Universal have this awful practice now of releasing "Collector's Edition"s with extra footage and features INTENTIONALLY left out to attract more people to the website (a DVD-ROM feature called 'Total Axxess'). So, instead of having ALL the good stuff on a DVD that you can have in your hands forever, you have SOME DVD content and SOME content that will be on a website, that you have to register for, for a limited time.
It's happening with a lot of the recent editions, including the upcoming "Back To The Future" set. Bob Gale, BTTF's producer, is quite pissed at this practice and is presently lobbying Universal to offer the web content as a mail-in DVD offer instead.
