Entertainment Weekly has a look at one of the deleted scenes, between Gamora and Nebula.

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/11/13/guardians-galaxy-deleted-scene-gamora-nebula/

This could be the "Sisterly Love" scene listed in the special features, but that has a runtime of 1min40sec and this is just 1min.

So yeah, maybe they're stiffing us on deleted scenes.

Here's a list of the bonus features on Guardian's upcoming Blu-Ray:

-- Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scenes: ‘Fake Laugh’ (:23), ‘The Klyn Will Have to Do’ (:41), ‘No, I’m the Stupid One’ (:27), ‘Sisterly Love’ (1:40), ‘Dancing Guard’ (:45)

-- Making-of Featurettes: ‘Guide to the Galaxy with James Gunn’ (20:01), ‘The Intergalactic Visual Effects for The Guardians of the Galaxy‘ (6:50)

-- Exclusive Look at Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2:08)

-- Gag Reel (3:42)

-- Audio Commentary with director James Gunn


Here's a sweet video Gunn posted on Facebook, a clip from one of the featurettes. It starts off with an NES style Guardians game, which is totally tits just by itself.

Here's another "featurette tease" talking about the music.

And here's a little clip of Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana having an "epic dance battle."

Here's a clip highlighting the Collector's lair.

And here's a bit of Bradley Cooper voicing Rocket.


Last but not least, here's a description of what you WON'T find on the Blu-Ray. Gunn describing what got cut from the end:

There are three characters that got cut out [of the "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" montage]: Nebula, the Collector and Grandpa Quill. Nebula and Collector we decided, at a certain point, they’re kind of bad guys in the first movie. It was a real joyous experience with that finale so we thought we’d keep it to the characters that were part of “the good team.” Which includes Yondu. He did fight on the good guys side. So we thought we would keep it to them.

Grandpa Quill we cut because he was in old age make up and we were a little afraid people wouldn’t recognize that it was him from the beginning of the movie. And also, it was a pretty sad moment. It was Grandpa Quill and he has this photograph of Meredith and Peter as a little boy and he looks up at the stars and we go up to the stars and it was really sweet. It means that he must have seen Quill getting abducted at the end of that day and is still waiting for him to return but it was freaking sad so we took it out.

Nebula’s was actually my favorite. Nebula’s I really liked a lot because she’s lost her arm and she’s just pissed off and she’s just walking through this field all pissed off with a busted Ravager vehicle behind her. And she’s just pissed off and I loved it.

Stand up comedy
Time

My favorite comedians:

George Carlin. Probably my favorite special of his was his last, "It's Bad For Ya." 
"Bullshit is the glue that holds this nation together..."

Louis CK. Anything he does is brilliant.
"Schindler's List"

Mitch Hedberg. He's mainly a 1-to-3 sentence joke kinda guy, and YouTube clips won't impress you much, but here's some of the ones I love the most:

- I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin', and hook up with them later.

- I had a stick of CareFree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.

- Every book is a children's book if the kid can read.

- I bought a $7 pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring.

- I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

Patton Oswalt. His George Lucas bit is legendary.

And Bill Hicks, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor were all icons.

I still haven't seen the second Captain America or the second Thor movie--or, for that matter, any post-Avengers Marvel movies aside from Iron Man 3. Hopefully I'll get around to seeing them within the next couple years.

Ditto that you should watch Cap 2 for sure. For Thor 2 you could go the fanedit route, as Ryan/TM2YC made a pretty decent "anti-fanedit" of that one.
