I'll buy the Leon set, I have the current international version but would love it in Superbit.

Yep. The FE transfer is already about as good as it gets. And the Leon transfer is fine as well.

Double and tripple dipping on DVDs are only OK if they fix/improve the transfer or make it anamorphic. After that, it's a waste

Does anyone know if the Leon DVD will have both versions (international and the US edit)?

 

[Modeps]

Just out of curiosity, whats the difference between the US and International?

The US version has more content that was edited out - I believe some ~20 minutes' worth.

You'd think it would be the other way around
