Sin city - UK/US

[maynard]

So what's the difference between the US and the UK version? All I can get from this site is that the video is the same.

Video

Video codec: MPEG-4 AVC
Video resolution: 1080p
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1

So what about audio, subtitles, run-time etc.?

Outside the covers it says:
UK: 2Discs theatrical & recut extended versions
US: 2Discs theatrical & recut extended unrated versions

Here on blu-ray.com they both say 147 mins, but when I check amazon onlu US version has 147mins. The UK one has 119mins.

Hope someone can answer all of my questions. Thanks.

As far as I know they are identical to each other. The UK version isn't called 'unrated' because I believe every film has to be rated for it to be released, but I'd wager it's the same version of the film. Just has an 18 rating.

Does the US have a pretty slip case though?

You can find the BD with the 3D Lenticular slipcase over at Axelmusic

Does that one have any differences?

I also see it's Canadian, is that correct or is there a US/UK-version too?
The scans of the cover don't seem "Frenched-up" though.

Also, that website says it's tested and found Region Free.
But, even though most including one Canadian on this website show they are Region Free,
another Canadian release of this year shows it's Region A.
That one's the "Unrated etc."-subtitle too.

US - https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Sin-City-Blu-ray/398/
UK - https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Sin-City-Blu-ray/5263/
CA - https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Sin-City-Blu-ray/1773/
CA2 - https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Sin-City-Blu-ray/6513/

So I'm not sure which it would be?
Or was the one you meant out before the second Canadian in August anyway?

Can someone confirm if the UK Sin City bd is really region free? I just emailed amazon uk about it and they told me that it will not play on my U.S. ps3.

According to this website it is: http://bluray.liesinc.net/index.php?region=b
And the release-page here says so too, both in description and someone that posted.

I'd just make sure by searching for something like "Sin City UK/Region B PS3".

Don't have an US PS3, but tried on my PC for both region A and B without any problem. Note I did not use the BD Live features. By the way I do not have any region 'free' software installed, so down to 3 region changes
