If you are or were a fan of this movie, pick this up. I watched it today and it now 145 minutes. They added alot of pik up shots,some stuff of him alone playing guitar, some more army stuff, and longer music sequences. And special features all over the place. I like this version better. And I loved the old version.

#1 Question iswhy was this not released on Blu-Ray. WTF.

How does this compare with the limited edition that was released originally as far as quality of special features and transfer are concerned?

Eh, it was long enough to begin with.

Walk The Line: Extended Cut (http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=32679) review...

Owners of either previous DVD releases of Walk the Line: Extended Cut may have a tough time justifying this double (or even triple!) dip. The so-called "extended cut" contains only one truly new sequence, and it's very brief (and though interesting, not revelatory). The new extras are great, but again, unless you're a Cash fanatic, you might be satisfied with the previous DVD releases, which had a few of the same extras (the new extras are pretty cool). A rental would do for you, to see if you must have this version. Newcomers, though, might want to check this out; I still prefer the shorter theatrical version of the film (and by rights, it should have been included here), but I'm not going to knock any chance for new viewers to catch this wonderfully tender, moving love story. Joaquin Phoenix is electrifying as the troubled Cash, and Reese Witherspoon joins the ranks - with this performance alone - of the screen's great actresses with her stunning, heartbreaking portrayal of June Carter Cash. Their chemistry together on screen is palpable, making for one of the most memorable love stories I've seen in films. I recommend Walk the Line: Extended Cut.

Good point asking about WHERE'S THE BLU-RAY DISC???
