  3. This is a double dip waiting to happen. I bet there will the a super deluxe edition with 2-3 disk coming out in November just in time for the Holidays. I’m going to sit this one out until the Blu-Ray version comes out.

  10. "Considering the amount of viral marketing this puppy shoveled out in the months leading up to its release, I wouldn't expect anything less than 750 special features on 17 discs."

    Heh heh! I have nothing against alternate endings so long as Hud still gets chomped and Rob dies IN EVERY SINGLE ONE. Meanwhile, our Tagruato ARG is getting outstripped by real life: http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/story.html?id=0e151a0a-c5e6-49d7-bfa7-99bc4ff85f57&k=38324

    Yup, they're drilling under where the polar ice cap used to be. Oh, and giant sea spiders and other extra-large sea dwellers are turning up in Antarctic waters. But no sign of Mr. Grumpypants ... yet.
