The US version has DTS MA (swedish) but bad subtitles, let's hope the UK version get i right with loss less and theatrical subtitles (alas the cover look particulary crappy).

avanbeek Member Posts: 11	Having got my hands on a Blu-ray checkdisc (at last), here's the specs you've been after... AVC 2.35:1 1080p encode Dolby Digital 5.1 & DTS 5.1 Swedish language soundtracks (no lossless audio, sorry) English subtitles (having compared it to the original US BD, the UK disc definitely has the 'original theatrical subtitles') Animated Picture Gallery (3mins / 1080i) Director's Comments - English language commentary track from the writer and director UK Trailer (1min / 480p) Deleted Scenes x4 (6mins / 1080p) So that means I'm still holding out for a disc with all of the extras and lossless audio. Grr...
