They're both out on the same day, are the same price and both have the DTS soundtrack. When I looked at the description on play247.com they seem to be different films, different extra features and different lengths. Play247.com often have thing wrongly specified but can anyone give me any more information?

OVERALL = Draw! Region 1 and Region 2 are more or less exactly the same. Like Chicken Run because of the way in which the extra features are worded, it may appear that they are different but they are not. I have laid out the above comparison in the SAME order for each region. Therefore, you have a quick and easy way of comparing the extra features. Although it may be worded differently, it is the same! Running times for the extra features differ due to the NTSC vs PAL factor. One minor difference is that the Region 1 version has the 6.1 extension for DTS but for this once we will ignore that fact as Gladiator is the FIRST UK DTS movie disc which is a cause for celebration!
THIS FILM HAS NOT BEEN CUT FOR UK RELEASE.
