Hi

The version you have is most likely the UK Import release which was released on March 18th, 2007 in the UK. Apparently the U.S version scores better on Hi-def extras but everything else is probably the same

I Hope it comes out in 3D sometime as it had very good 3D stereoscopic effects.

U.S version is superior that the import. Why and how ?

1) Encoded from a superior master (check stacy spears comments in AVS)
2) Encoded at an average video bit rate of 27 Mbps using AVC. Import is encoded at 15 Mbps using VC-1.
3) U.S version features Dolby True HD 24-bit. Import has Dolby True HD 16-bit.
4) U.S version has BonusView while the import doesn't.
5) No plain English subs in the import. U.S version features both plain English subs and English SDH.
