Excellent news!!

The specs listed for the Eureka Blu-ray are missing the DTS HD MA track and the 21 minute long "On Camera" interview feature from the Criterion release though!?

Is that likely to just be an oversight? Can anyone confirm if the missing feature and the lossless audio will be on the UK Blu?

Most likely they will use TrueHD and/or DTS-HD MA. They have used both Loseless formats on all their releases thus far). As for the missing extra, they may not have been able to get the rights to it or something along those lines.

Kewl!

So if they don't specifically mention lossless audio in their press release but always include it, then perhaps not specifically mentioning the "on camera" feature doesn't necessarily mean it won't be included?

I hope it's there bcause it sounds like a must see extra!

I've never bought a Eureka BD before. How do Eureka's transfers compare to Criterion's generally?

Can we expect the pic/sound, the BD menus etc. to be as good as Criterion's?

They're not going to try and squeeze everything onto a single layer BD25 either I hope!

For the extra, I don't know. I think if it is not in the press release, it won't be on the release sadly.

As for their transfers, they are very good. I have no complaints. Sound quality are very good as well. Menus are very simple and easy to navigate.

Of their 2 releases, Mad Detective used a 25GB disc and Tokyo Sonata used a 50GB disc. I think FAM will use a 50GB but again, not sure.

Side note - this release will have DTS-HD MA 5.1 (Source: https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3115)
