    OVERALL: Draw

    The R0 Anchor Bay Limited Edition has the best transfer and sound options out of all the releases. R4 Australia has also an audio commentary and other nice extras. The R2 German version also include nice extras but the transfers and sound options leave alot to be desired. The choice is yours.
