Special edition looks awesome.  I like the cover even more than the original  It's got a 300 vibe to it, (if you take out everything but the sky .)

A video from the first single. Hmm...more singles after that?

Anyway, I'm psyched. Of course, I'm going to have to get both editions. I better look into how much it's going to cost me to get another 3.1 channels for my sound/theater system.

Thanks, MP, for the 5.1, the video, and the documentary. Man, I'm psyched! I want it all, and I want it now! I think I like the SE artwork better than the regular edition. Very cool!

Oh man...  This keeps getting better and better...  God, I can't wait for this!  I just hope I'll be able to get my hands on the limited edition.

Awesome package and content on the special edition, Mike! It'll be cool to see a video from you guys again after all these years.

Incredible!!!

Im with all of you who said you wont be able to sleep tonight!!
This is truely amazing news and I need that freaking SC SE!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA
But really this is like waiting for Christmas or something!

In case the special edition is a limited edition (I hope not though), this could be the one time a pre-order may actually be worth it

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

WOW!  

Well it looks like Roadrunner is really delivering the goods!  I'm really glad to see them allow DT to do this.  Pretty sweet deal.

Awesome start to the new patnership between the band & label!
I'm getting both versions of Systematic Chaos for sure.
Thanks to everyone involved in getting this cool stuff to happen for us to enjoy & especially to Mike for taking the time for not only recording the new cd but for going all the way & releasing the making of dvd as well.
