Need expert advice on the Hobbit Extended Editions DVDs! Can't Post

So I think I may have bought the wrong version of the Extended Edition DVD of Desolation of Smaug and I need some advice. Can someone help me identify if I’m missing any extras on the “version I bought” vs “the version I now think I should have bought?” Help a girl out please! I’m having trouble finding an exact listing of what is offered on each disc set and how they differ. I’m not interested in buying the 3D version.
So this is the version I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/...ui_search_detailpage
This is the version I now think I should have bought:
http://www.amazon.com/...coliid=IQ56K3VL6AUAH

The second one is 5 discs, the one I bought is only 3 discs. Is this because the movie itself is stretched across 2 disc on the 5 disc version, etc? The 5 disc is about $50 on amazon, whereas the version I bought was only $24.
Can someone tell me if I’m missing any of the special features? I’m especially interested in making of extras + cast commentary.
Thanks so very much!

Whew! That's good to hear. Crazy the DVD version is so much more expensive.

Thanks for the welcome =)

rare [In reply to] Can't Post

I think the dvd version was a Walmart exclusive, so it's much rarer than the blu-ray version, which is why it's more expensive.

Welcome to TORn Sassenach! [In reply to] Can't Post

FYI: there aren't any cast commentaries for the Hobbit movies, unfortunately.

But... [In reply to] Can't Post

My English is not that good, my Elvish is better ;-)
