Head's up folks: Alien 3 has received a Strato V Compatibility Update. Unfortunately, it appears that the update strips the Special Edition cut. I'm unsure if the expectation is that this will return in the future (ala Extras) or if we're down to just the Theatrical Cut (like Bad Santa).
Personally, I expect the Special Edition WILL return in time. Although there has technically been a change of hands from 20th to Disney, Alien 3 is still widely distributed to other digital stores as a package of the Theatrical and Special Edition cuts (unlike Bad Santa, which is now sold as three separate products).
However, I thought I'd throw a notice out there for folks that might have non-Strato V players in their environment but are grabbing HD Compatibility updates. Consider yourselves warned.
