I´d advice you to get the dutch one from here:

http://www.movies-blu-ray.nl/index.p...d=1208&lang=NL

Then you get the uncut version, good price and from a reseller that many say is doing a great job. I have just ordered the same and he takes Paypal.

Ooops...my first post!

That one and the one on Amazon.fr appear to be the same. How does the transfer compare to the Optimum one from the UK? Or do you guys not actually watch the movies, just collect steelbooks?

Sorry, can`t help you with that. I´m guessing it´s as good or better.

No negligible difference in the transfer department.

So is this a new transfer? I'm not getting it if it's the same one as the earlier US release

This is a lot better than the US version. Even the first optimum UK version was better than the US one. And this new remastered version is again a bit above the original UK version.

The problem with Amazon.fr is that they tend to ship the standard amaray, even if the product specification states it as being a steelbook, If you didn't already know that . Your best bet is to look on Ebay. The German Uncut, Dutch, French versions are all the same I believe.

Many were region locked, though. I think the Dutch was the only region free one?

They only have one listing of the special edition, which appears to be a steelbook.

Thanks, it's just because here it's listed as 113 minutes while the pages for the uncut are 115 min.
