Among the extraneous extra scenes is a longer version of the sequence where Carrie's going through her closet and trying on dated ensembles from years past. This rendition has each of the four girls taking her turn prancing up and down the closet corridor in some truly heinous fashions, but it's nothing so amazing that you feel like you missed out in the theater release -- unless you happen to enjoy seeing Charlotte done up like an eighties rapper. Which I do not. There's also an entirely new scene in which Carrie goes trick or treating with Charlotte, Harry and Lily, a scene in which Carrie yaps to Stanford on the phone on New Year's Eve, and one with Samantha's hot neighbor where you actually do see a hint of his wang, rather than merely the intimation of it. Talk about extended footage.

For the SATC obsessive, King's commentary is really the high point of the DVD's offerings, because it provides a truly in depth, insider-y look at the way that the movie was made, the way the scenes were shot, his reasons for including or editing out certain things, and funny anecdotes about the production. Whether you're a Carrie or a Charlotte or a Miranda or a Samantha (you whore!), watching with the commentary at least once is a must for any SATC fan worth her weight in Manolos. (Sorry, it was too easy). As for the rest of the special features, they're meh:

A Conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Patrick King
This is a sit down with MPK and SJP, and to be honest, it's a bit of a snore. MPK waxes poetic about how great the movie was, how it exceeded his expectations and was just so fabulous, and SJP effuses in turn. It's all very self-congratulatory, and with few exceptions, no new information is revealed that wasn't included in the director's commentary.

The Fabulous Fashion of Sex and the City
This is a pastiche of interviews with each of the four main actresses, plus one with stylist par excellence Pat Field, who's been costuming the girls since the series' inception. It's interesting to hear the concepts behind each girl's particular styles and tastes, the way their clothes had to change over the years to reflect their personalities and their own process of maturation. And the sheer volume of fabulous clothes and shoes and accessories that the movie necessitated is a feast for the eye.

Additional Scenes (with and without Commentary by Michael Patrick King)
These include a scene where Carrie and Big eat dinner out and discuss having their wedding at the public library, a cute sequence between Samantha and Smith where they talk about cheating and subsequently have le sexytime, a pointless sequence involving drunken revelry in Mexico and one really contrived scene in which Miranda brings Brady over to Carrie and Big's for a sleepover so that they can discuss Steve's cheating. Again, it's not hard to see why none of these made the final cut, as they don't do much to add to the overall plot, but those who were clamoring for more even after the interminable movie proper will likely enjoy savoring even these fluffy scraps.

Fergie in the Studio
Ugh. Totally superfluous studio footage of Fergie "recording" the tarted-up theme song "Labels or Love." Sorry if you like her stupid ass. The best is when she sits behind the production console during the playback, like she's the one twiddling the dials to make the song sound perfect. As if! There's also some awkward exchange between The Duchess and Michael Patrick King and some predictable anecdotes Fergie regales us with about how much she loved Sex and the City growing up. Yeah, because it's not like she was forty-five when they were on TV a decade ago or anything.
