"Both Blu-ray editions of World War Z feature the Unrated Cut in 2D, 1080p video, DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround, and DVD and UltraViolet copies of the film. Only the 3D combo pack includes both the Unrated and theatrical cuts (each in 1080p with DTS-HD MA 7.1 surround); the unrated cut is presented in 2D, while the theatrical cut presented on a separate MVC-encoded disc in 3D. Extras for both releases include:

-Origins: The filmmakers discuss collaborating with renowned actor/producer Brad Pitt to create a Zombie film the likes of which have never been seen.
-Looking to Science: Explore the scientific realities of Zombie behavior in nature and learn more about Zombies in literature and film.
-WWZ Production:
Outbreak: Go on set with Brad Pitt and director Marc Forster for a behind-the-scenes look at the film's breathtaking first attack in Philadelphia.
The Journey Begins: Delve deeper into Gerry's fight for survival during the dramatic escape in South Korea.
Behind The Wall: Explore the epic scene in Jerusalem and discover the incredible logistics of creating the elaborate stunts and crowd sequences.
Camouflage: Experience the final confrontation between Gerry and the Zombies and discover the phenomenal scope of the film's production."

I'm really curious to see the unrated cut, since the theatrical version was rather bloodless.

as for the audio mix - I thought Paramount only released this in 5.1. Apparently this was theatrically released in 7.1 too - who knew? (I didn't).

Yes there is a 7.1 version on the DCP drive.

wow, I wasn't all that impressed with the theatrical cut, but the new unrated cut adds much more intensity (and gore) and I approve.

Ya Unrated cut was much better.
