But still no mention of the Christmas show. Me feels jibbed. :(

Yeah, its pretty much confirmed, that there will be no "Christmas show" on the Platinum Edition. Sorry Ben, I knew how much it ment to you. :(

Anyway, it seems PP has some really nice, behind the scenes features. Though, not enough for me to double dip. ;)

Btw, Return to Neverland is getting a Special Edition, in the not to distant future. Here's hoping for an audio commentary! :)

Knowing Disney, Return to Neverland's "special" edition wont be very different from the previous edition.

Yes, which is why I'm hoping! ;)

But yeah, it will probably be like the Special Edition of Scamp's Adventure. Which consisted of nothing new, save a game, and a new cover art. :x

(I do believe in a good double dip! :)) -- Jane reference! ;)

So, is it out yet where you live?
I just saw it lying in the store over here today.

Also saw the supposed "special" return to neverland.
It's not, its exactly the same.

Little known fact: I was born in Belgium.

Europe often gets releases a week or so early, apparently to combat those who import the US editions.

Well, there were special boxsets with the Peter Pan platinum editon and Return to Neverland together.
Seeing that Return was out of print, I'm guessing this was the so called special edition.

Or...they're shifting unsold copies.

In the UK, you can buy older Disney titles with OOP discs in them, while SEs are available separately. The Bug's Life disc in the Pixar box set, for instance, is the "Gold" edition version, not the two disc SE.

I'm betting Disney is trying to use up those extra discs, and the SE will come out later in the year there too.

I got this last week and it's awesome. Peter Pan is one of my all time favorite Disney films and they do a great job on this.

Welcome to the boards.

Yes, Pan looks good, but the lack of the ONLY decent bonus feature - the Christmas Show - loses it many, many, many points.

And I thought the Lady & The Tramp PE was weak...!
