Cheers guys - I have just found it too on play.com for £9.99 it's advertised as a mini series version approx 5 hours so that must be it. I never realised it was available but I 'm damn glad it is Yeh!
I will check out the amazon price too Thanks for that.
BTW, I noticed while looking at play.com that the directors cut has been released in the new superbit encoded version for super high quality picture, so just over 3 hours worth uses 2 discs! (hmm I wonder if the longer version will get the superbit treatment - not sure if I would be keen to have to swap discs part way through though!
)
Cheers again guys
