What is a LIMITED EDITION dvd?

[Natalee]

I have the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 dvd and while there are two discs with a second having bonus features, there's no option of seeing the "making of". What exactly is limited edition? Does this affect my dvd options?

Sometimes I think they release a "Limited Edition" just before they release a "Director's Cut" which is just before the "Special Anniversary Edition". They both have extra material. I didn't buy any of the Harry Potter DVDs as singles because I'll get them ALL AT ONCE! Probably released for this Christmas.

Limited editions means that they only made a certain number of copies. They usually contain more material than the standard ones.
