OVERALL: Draw
The US, German, Japanese, and UK releases for the differing extras and lossless soundtrack.
Note:
The 5.1 track is actually 2.0 mono with no front centre or surround activity; despite being pushed through a genuine 5.1 delivery. Confirmed on the UK disc and therefore most likely the same on the others
