Though their motivations may not be so philanthropic, at least consumer electronics corporations are on the side of the people like you and I. After all, they know that consumers will not purchase crippled, copy-protected products. Hopefully, this will result in a somewhat more balanced result when laws are passed. Call me cynical, but I feel that the Hollywood lobby's advantage is quite large and the laws will likely get passed.

Who is to say that the extras on the November edition are even complete? PJ and crew are most assuredly busy working on the next two films. It's possible that the August relase is a head-start for those who want the movie ASAP.
