Comments	No subtitles on either edition. The Blue Underground is sharper with better color separation and superior contrast. There is a little bit of cropping in the Blue Underground. Extras go the way of Blue Underground as well... with an excellent commentary. Pretty easy choice here. - Gary W . Tooze
