Just got this used for a killer price (it's like 25 bucks new!). The pod-racing scene on the DVD seems longer than the one on the VHS tape and in the theater. Did they add some length to it?

No Best Buy here. ;) Just Wal Mart and Hastings, both of which have it for 25.

Yeah, I found this at IMDB.

"The DVD reinstates footage into the feature and increases its running time by 3 minutes. Restored footage includes the Coruscant air taxi sequence, extended starting grid sequence and extended lap two sequence."

Hehe, there was a great deleted scene on the second disk. Anakin was fighting with a green alien. Qui-Gon breaks the fight up, makes a speech, yadda. As they walk away, one of the green alien's buddys says, "You better be careful, Greedo, or you'll come to a bad end."

LOL!

I like the scene where they did sort of a wireframe of the Coruscant air taxi, and had toast popping out of it...
