According to a Variety article: Fox, in their crazed scramble to rush Slumdog Millionaire onto video and torpedo its still-decent theatrical business, pulled a boner: They shipped extras-laden "for purchase" disks in the cheaper "for rental" package, and bare-bones "rental" disks with no extras in the expensive "for purchase" packages.

The article wasn't clear whether this happened on ALL packages or just a few, but if you purchased Slumdog, better check the contents to make sure you didn't get screwed.
