I was bracing myself for disappointment, so I can't even muster up much rage over the lack of an extended OotP. Hopefully others will step up and let WB/Yates have it for me. This is exactly why I didn't want these UE's till the fall. There was no way Yates would've been able to re-edit OotP (and HBP) while working on DH:II. Giving these two titles November or December release dates would've given him time to do so. I wonder if he'll come out and directly address the issue.
It's really strange that the A&E special for Phoenix isn't included, but it's nice to see the ABC Family TV Spots for Prince brought in. It's also good again to see multiple trailers included for each film.
I wonder, now, if the inevitable boxed set that puts all the Ultimate Edition discs together will include a bonus disc of "Never-before-seen deleted scenes!" to make it more enticing. That's what Disney's doing with Pirates of the Caribbean. As I've said before, I respect filmmaker integrity and the decision to leave the current cuts alone, but at least give us the dang footage separately as supplements. Only time will tell, I suppose.
I couldn't figure out why iTunes kept telling me that the code was invalid until I looked at the piece of paper carefully and it was for the 1st movie, not the 2nd one. If anyone here is kind enough to PM me their digital copy code for the 2nd movie, I would be most appreciative and I will do you a solid favor in the future. It's somewhat urgent, since the digital copy code expires today, 12/8. Thanks.
