Hehe, here we go with the Blu-ray double-dips!

Good price, but essentially you're paying another £3 just for more extras. Good deal if you're interested in them. Don't forget the running time of the film is included in this "seven hours" of extras - and if there's more than one commentary, it's counted twice.

It's the same with most double disc sets.
A lot of people seem interested in the extras.
Good price for people who dont own it already. Still cheaper than most places that are selling the single disc.

Well yes, but to put it in context, you can get the single-disc edition for £9.95.

Still the cheapest around for the 2 disc deluxe edition.
It's a very good price for a 2 disc blu-ray if you want the extras. If you only want the film then I agree its not worth it.
