The movie and the extras are all encoded on the same disc. One of the longer featurettes/docs, "Zodiac Deciphered", is not in HD. Early printings had a slipcover.

I want to get this in the near future but for some reason it is very hard to find. Futureshop locally hasnt had it in ages, same with Amazon.ca and there are only like 3 copies on Ebay and they are all too expensive. What gives...
