVs in December. If you guys find any more information, be sure to let me know and I can add it to this post. Hope you guys enjoy this compiled information.
