Notes:*The "original storyboard featurette" on both discs is misauthored and plays the feature instead.
The "uncut and uncensored R rated" wording in some of the promotional materials for this edition refers to the Australian classification not the American R-rated version which was trimmed of material from the international version.
The standard edition is also available with a limited slipcover from Umbrella Entertainment (a non-slipcover version can also be purchased there) as well as a limited numbered collector's edition featuring:
- a 150+ page hardback book with never before seen behind the scenes, experiences and art from director Richard Stanley;
- a 100+ page softback book of the unreleased "Hardware 2: Ground Zero" script;
- custom designed rigid case, slipcase and books using pre-production artwork and posters;
- 8 art cards;
- A3 reversible poster. -
