Well it's distributed by Sony in Japan, but here in the US it's distributed by Rogue Pictures which is a division of Universal. So I'm guessing whenever Universal jumps on board the Blu wagon? However, if I'm not mistaken, the Japanese version uses a different encode (MPEG4 & TruHD) than the HD DVD version. So the real question would be when it is released in the US, which encode are they going to use? If I was a betting man, I'd say the US version would be similar to the Universal/Rogue version since they would be the one's distributing it here in the US.

So, is the Japanese disc the European cut, I.E: The same as the French and Hong Kong and NOT the U.S. version with the atrocious CGI piano end sequence?

I've asked this before but have not received a reply.

Can anyone explain why these movies ( Unleasehd, Beowulf, Starship Troopers) are released overseas, but they don't see the light of day in the States?

Why don't the movie companies release these in thier own backyard?

Any links to other threads that explain this? I've tried searching.
