I am gonna wait before picking this one up. I too despise the coffee table book releases that Warner has foisted on us. If this ITV release has a nice transfer and audio track, I will forgo the extras rather than buy the U.S. version.

So far, I have purchased the UK versions of "Bonnie and Clyde," "Dirty Harry," "Magnum Force," "The Enforcer," "Sudden Imact," and "The Dead Pool." All are fully region-free and come in the slightly thicker keep case packaging. I also plan on getting the UK "Poltergeist" and "How the West Was Won." Can anyone confirm that those titles are also region-free?

The picture quality is absolutely stunning and so is the sound. The picture quality is one of the best that i have seen in back catalogue titles. The detail is stunning, more so than i expected. I thought it would looks good but the detail on the faces and rocks makes this one of my favourite blu ray disks to date. The sound is DD5.1 which sounds brilliant through my surround sound set up.

Some people are saying about there being no extras but there are actually a large amount. Commentries, documentries, interviews, etc.

As I live in the UK I do not know if the extras will work in the US due to them being in 576p.

If you don't mind about extras this is one of the best transfers to date and it really is worth the upgrade.
