Not sure about multiregion but my colleague has a USA ps3 so I will get him to test it and report back tomorrow. Fortunately, he also has the USA HD-DVD, so will get him to compare it to that.
Out of those extras, the commentary would have been good!

Tim Burton is not a talkative kind of person. His commentary is no match to, eg. Guillermo Del Toro's commentary on El Labirinto Del Fauno, so i think in this case, lack of extras is not a reason to avoid this or that edition. Main reason is PQ/AQ.

Point taken! I just would not have thought it difficult to include them anyway. Do ANY Optimum realeases have extras? I can't think of any...

I know Nikita and Léon do for example.

Ahh, okay - I didn't realise that - thanks GGX!
it seems that they use French masters to make thir discs, so maybe it is to do with the rights. They same way that when Alliance release in the USA, they only contain the film.

Actually. I think I have been a bit harsh on the quality. The sound track is superb - great dts ma track. I think it's just that there is a lot of picture grain, but is this not a case with all of Tim Burton's non animation? This has a better picture than Big Fish or Scissorhands, for example. The grain just seems to muddy the detail, somehow if you know what I mean? Image shows no sign of being tampered with, though.
If you don't care about having the extras, I say buy it!
Still need to confirm the region, but optimum titles tend to be locked and this one says region b on the sleeve.
It's also a bd-25 if that interests anyone. Mpeg-4 AVC transfer, not the mpeg-2 one that Paramount used in the USA.

Just watched this and enjoyed it very much, P/Q is pretty good i thought (better than the R1 dvd i used to own), the DTS-HD soundtrack is superb, it is disappointing that there aren't any extra's on the disc but i've always liked this film and i'm glad i upgraded over my old dvd.

A lot (not all) of Optimum's Releases are in conjunction with Studio Canal. Normally, Canal creates the transfers and provides them to Gaumont:French Distributors and Kinowelt:German Distributors. That is why many of the transfers look the same as they are just spread across the 3 countries

is it the same PQ as the US?
