    I was able to compare the Japanese Transporter 2 disc to the US disc and the Japanese HD DVD Underworld to the US Bluray disc. Transporter 2 was just like my comparison of Transporter 1. The Japanese disc uses AVC and nearly twice the bitrate to the US MPEG2, but the difference isn't nearly that big. The Japanese Transporter 2 may be a hair sharper, but they both have incredible detail. The main difference is the yellow/orange saturation of the US copies. The Japanese releases have much more natural color and skin tones, which for me, made the PQ much better. For Underworld, again both are incredible releases. I think the US disc had a bit of motion noise/artifacts that I didn't see on the Japanese release. When I first saw it, it had that digital look to it. The Japanese copy seemed to look slightly more natural, but this is getting quite picky. I don't think the average person would notice this difference, since I was actually looking for them. Another note, the Japanese HD DVD has a 24-bit TrueHD track that is IMO reference in every way. The US disc is 16-bit PCM, and is still very nice, but just didn't quite have the punch that the TrueHD track had. I did not know about the 24-bit vs 16-bit until I had compared them and came to this conclusion. Again, my findings are nothing scientific or definite, but those are the conclusion I've drawn.

    My equipment is in my sig. (The 805 is what I use now for HD DVD.)

    Next up for me, The Prestige (Japanese HD DVD with AVC and TrueHD vs. US Bluray) I think I'll be splitting hairs again.

    Saw can be imported from Germany (Amazon.de), not the UK. It's superior to the US version in PQ, AQ, extra features, and has cooler cover art

    In general Kinowelt > Lionsgate (at least for early Lionsgate releases).

    Is the UK release of Basic Instinct also the Unrated Directors Cut as featured on the US Blu-ray release?

    Also, are the extras on the Optimum UK release of Pans Labyrinth in PAL?
