Breakfast on Pluto out on dvd, extended scenes on European version only

Cillian Murphy fans in North America were excited when Breakfast on Pluto was released on DVD here last month, but the packaging was widely derided, and the complete omission of deleted scenes—which are discussed by Cillian and Neil Jordan on the DVD commentary track—was much lamented.

Well folks, a far superior edition of the BoP DVD was released in Europe yesterday, and this cillianONLINE correspondent had pre-ordered it from HMV.com in the UK and so received it in California... yesterday! Not only are the packaging and DVD menu design more inspired, but there is an "Extended Scenes" DVD extra feature which includes four deleted scenes. Even if you don't live in DVD Region 2, the UK DVD is well worth ordering from any number of online stores. You can view the DVD on a multi-region DVD player or you can temporarily change the region setting on your Mac (or PC?) and burn a multi-region copy for viewing on your DVD player.
