Yeah but I dont think it is better than the US release...
US- AVC, 14.96 Mbps, DTS-HD MA 5.1 3410 24-bit, BD50, extras, DNR (229 min. version) (Region Free)
IT- VC-1, 17.10 kbps , DTS-HD MA 5.1 2277 24-bit, BD50, No extras, big compression issues, new scenes in much rougher shape, both visually and aurally (Extended 250 min. version) (Region B locked)
source : List of International BDs with Better PQ, AQ, and/or More Extras - Blu-ray Forum
btw : the IT release is 1.85:1, the US release is 1.78:1
Thanks Daffie. I didn't realise there was a US version too. I'll update my wishlist
