There's also a link there to pre-order from Amazon altho when I did a search at Amazon I didn't come up with anything but the well-known DVD releases. Going to investigate now.
Edit: the ASIN is B004SUDQ4U, just search for that (using the Subsim link of course!). Just pre-ordered mine.
I've seen a few comments online (maybe even here) from people who saw the European release who didn't think the quality was much improved on Blu Ray and doubted whether it was worth having. However I've never seen the original theatrical release and altho I probably won't like it as much, being used to the longer versions, this will no doubt be my one shot at actually owning a copy of it.
Edit Redux: Oh and THANK YOU SCRAPSER for the heads up!!
