I definitely hope for an extended edition... and for one thing in either the EE or Deleted Scenes I hope most desperately - Caspian's fascination with the Pevensies' round world!!!
It was always one of my very favorite bits in the books, and only after seeing the film for the third time I noticed it wasn't incorporated into the story, and I so very much regret it! It's one of the funniest, sweetest moments in VoDT, Caspian's moment of both being adorable and highlighting his passion as an explorer and his desire to see the other world (it could have been made as a clever prelude to the moment at the end of SC), and just think how many funny small things could have been worked out of this, a lovely scene of character bonding and development I certainly hope something like this will be in the DS or EE, even though I doubt it... but one can always hope, no?

I hope they have the audio commentary with the actors as well! That was one of the most exciting parts about getting the DVD for LWW and PC!

Oh, I'm sure there will be an audio commentary, it's a very popular special feature nowadays, and rather a tradition for Narnia films now I certainly hope for it, too, but am almost sure it will be included!

With two discs (!), an actors' commentary track has simply got to be included. Or Fox/Walden would face the utter wrath of many of us.

I really hope there is an extended edition, especially if it adds more elements from the book. I was disappointed when there wasn't one for PC. I don't know if this will help but Fox has a place for product suggestions, so people could tell them they want an extended Edition of VDT.

Is the DVD release for VDT going to be 1 or 2 discs. If it's only the 1 that I think it will have, I think they're still saving the 20-25 minutes that they aren't including in the 5 minutes of deleted scenes for an Extended Edition!

Deleted Scenes (4 min 6 sec)
Deleted Scene 11 – The Kids in Narnian Clothes (28 sec)
Deleted Scene 14 – Eustace is Ill (37 sec)
Deleted Scene 65 – Mutiny (2 min 12 sec)
Deleted Scene 90 – Caspian “Doubt” (47 sec)(Side note, not sure what the numbers mean next to “Deleted Scene,” that’s how they were listed, and likely where the scene would have appeared in the film had it stayed)
Or it could be that "The Kids in Narnian Clothes" has been filed as "Deleted Scene 11" and there are really over 90 deleted scenes. Because really, I don't think that particular scene was ever supposed to be in the movie. So they have a ton of scenes, some deleted from the movie, some shot as promo material, and stored them all together as deleted scenes.
On a side note, didn't NarniaWeb's new's story say there would be 5:35 minutes of deleted scenes? I really hope Mr. Martin's numbers are a bit off there! Maybe the extra time is Deleted Scene Commentary - their pathetic excuses for cutting them. Though what they'll say about the Four Pevensies shot I just don't know...
"Oh, we need some footage for the trailer that would make everyone think Susan and Peter get back to Narnia too, so we spent all this time making a set and costumes for less than a minute of shots."

But I discovered today that Family Christian Stores has different details - some new, some old. And it lists the running time as 119 minutes. I still think this list is incomplete though.

I wonder what the "Adventures of Reepicheep" is about. Sounds intriguing.
The numbers next to the deleted scenes are most likely, as Paul Martin said, the number of the scene, indicating where it would have been in the film. When a movie goes into production, every scene gets a number so that it can be referred to quickly.
No actors commentary!?!?!?!?

I heard there is a commentary, they just haven't released who is going to be in it. I hope they include Georgie, she's always entertaining. If it's just Michael Apted, I won't even bother to listen. That man puts me to sleep.
I just wonder if and when the DVD/BluRay will be released in Australia, and whether or not it will be in 3D. I don't see why not, since the film had a 3D version. It would have been nice to see more deleted scenes also, which would explain some of the issues that have been discussed here, pacing issues for example.
Hey, guess what? On the cover of the double DVD pack it says that it has a new movie! I think that means a new version of the movie, but I could be wrong. If they mean that it's a recently released movie, I think that's a bit unnecessary, but maybe they don't want people to confuse it with other Narnia movies?
