The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track is superbly produced with music being the dominant element. Even if it's a flawed score, it envelopes the viewer greatly at points and all other aspects of the soundtrack are presented well. A Cantonese DTS 5.1 option and a Dolby Digital 5.1 Mandarin dub is also available.

The English subtitles has a few slight errors but are excellent otherwise. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available.

This is a 2 Disc set with the first disc, entitled The Legend, holding only one extra and that is the Cantonese language audio commentary with the Cast & Crew. Only traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are available for this track. Being such a high profile release, it's a shame time wasn't taken to make this extra available to non-Cantonese speakers.

We move on to the 2nd disc where the rest of the extras reside but first we're greeted to a mobile phone ad. Thankfully you can skip it. Let's start from top to bottom shall we?

Select The Story and you get something as exciting as 3-screen plot synopsis (available in English and Chinese). Useless since this is also printed on the back cover. A note about the packaging, in a nice touch, the outer sleeve has different front cover art than the inner front artwork. The slipcase shows Shawn Yue, Carina Lau and Edison Chen while the rest of the main cast is fully revealed on the inner artwork.

Deleted Scene is actually 4 clips, 2 of which are extensions (as far as I could gather). No subtitles are provided so I can't judge on the importance and quality of these.

Confidential File (5 minutes, 43 seconds) is a similar piece to that found on the dvd of the first Infernal Affairs. No subtitles are needed for this program that takes us to the traditional ceremony prior to shooting and a few nice, lighthearted behind the scenes moments (not counting the bit where the camera crew almost gets run over) are subsequently provided.

The Making Of can be played in full or in short bursts via the additional 4 options in this section. The shorter programs are different edits but to the best of my knowledge, all its content can be found in the full making of. The total running time is 21 minutes, 55 seconds and the program comes with burned in English subtitles. As an intro, we suitably hear talk of the real acting talent involved before we launch into the first half where the cast & crew mainly talk about characters. What follows in the second half is an unexpected and honest discussion about acting that normally doesn't get a huge part in these programs. There's no over the top praise of the young cast and the ever so honest Anthony Wong thinks they both have a long way to go. It's a good start however says Francis about Shawn Yue.

Trailers holds the teaser for Infernal Affairs II (same clip that plays before the main menu on disc 1), its theatrical trailer, international trailer, video trailer and 6 TV spots (the 3 minute version option plays several versions). These all sell the movie very well, especially when cutting together images set to the best parts of Comfort Chan's score. The English trailer voice for the international clip does detract somewhat from the overall impact though. After a while, the choosen structure to the this advertising start to become repetitive also but it's a solid section of the disc. Under More Attractions you'll find perhaps the coolest extra on the second platter; teaser and international trailer for Infernal Affairs III. All clips feature burned in English subtitles. The Music Video by Beyond, mixes movie footage and the band performing the theme song on a rooftop. Pretty dull and I'm not that psyched about the song either.

Cast & Credits has two sub sections, first called Cast & Staff listing. It is exactly that, no info at all but that comes under the selection Bio & Filmo. Co-director/producer/co-cinematographer Andrew Lau and co-director/co-writer Alan Mak get super short biographies and filmographies in both English and Chinese. The actors get short character bio's as well (in English and Chinese) plus there's a play button for each one that takes you to 1 minute clips focusing on that particular character. Mixing quick-cut behind the scenes footage with cast & crew interviews, this segments doesn't provide any great depth and for the most part have already been seen in the longer making of. All clips feature burned in English subtitles. The Photo Gallery (17 screens) showcases both the usual lobby stills and the variety of poster art used for the film. Nice to look at once. Also included in the disc's case are 4 bookmarks with the main cast, in the familiar poses from the advertising art.

An Easter Egg is also available on the 2nd disc also. Press right to highlight the Infernal Affairs II-logo and press enter on your remote. It'll take you to a short outtakes/blooper reel (1 minute 59 seconds). For those of you that can understand this untranslated clip, maybe there's a chuckle or two to be found but as most programs of this sort, it's just not very interesting.

Megastar have now taken a few steps forward by providing English subtitles for part of the extras. I wish they would've had the deleted scenes and the commentary in mind in regards to that but progress is progress. Let's hope we see Megastar will take the next big step into becoming a really major player in the Hong Kong dvd market.
