"8 Mile" uncensored v. censored DVD?

Are the only differences between the Censored and Uncensored versions:
the rap battles (w/ swearing) and music video (w/nudity)?Meaning there are no differences in the movie itself?

Also, does the back of the Uncensored case have a 'R' rating or 'UR'? I saw the 'R' rated DVD, but it said Uncensored rap battles and music video. Usually when extras are unrated the DVD usually is too which is why I am confused.
Thanks much.

I'm pretty sure that Uncensored/Censored refers only to the bonus features.

It does refer only to the bonus features and is just a pointless marketing ploy. Some people may think the movie is 'uncensored' and overlook 'bonus features' listed on the packaging right under it in tiny print.

The unrated version of Dukes of Hazzard has "PG-13" and "Unrated" bonus features,which is pretty pointless.

Yeah, mine says uncensored bonus features on the back, but it still has an R-rating listed for the movie.

Well, I'm glad both releases were available in "unrated" form and I bought the unrated versions of each. I agree that calling them "unrated" is a joke, as the main feature is all that ever gets rated anyway.

The "uncensored" version is actually a copy of "Purple Rain"
