Should be the same with the minor DNR as has been released across the globe. The major difference in the CA disc versus the rest is lossless audio.

I've been wanting to upgrade my US DVD release. I guess the CA release is the way to go. DVD beaver compares the UK Blu ray to the DVDs and it does look much better.

Yes but subtitles are burnt in the UK release. In the CA release the subs are optional.

The UK transfer is excellent and will play on all players. I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to import it. It's relatively cheap on amazon.uk, so, yeah.

I'm getting the Canadian release for $14 shipped. And subs are optional not burnt it (at least I have to assume subs are optional since there's both English and French subs)

Transfer is the same as the UK one, give or take, and the audio is better.

So it seems the Canadian release is the best version out there.

Shocked it never got a US release on blu ray.

The best version out there is the Canadian one hands down.
Lossless audio, AVC video and most of the extras from the inferior UK version + director's commentary

I just wish I could have gotten the German HD DVD when I had the chance as it does not have any DNR:

Wasn't it only released on HD-DVD in Spain?

Where from? That's a great price.

BTW, here's possibly the most expensive BD ever, the still-readily-available UK disc sold secondhand by a Canadian seller for CDN$ 14,999.97. Clearly a typo, lol, but still funny.
