Report this post		The R1 spec says 22 Extended and Deleted Scenes vs. this edition's 4 :rolleyes:

Any word on if this R2 edition is one disc or two?

Report this post		I got the UK test disk a while back and all the stuff above is all on the one disk.

I can't remember seeing 'Inside Look – Robots behind the scenes with Chris Wedge'. Maybe is't hidden or maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Report this post		Did the test disc have more than the 4 deleted scenes quoted in the press release? It seems like the menu is implying that all of the scenes from the R1 are present on this version. The menu does also appear to confirm that the Charlie Rose interview from the R1 isn't present (can you confrm that too?). Other than that it looks like we get most of the contents of the 2-disc set.
It's a shame that it's all been squeezed onto one disc, although the R1 2-disc did have full-screen and widescreen versions on a DVD-10, and maybe the 2nd disc was only single-layer anyway. If all the deleted scenes are on the R2, I might go for that one, just because it seems they have gone to the effort to provide English subtitles for everything. If only I can resist until it inevitably drops below £10 in a couple of months...

Report this post		I would have to have another look at the disk to be sure but I'm pretty sure there were not as many as 21 deleated scenes, I think I would have rememberd that as I loved the film and would have wanted to watch as much of the extras as I could.

Report this post		I've added a few more menu screens to save any confusion. 4 Deleted Scenes is all you get, totalling approx 18mins.

Report this post		Thanks for the update... bah, looks like the R1 for me, which is annoying because I held off buying it for a while unnecessarily. After doing some things right for the R2 edition - dropping the pan & scan transfer (and the dual sided disc, which I never really like) and subtitling all the extras - it's a shame they've made the disc less appealing in other areas.
