OVERALL: Draw

Between the 2-Disc editions, except R2 Italy. R2 Scandinavia, German and Russian releases have the edge for best selection of extras and DTS-ES audio but note that the subtitles are forced on the German release. The UK LE has the OST. Just avoid the Italian SE as it misses out on the DTS soundtrack.

If you don't care about extras then either of the Superbit releases will do.

• R1 Collector's Edition America- MGM Home Entertainment - No Cuts (131:23 NTSC)
