Then you must indeed have a different edition, because my menu is in English and the extras are as I described them.

As for the image, I said in my review that I consider screen caps to be of limited utility in assessing the key differences between the Anchor Bay and Meridian editions. But in terms of color, I'd say that your stills are indicative of the general difference in "temperature" (not to mention detail) between the AB and the Meridian, and that I find the Meridian's director-approved transfer to be superior. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own taste.
