[EVA] DVD bitrates and "Holiday Edition" extras?

[R_J_N]

I found some of the VA commentaries..ahem..entertaining. But why use Allison 
Keith=Misato commentating on an Asuka-centyric episode, rather that "Those 
Women Longed For.." which was Misato's special episode. Or the earlier giant 
robot episode that demonstrated her personal bravery.  You get the point(?)

Extras with the Greenfield & McCoy discussions. I watched one, & that was 
enough.

Holiday Edition uses the Test Type 00 cover. Unfortunately the "Holiday 
Edition" band is part of ADV's print, so spoiling. BTW have you considered 
the thin cased Platinum set in a tin? I think that was the penultimate 
release.

 I thought the commentaries from the voicer cast were entertaining.  The 
booklets packed in are nice as well.  And - while of minimal relative 
value - the packaging is very pretty.  (I still need to pick up the last 
volume from that set, though.  Should probably hustle on that...)  My 
impression is that the 'holiday edition' is just a physical repackage of the 
thick-packed version's disks, minus the booklets and larger-format packaging 
elements.  But I haven't directly compared the two releases first-hand. 
It's also been a couple of years since I've watched them.
