DVD CONFUSION

Hi, Frank :)
I hope you don't mind that I bug you once again about the DVD ;) IWTB is popping up as a pre-order all over the net now which is very exciting. I particularly like that you've included a digital copy of the movie. Being able to watch it anywhere anytime sounds pretty good to me! :)
Since I don't yet own a Blu-Ray player the 3-disc Ultimate X-Phile Edition seems to be the one to get. However, I am unable to find it anywhere over here in Europe. Places like play.com and amazon.co.uk are only listing a 1-disc and a 2-disc version. So I'm wondering, is the Ultimate X-Phile Edition a U.S. release only? If so, what is on the third disc that has apparently been omitted from the Region 2 release? And is there any particular reason the studio decided the R2 fans won't get to see it? I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I was really hoping we'd get the same extras as the American fans...

It is indeed confusing. The studio releases different versions of the DVD in different territories, based on sales projections. As a result, the "Ultimate X-Phile Edition" is not being released in the U.K. The two-disc U.K. edition apparently will not include the three segments of "Trust No One: Can The X-Files Remain A Secret?" or the four stills galleries.
