Just in case it's useful: very long discussion in German: http://forum.cinefacts.de/200899-la-bete-13.html

The DVD has supposedly better picture quality than the Cult Epics edition (less ghosting) (judging by runtime, the Cult Epics edition might be a PAL->NTSC port). But this one isn't English-friendly.

Some details are a bit hazy, but I hope I've got to the bottom of it all, and I hope the sources are good enough! And thanks to google translate!

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Added them all!

[baggish]

Cheers James! Is it worth mentioning that the Limited Editions really are limited? 500 copies for the DVD (individually numbered, according to the long German discussion), 1000 for the Blu-Ray (don't know if these are individually numbered as well).

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Thanks for the numbers, added those too.
I also did not add the runtime for the standard German DVD, as it could be an NTSC to PAL runtime or a film+trailer runtime, not being clear.
