Only released last week, thought this was a decent price. Next cheapest appears to be Zoom (£9 w/code). Also in the 5 for £30 @ Hmv
Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) has been charged with bringing the Green Destiny, a legendary antique sword, to its new owner in the capital. But the sword is stolen by a mysterious black-clad thief whose martial arts expertise outshines even that of Shu Lien herself. Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) soon arrives to help search for the sword, and his suspicions are aroused when he realises that his old enemy Jade Fox (Cheng Pei-Pei) is nearby. Ang Lee's epic tale of martial arts chivalry broke box office records for foreign language film distribution, received critical acclaim the world over, and won four Oscars (Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Music, and Best Foreign Language Film).

Thanks. I was hoping for something less "professional" and more unbiased. I stopped reading that site years ago. Like, have they "fixed" the awful subtitle translations. I know of at least three different sets of subs (online, Region 4 DVD and BluRay) that even when you ignore the idiomatic nature give very different meaning to many scenes. And I don't speak Mandarin.

Quick summary of what's special versus the previous HD releases?

Worth pointing out Sony UK screwed up and printed the old disc in the new case. Luckily they're running a replacement programme so you can email them and you'll get the correct disc (next week I think).
