It wouldn't cost them anything extra to release the Extended Edition instead of this, but they know that people want the Extended Edition more, so they're trying to see how many of these they can sell first before they make the poor suckers buy the next Blu-Ray package. While you can't blame a company for trying to milk it's customers, you can't blame the customers for getting upset when it's this transparent. One-Star rating because this is a gimped product designed solely to trick people into buying the Blu-Ray twice (after they already pulled the same nonsense with the DVD).
