I would have piped in sooner but work has been a bear the last week 
and this is my first time being able to hop on here and comment. I 
actually took a few minutes yesterday at work and ran over to the 
Costco about 1/4 mile away. I had already peeked online this past 
weekend on walmart.com, costco.com, bestbuy.com etc. I saw only a 
widescreen, a full screen and the special edition. Believe it or not 
Costco had the least expensive for the special edition in my area. 
When I went to Costco - they had just opened for general members and 
there were like 50 people in the entire store and no one was in the 
movie area. I greedily searched for the box in the best condition 
(why, I have no idea as it is the outside box for the store and the 
actual DVD case is inside but silly me). When I picked it up I read 
the back noted it was the 2 disc special edition for $20.29 plus tax 
and then I flipped it over and read the back and saw "special 
features: additional scenes, conversations with the cast, preparing 
for the yule ball etc." and so I knew it was the one I wanted. I 
have only had time to watch the conversations with the cast 
(interview with the trio) it was cute. Wish Rupert would talk more - 
Emma made me laugh how she would look at Dan every so often to 
double check that she had her facts straight. Anyway, I plan to 
watch it and the deleted stuff this evening. I am so sorry Steve 
that I didn't put that the best one to get would be the silver one 
but I honestly only hopped on this weekend to research which one to 
buy and then got off my pc. Maybe you can find someone who would 
like the other one or you could always use it for your main watching 
DVD. Anyway, glad you have the one with the extra stuff now.
