As a side note the UK "Ultimate Rekall Edition" comparison has an error in the thanks section because the user's name has been inadvertently hyperlinked and there's an additional "Also available in a" just above it.

Apologies for any errors in this submission as I haven't done one of these in years .

Hi Oliver,
I assume the single disc edition which you are listing here is just the Blu-ray from the Blu-ray+DVD edition listed - which I updated a few days ago.
There are a few discrepancies so could you please check the following:

German menu:
- Does the single disc include the German commentary? And does it include English subtitles?
- Is the photo gallery accessible?
- Is the English commentary accessible?

French menu:
- Is the English commentary accessible?

Sure, I'll double check my copy ASAP then update the OP and let you know once I'm finished .

Double Post:

I have updated the OP and must apologize as I did indeed miss a few things, mainly due to poor menu design . If anything else needs doing, then please let me know and I'll sort it out ASAP .

EDIT: I've just noticed another error in the main comparison i.e the German "Ultimate Rekall Edition" comparison has an error in the thanks section because the entirety of the feedback sentence has been inadvertently hyperlinked instead of just part of it. Also, there's an additional "Also available in a" just above it.

Thanks for checking. Since it's confirmed that the single disc is identical to the Ultimate Rekall Blu-ray disc, I've just added it as as a note on the release as "Also available in", and thanks for picking out the minor errors. But yes, definitely confusing menu design.

[Oliver_Wicks]

I've just noticed one other small point i.e this release doesn't come with the booklet that is included with the 2 disc version .
