I did the same thing and my superior version will be coming from Britain rather than, say, Phoenix, because for reasons I can't even fathom, we got a lesser version than something like 5 other countries. Fox has control of their overseas deals and they put the UK edition out directly. Maybe they did it in their other releases outside of region A. I don't have that info in front of me.

And, yes, that's crap. Will it ruin your viewing experience to not have this cut? Almost certainly no. But did it ruin your movie viewing experience to get Cast Away or The Usual Suspects with very good transfers but with the studios not even bothering to port over the special features? I had to import Man on Fire because I found out on this site that again a loaded edition in the UK, but for some reason the studio dropped an inferior release for us, the ones who spend the most.

I'm not jumping up and down and cursing the gods. I just think more people need to call them out and call the practice crap. Tombstone is going to come out the same way and it sucks they can't bother to give us the HD treatment to the obviously better Vista release. I love these movies so it really bugs me to trade in my SD release for a less than perfect BD release, when it's not really that difficult to do.

Sorry if that makes some people consider me as a whiner.
