Looks as if I have the 2005 "Special Edition" as well. I didn't know there was 
a newer later not so special edition which is more special. (This drives me 
crazy..on the one hand, they keep reissuing things we paid $29 for when DVDs 
first came out or put out a new version of The Wizard of Oz every six months, 
or you get one shot at a movie on DVD and it's a horrible transfer.)
