I have not gotten to watch this just yet, but hopefully I will get to in the next few days. I will test the tracks to see if this release suffers from the same problems as the US version (where the Japanese track is much quieter than the English track).

Well, after sampling a few scenes (note-not the whole movie), I did not find a huge difference between the track. I found the Japanese to be an edge better. It has more clarity. So it would seem this release does not suffer likes the US version.

BTW, I am not sure if the extras are PAL or NTSC and I have no way of checking atm, so be aware when ordering. I will check as soon as I can.

The Extras are in PAL. They won't play on my Region A Machine.

Thanks for the confirmation but I still went ahead and ordered it. I won't be able to watch the making of featurette and the trailer, but I'm planning to buy a universal BD-player (like the Momitsu one) at some point in time, and so I can at least already watch the movie
