is there any difference in the quality of the film or audio or special features? so far after doing research the cover looks the same cept for a different upc number but is the disc content any different. I knew i was taking a chance with odering from inetvideo but someone on here on the inet thread in hot deals said it was the us version now im worried hopefully its the same anyone know?

I don't have the US version to compare it to, but the menus are english only, and it has all the promoted bonus features.

From what I can tell with Allience releases, if they are releasing a disc at the same time as the US, it's a copy of the US version. If they are releasing it on their own, then they are doing all the work, and it will be a "no frills" release.

But, for Austin, there are small differenced in the packaging. No other differences that I am aware of (and I had the same concerns when I purchased from INet Video)

I purchased from iNetVideo as well (thinking it'd be the US version) and I've been told the discs are virtually identical, just different pressings on the art of the discs and a few minor changes on the paper cover of the boxset.

I have compared the first 2 films (US vs Canadian) and the extra features are identical. They seem to be identical on the third as well, although I haven't done an in depth comparison on that one yet.

Everything on the Blu-ray Discs are the same for the Austin Powers' US & Canadian Blu-ray Discs: picture, sound, extras. The only thing missing from the Canadian release are the Windows Media only Digital Copies for the three films.

Alliance never got into the whole digital copy thing, probably for the best.

Question for anyone who owns the alliance copy... I've been having problems with my "Spy Who Shagged Me" TrueHD track. I purchased the set from iNet and have no problems with the 1st or 3rd film but the 2nd one just gives me a flashing TrueHD logo on my Onkyo 605 with no sound coming out (though the video passes through just fine.) Anyone else experience this?
