How does the Warner release of The Prestige look?

I think i'm qualified to answer this one.

I bought the Warner version first from the UK and was not disappointed. But then I heard the region A version from the States was so much better. Being a spoilt dual PS3 (region A + B) guy I bought the region A version from ebay to see the difference. The region A version is much glossier and sharper than the Warner version. I didn't compare sound because i'm only a stereo guy at the moment.

The region A version is much better overall, but I wasn't exactly disappointed with the Warner one when I had it (now sold). Its just when you put them side by side, the region A version wins hands down. The difference is striking.

I would give the Warner version a 3.8/5, i'd give the region A version a 4.9/5. In fact, i'd have to say its reference quality.


I have a feeling "knowing" will be much better on the region A version as well. I'm buying the Australian steelbook so will probably double dip this one as well. Doh.
