OVERALL: Draw
- R2 UK CE by Optimum has the best extras, including the "Burnt Offering" documentary and a soundtrack CD. The only drawback is that the Director's cut is a NTSC/PAL conversion.
- The US Collector's Edition does not have the "Burnt Offerings" documentary, but has a few ones not found on the UK disc (TV and radio spots, biographies), and it offers the Director's cut with a proper transfer.
Also note that the R2 UK "Classic Collection" edition has some additional goodies.
Steve Phillips has gathered an extensively detailed summary of the differences between the three versions of the film HERE. A PDF download of those details is also available there.
