Any idea if there are any differences between the individual releases? I’d double dip at this price but only with some new things
At a glance, not sure. I highly doubt it though. At this price, I don’t think they would invest doing anything new.
Thanks – matches my thinking. I think the U.S. release of #2 is still not uncensored, but my understanding is the difference is only a few seconds here and there
