1- Both the Bluray and DVD ultimate collection contain the same DVDs. The DVD set has 3 separate DVDs. The Bluray set has 1 dual sided DVD (Burly Man/Roots of the Matrix) and 1 single sided DVD (Zion Archives).
2 - This title is also available for individual purchase.
3- This feature is composed of the "What is Bullet Time" and "What is the Concept?" features that were Easter Eggs on the Standard DVD release. They were restructured into the "Take The Red Pill" feature on the The Matrix Revisited DVD which was then ported to this release. They are also listed individually here for indexing purposes.
4 - This feature appears as an Easter Egg on the The Matrix Revisited DVD.
5 - This feature appears on the The Matrix Revisited DVD that is included with the Ultimate Matrix Collection DVD set but note that the disc in the Collection differs from the standard DVD sold individually.
6 -Portions appear on the standalone Matrix Revisited DVD and the complete feature is on the Ultimate Matrix Collection DVD Box The Matrix Revisited DVD.
7- This feature also appears on some releases of The Matrix Reloaded.
8- This feature is an Easter Egg on this release.
9- This content also available on releases of this particular film.
10- The UltraHD Combo Pack also includes 2 Standard Bluray discs that contain the same content as the Ultimate Matrix Collection and 10th Anniversary Bluray releases but split the content onto two discs with most of the features on a disc separate from the movie disc. The actual content however is unchanged.

NOTES:
Without a doubt the best release to purchase is the Ultimate Matrix Collection Bluray. All 3 films plus several bonus discs containing exclusive features and at a very reasonable price. The only thing you will be missing are a few minor features that are exclusive to the The Matrix Revisited Standard DVD and the DVD-ROM features on the DVD for this film but the loss is minor. See the The Matrix Revisited entry for details on those features and to decide if you want that Standard DVD release.
