Just arrived...

Monsters, Inc. (BD, Buena Vista, Region ABC, UK)

While the postponed US release is still no nearer to getting an actual release date (and may indeed slip into 2010 if rumours are to be believed), the UK version came out on schedule on July 27. Unlike the Japanese release, it has the original English-language signs and on-screen text rather than the internationally-friendly textless equivalents. Well, actually, both versions are provided thanks to the magic of BD playlists, which strings together several .m2ts files (just like a choose your own adventure book, as my brother puts it). On the start-up screen with you pop in the disc, if you choose English, you get the original version. Choose any other language and you get the international variant.

Now to see if I can make any money back by punting my Japanese BD...
