Found some intriguing screenshot comparisons while researching this release:

I have held off on all the previous releases and it's probably a bad idea to get excited, but maybe it's finally time to make a purchase. Not a fan of the cover art though.
If anyone finds any new info regarding the a/v quality for this, please post. Also any decent prices for US residents. Best price I found for the 2 disc set was at Amazon.co.uk at £15.83 including shipping - about $32.

Another review:

Pretty exhaustive and detailed comparison review with several screen shots.
No clear winner, which is not surprising. But this release has a remastered progressive widescreen transfer, so I will bite.

The Ultimate edition looks a lot better than the Sony offering, but it seems a little took dark at some places...and Unicron looks kind of green.
Still, best option for me is to get the Sony disc as well, not for the extras but because of the open matte version, which UE only has as the UK version which I don't care of at all.
