I got mine two weeks ago from Bit Torrent. Of course, I already picked up my "real" copy today at Wal Mart.

Because I would rather pay 20-something for the extended editions when they come out rather than wait for the Ultra-Super-Mega-L33T version for 100+ that will only have some added documentaries and maybe a few action figures.

Anyone know if the extended edition is encoded with DTS, or just dolby digital like the original?

sweet:) alll the review online have been sweet, dvdtalk.com etc:) i didn't buy the original ttt release because that one had sh*t for special features, this one has a ton of cg rendered for the extra scenes, and supposedly the extra scenes make for a better movie:) not to mention its spanned over two discs, high bitrate:)
