Great bonus features!

The only feature I couldn't find that I expected was a commentary track. Then again, none of the Harry Potter movies have commentary tracks. Beyond that, though, this 2-disc version of the second Harry Potter film has a lot to offer! I highly recommend the 2-disc version of Chamber of Secrets, and I always recommend widescreen editions of everything. The bonus features include 19 additional scenes, one of them essential for a back story used in the sixth film. I won't spoil anything, though! The theatrical trailer is included, but that's nothing special. The best feature is probably the section on the lying man, really can't recall his name, sorry. That section is insanely funny to me. Still, you'll want the 2-disc version primarily for the additional scenes. Make sure you see those scenes before you see the sixth film.

Don't buy Xbox 360 consoles. Ever.

I'm a tech guy, so I bought one, anyway, but I recommend staying away from Xbox 360 consoles in general, because they break very easily, and they can be very expensive to fix. Also, the older models are very noisy. Xbox 360 consoles are poorly designed. They look good, but they are not made to last. The original Xbox was made to last, but the 360 is meant to last maybe 2 years. I have two close friends with broken 360 consoles. Both got the "Red Ring of Death" or RROD within the first two years of owning it, and both consoles were bought brand new, straight from the retail store. To be more specific, one console died within 5 months, but it was still under warranty and was fixed. I believe that console was immediately sold afterward due to fear of it breaking again, because you only get another 30 days warranty after it's fixed. The other console died after about 18 months. That's one year, six months... less than two years. The one that died in 5 months was used very sparingly and was never overheated. It just died for no apparent reason. The tech support said his video chip was malfunctioning and was replaced. The other console, the one that died after the first year was still under warranty when it broke, but warranty expired by the time they were able to send the console in. (It took a whole month to get the box to send the console back in. Apparently, you can't send it in using regular mail packaging.) Bottom line, 360 consoles are not worth your money. They are all defective and all unreliable. The PS3 has some issues, too, but I have not heard of the PS3 having anything near as bad as the 360's issues. Also, some PS3s can play all PS1 and PS2 games. 360 consoles can only play *some* original Xbox games, not all, and you need the hard drive in order to play any of those.

Not quite as fun as the PC version.

The controls are actually much harder than on the PC. On the Xbox, it's extremely hard to aim, and the movement isn't nearly as smooth. I would blame the Xbox controller, but the controller isn't really the problem, because I use the same controller for all my other Xbox games, and most of the games have very easy-to-use control schemes. The PC version obviously has better visuals, but the Xbox version isn't bad. I played the PC version first, which kind of ruined the Xbox experience a little bit. I still enjoyed the game, however, and the only reason I quit playing was the game kept showing a "dirty disc" message and crashing.
