(2) 20 Years of Metal Gear: a brief description of the progression of Metal Gear games from 1988 to 2008.
(a) Researching Modern Warfare: This shows the military training of the production team to produce more realistic game play.
(b) The Road to Realism: A feature on the travels of Kojima's development team from Morocco to Africa and other locales, leaving no detail unnoticed.
(c) Characters Come to Life: This section shows the motion capture, designs and creation of the game characters, from their Japanese and English counterparts.
(d) The Sound and The Fury: This feature shows the challenges of foley artists to create accurate in-game sounds, from the crunch of gravel underfoot to missile explosions.
(e) Kojima Productions Reaching Out: This section details the trips Kojima productions takes around the world to get in touch with Metal Gear fans far and near.

(a) Bomb Shelter Buffet
(b) The 7th Circle
(c) Body of Armor

The featurettes can be watched with Japanese or English subtitles.
This is quite a nice package of extra materials. It used to be very difficult, if not impossible, to see the trials and tribulations of video game production in a Japanese setting - and it is a real treat to see the unsung heroes behind such an epic game.
Through these extra materials, we gain a deeper understand of Hideo Kojima's inner passion to deliver a video game that not only entertains, but gives players a chance to enrich their lives. It's clear that with over 200 people working for over 3 years on this game, it was a labor of love...and it shows.
My only complaint is that the music in this limited edition is more of a "greatest hits" selection. However, that can be overlooked, with the other extras. If you want the complete soundtrack, you can order it HERE.
If you're a Metal Gear nut like I am, this should already be in your library. If not, you're definitely missing out.
Very highly recommended.
