Since the recent announcement that Wal*Mart have the exclusive rights to release the iMax version of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen on Blu-Ray and DVD and news that Nelson, admin of Michael Bay's website would be selling the DVD to international sellers which excluded certain countries including the UK, we have been in contact with ASDA to try to confirm which version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen they would be releasing within the UK. ASDA are, of course, owned by Wal*Mart. After some confusion their support staff told me that "The version that we are selling is the same version as the wall mart one" (yes with that typo). What this means is that UK fans that wish to own the full cut of Revenge of the Fallen should make sure that they pick up a copy of the film from ASDA.
