Steven Spielberg has made sure the new "E.T." DVD comes in two flavors -- original recipe and extra special effects.
The director suggested that the upcoming two-disc, $30 home-video release of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" feature both the low-tech 1982 version of the boy-and-his-alien story and the 2002 update with computerized effects.
The studio initially planned to release both versions only in a $70 boxed set DVD collection, which also includes the movie's soundtrack and a copy of the script, but Spielberg said he didn't want people who bought the less elaborate $30 version, which has fewer special features, to forget the first version of "E.T."
