Question Ocean's Boxset-HD DVD or Blu Ray? UK or USA versions?

Decisions, decisions!

If anyone knows the better version to get, or somewhere that lists any differences I'd appreciate it.

Is there a UK version of the Ocean's boxset on blu-ray of hd-dvd? I couldn't find one, so I ordered the US blu-ray version.

Ah-I presumed there was a UK boxset, having noticed the USA one.

If the boxset is USA only, does anyone have an opinion on whether to go Red or Blue?

My HD-DVD box set arrived yesterday from Movietyme and while nice and colourful not sure they are the best adverts for HD. Although as films are inside most of time its to be expected.

Being the US version though, Ocean's 13 is one of the flipper disks, and I spent a long time comparing the HD to the SD disc and that did show the extra quality in the HD-DVD.

However the benchmark has been set so high with Transformers everything seems just a little disappointing after that.

Still happy with the set though
