Paramount Home Entertainment continues its dual-format next-gen support with another simultaneous release on Blu-ray and HD DVD. Oddly, they continue to use different codecs for the different formats, with the Blu-ray getting the MPEG-2 treatment, and HD DVD getting VC-1. Despite this difference, both transfers come from the same master, are presented in 2.35:1 widescreen and 1080p video, and look identical.

Bracke has already seen both versions and said they are identical.
