Thanks for the comparison shots DJ. It's interesting that, aside from the obvious difference in colour, the HDTV2DVD version also looks sharper, more detailed and has less cropping. I'll have to get around to looking at the PAL release.
What are your plans for a true HD release - i.e. are you going to use the 5.1 audio off the DVD? And are you going to re-instate the censored scenes with video from the DVD upscaled?
