Comparison is now complete.

Even without the consideration of EngSubs I'd get the French DVD.

It's unfortunate that they only went with a single layer MPEG2 transfer. Anime can look amazing in HD but we've still yet to see a good looking release. In action on a large display the Paprika BD blows the DVD away but there's just so much wasted potential.

The French BD is supposed to have EngSubs + Other subs for all the extra features and commentary and is region free. Wonder if the now delayed super-duper French DVD release will have everything subtitled as well.

I just want to get a look at the BD to confirm it's the same transfer or better. I'll hold off my Paprika buying till all the releases are out. Japanese BD + softsubs on my HTPC for now.

Blue Ray disc is HD in name only, there is barely any difference between it and the the feckin DVDs! French DVD is a touch sharper, prolly down to PAL.

There's another version coming ?
Mine is a 2-discer with plenty of extras AND english subs on the film.

There any truth to the French BD having English subs?

As I've said, the french DVD has english subs.
The french BD probably does as well.

No offense, but there's a difference between speculation and confirmation.

The French BD has the movie, commentary and extra subbed in English + a shitton of other langs.

I'd post R2FI caps but

1) I can't get through Sony's copy protection... and using powerdvd would be useless if you guys have used the "Lourdes method".

2) It's probably a R2FR port, although the audio options are different.
Japanese, English and German 5.1
Commentary by Satoshi Kon
Subs in a zillion languages
Four trailers: (Tekkonkinkreet, Cowboy Bebop, Tokyo Godfathers, Memories)
Region 2,4,5 (according to the package)
7.95 GB
Bonus disc nowhere to be found

Totally true.

Also PowerDVD is arse for taking caps.

I watched the UK one last night and thought it looked like an upscaled DVD
