YES!!
Hopefully there's TONNES of extras!
I wish I had a HD/DVD, but I think that the normal set should suffice. I really can't wait to watch it over & over again.

Very impressive. Hard to decide which one to get. Most likely at this point to wait until after films 6 and 7 to get the full HD with all the new materials as a major set.

Eww, goody, goody gumdrops! Lost season three and OotP released on the same day--does life get much better than that :-) They're really trying to bring in the bucks with this one, eh? I mean how many different editions can one movie have. I'm thinking the Gift Edition sounds pretty tempting with the hint of additional never before seen footage.

Why do we get it a month later than the UK? We should get it the same day as the UK!! A sneak peak of HP6!! I can't wait for that!!
Its very surprising that they're putting different things on 3 different types of DVD's, but hell, I'm getting all 3 for christmas!! My PS3 has a blue-ray dvd player in it, I usually get the special 2 disk edition, and I'm getting an HD-DVD player for christmas anyway. I need to see all those extras! Plus, it would be great to see the difference between the picture quality between the regular DVD and the HD!

Excellent, will get the 2 disc set, but not the limited edition gift set as it seems too costly.
