1- This release comes with a Bluray disc which is also indexed here.
2- This feature is available separately on the Special Edition DVD release but can only be viewed within the context of the chapter on the Bluray.
3- Both releases provide this content throughout the various section but only the DVD release collects all of them in a single location for easy viewing outside the sections. Therefore the content itself is not exclusive but the presentation is.
4- This release includes both a Movie Disc Bluray and a Bonus Features Bluray which are also indexed here.
5- Some of these chapters/sections also include video clips. All but one one of which (The Abyss Academy Visual Effects Reel) are very short.

This release includes a Bonus Features Bluray disc containing almost all of the previously released features as well as discs with both versions of the film. It lacks the Text Commentary from the DVD releases as well as the short Making Of featurette and the more convenient access to some of the features.
