Anyone get the Starship Troopers (BD) import?

It seems that Starship Troopers was released in the UK on Blu-ray and is region free. It's one of my guilty pleasures, but was wondering if anyone here had purchased it and had some quality comments before I dropped twice what it would cost when released in the US to import it. Thanks!

I got it. Works fine in a US PS3. The picture for the most part is terrific! There were a few dark scenes that showed a lot of grain. But overall it is a solid disc.

Any additional features or is it just a repack of a previous release? Which release at that, did they combine the 2 DVD one into 1 Blu-Ray?

What, we don't get to listen to Verhoeven repeat "digital Johnny, real Johnny, digital Johnny, real Johnny, digital Johnny..." for half an hour anymore?
