I thought that a beefed up R1 release of this movie would make me a happy man but R1 is getting the screws real bad on this. Most times I can live with what the studios choose to release here but I wanted this title to be the ultimate release and it isn't shaping up to be that at all for us here in R1.

I'll probably end up getting this from another region for the DTS and extra discs, just gotta find out where from.
EDIT: Looks like I'll probably end up getting the German version, as of now. Anyone know if this one will have English subtitles?

English subtities.....that made me laugh.
A UK 3-discer has a release date of 12/26/05, no doubt the same material as the Aussie version. Alasm they plaster their ratings codes all over the front, too.

I might as well get Dellamorte Dellamore on DVD while I'm at it.

Unfortunately, it looks as they don't carry Dellamorte Dellamore. I got the Italian version of that from xploitedcinema a few years ago. I don't know how their international shipping is.. It's such a great movie, and definately in my top 10.

Is there something that the Australian version has that the German doesn't? They're both PAL, and the German has a 4th disc with the theatrical cut, as well as being cheaper. Definately seems like the way to go unless I'm missing something.

You're the man, fortinbras! Thanks for doing that translation for us.
I went ahead and took the plunge and ordered this off cd-wow yesterday. Looks like it's gonna be one of the best packages out there, and I can get rid of my R1 theatrical cut with the horrific cover.
I know some will complain of PAL speedup and wait to see what Japan has to offer, but I've never even noticed it.
