Hidden Features

The only other inclusions are three easter eggs. Why a DVD that is already so light on special features would hide these options is beyond me, but fortunately they are not terribly difficult to discover. On Disc One is a split screen look from a hand held camera shot from behind Robert Smith as he steps on stage for the «Disintegration Set». Also on this disc is a look at the fixed view from Robert's microphone camera during «The Same Deep Water As You». This is «interesting» to watch for all of about 30 seconds. The easter egg on Disc Two merely consists of outtakes from the interview session.
