It's a shame there will be no new extras, there haven't really been any major new extras for ED1 since the Anchor Bay Ultimate Edition 3-disc 2007 DVD, and ED2 since the 2011 US Lionsgate Widescreen Blu-Ray.

UPDATE 10/13: Caps-A-Holic Comparison (and based on Screenshot 8, it's possibly the 4K release is the original unaltered/tweakless version!):

UPDATE 10/17: Turns out the UHD is a combination of both tweaked and untweaked versions:

Is it just me or are they using the Divimax transfer for the trailer?
