Extras from the previous DVD release include Audio commentary with director Harold Ramis, "The Weight of Time" documentary, two featurettes ("A Different Day:," "Study of Groundhogs") and deleted scenes.
Exclusive to the Blu-ray is the "Needle Nose Ned's Picture in Picture" track (Bonus View), and BD-Live interconnectivity.
