Ok, I managed to "find" the NTSC version. :)
I threw the blu V2 script on it, and I'll show you some comparisons here.
Pic 1: Just cropping and bicubic resize without filtering. (Same method used to resize pics in photoshop)
Pic 2: Upscaling, sharpening on grain level, motion-adaptive deinterlacing/antialiasing and some more.
So this is basically what we'll be able to do in case next year's blu-ray release would be bad.
