Sorry I didn't do my promised checking yesterday, but it was hangover day.

Today I did it and yes there is a less than 1 second drop where noted. That is not on the US disc and also is not on the dvd included in the steel. The dvd included in the steel is the same as the US CE dvd (disc 1) as it plays windowboxed/non-anamorphic and the menus look exactly how I recall that disc looking. Not even an Alliance logo on start-up (the BD does have that logo). Not a huge deal, but now that I know it is there, I'll hear it. From quickly watching that scene 5 times between the discs, the transfer on the multi-pack looks identical except for the audio drop.

Also skimmed Full Tilt Boogie and it is cropped to 1.78 from the 1.33 it was on the 2-disc dvd. That kinda sucks as I always want OAR and know that was shot with VHS (and still looks like VHS cropped on the BD). If that ever bugs me enough, I'm sure I could find the dvd cheap enough (starting at 33 cents on amazon, but + $3.99 shipping + $0.26 estimated tax). Them ****ers taxing shipping! Pretty sure they have one at the local used record store for $2-3, but I doubt I'll bother. I've seen it already and didn't recall tons of replay value. If I feel the need to watch again, cropped will suffice.
