UPDATE 8/23: I'm told you get 3 free downloads from the
Rockin' Movies web page selection. The site may probably be only accessible in the USA. But trust me, you're not missing anything. You can redeem credits from this DVD and you get three free tracks from various Universal Pictures soundtracks including
Xanadu. There is no
Xanadu bonus material.
ORIGINAL POST: Can anyone shed any light on this
Xanadu DVD that was released earlier this month? It's the same version put out recently, but it offers three bonus mp3's with the purchase. I'm assuming you just get to choose three songs from the soundtrack. Can anyone confirm this?

Sorry - no idea m8. I'm still chuckling at the "Rockin' movies" tag.
Drum Dreams?
I HIGHLY doubt it, but it's worth looking into.
Probably "Fool Country" and "You Made Me Love You" are 2 of them.
In addition to the above CD bonus tracks, ONJ Productions should have included this interview from their 1980 TV preview special on these DVD releases...

Okay, so we understand that there is noting 'spectacular' about the '3 Bonus .MP3s' deal included with this release of the remastered DVD of Xanadu. But there is another bit of a mystery... the Total Running Time (TRT) of this release. It is claimed to be a total of ...96 Minutes.
Now wait a minute. Where did those three supposed extra-minutes come from? And what does it include?? Is this simply a print error by the publisher? The IMDB lists "Xanadu" as having a TRT of 93 minutes. It is also shown as 93 Minutes on tne version of the DVD that was recently released with the bonus CD included of the music soundtracks. And they are supposed to be the exact same DVD film release!
So anyone have the answer? Did they somehow slow the film down? I know three minutes in a film is not a lot of time on screen (although for some movies it could count as an eternity), but I would be surprised if it included something not already seen on the other more established media-releases of the film.
