I received it from Yesasia earlier this week, it is nice, mine came with a calendar and extra poster all in a very nice box. I'll post some comments once I have watched it this weekend.

I received my set from CD Wow this morning. Came in a nicely packaged plastic box with the 8 dvds in cases along with a small ringbound folder with pictures, drawings and English words :thumbsup: I got 2 double sided posters and a promo poster with mine.
In answer to your question - most of the extras have no English subtitles. Looking through the first and second disk - not wanting to spoil the second film for myself as I haven't yet watched this - the first disk has no English subtitles that I could see. The second has the 'making of', subtitled in English.
Lots of visual stuff though that can still be enjoyed. Maybe an opportunity to learn Cantonese or Mandarin.
Initial impressions of the quality watching the start of the first film is that the picture is very clear. Had a high bitrate, 8.5 to 9.5 Mbs on the 1st chapter where you first see the characters.
Sound is supposed to be full bitrate DTS - will comment on that when I watch this version of the first film this evening.

I watched the first film last night, the DTS ES sound is first rate, very impressive. The PQ is also very good with no visible artifacts or damage to the print. The only let down is that they have decided to overlay the subtitles along the bottom of the film and not in the black banding below the action. Also the font is the usual Asian pixelated rubbish so not the best to read but you get used to it.
Other than that, the 1st film is higely enjoyable, will take a look at the extras and sequels later this week.
