Looking forward to seeing how this compares against the best release (Australia Blu).

What are the specs for the Aussie release compared to the US?

Aus has higher bitrate video (over both the MPEG2 and AVC version) which shows more detail. The color timings are different. THe Aus isn't so washed out and the blacks are much darker, cave scenes are pitch black as they should be, IMO. Only downside is audio on the Aus disc is only 5.1.

US MPEG2 vs US AVC vs AUS AVC

Aus is region free with PAL extras (trailer?) May not be US PS3 friendly.
