Notes:Packaged in a 3-disc digibook with a 6-page leaflet.
The DTS track is full bitrate.
Confusingly, the first 2 DVDs have the same disc artwork as the original 2-DVD set. Do not be alarmed at this despite them reading "Letterbox"!
The versions of the episodes although extended, are missing the closing and opening credits as if when you load Episode 1 to play, all three play through with an end credits at the end of Episode 3. -
Easter eggs:DISC ONE:
Go into the Special Features Menu. Now select "Interview with Graeme Revell". Watch it to the end. Once it's finished, you will be shown some information about the OST. You have the option of listening to a medley from the OST by Graeme Revell (7:26).
There is also information on where / how to purchase the OST. -
