I searched and nada. So forgive me if it's already been discussed, but was this released in NA? What I've come across thus far are coverarts for what seem to be UK releases.

Any info or pics?

Ah, okay. Thanks!

I know there's a thread, but any news on a US/NA release?

Not yet, but the UK version is pretty good and it's region free

Alpha · 04-16-2010, 05:32 AM

Really appreciate the info guys. See if I pick up the UK release.

Thanks!

And Hong Kong.

If you have case OCD bear in mind that the UK and Aus releases are going to be in the thicker cases. The Hong Kong release is in the thinner Elite cases, which is the same as the US and Canada.

IIRC none of the versions released so far have lossless audio.

I've heard that the Dolby Digital track on the UK version is quite robust, but the disc does lack a lossless option. That's why I've never imported it myself.

Dave_6 · 04-16-2010, 04:00 PM

I'm just waiting on a NA release. It's a movie that definitely needs lossless audio, even though by this point ALL Blu's should have lossless.

ridergroov1 · 04-17-2010, 12:16 PM

I was bummed about the Dolby only track at first but I ordered it and was pretty surprised/happy with it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Blu-Benny · 04-17-2010, 01:30 PM

the u.k. version looks great and sounds great w/the dolby track.

Buddy Christ · 07-28-2010, 05:31 PM

Any news on US release?

ridergroov1 · 07-28-2010, 07:29 PM

Haven't heard any. The UK release is pretty decent. If you are a fan, pick it up. If the audio track is holding you back, I'd give it a listen. Pretty damn good for Dolby 5.1.

steve_dave · 07-28-2010, 08:06 PM

You can get the Australian release which is the same as the UK save for the censor board certificates as part of EzyDVD AU's 2 for $20 AUS deal.

Link

The sale also includes the Australian exclusives: The Game, The Interpreter, and D-Tox.

Even better, internaitonal customers do not pay GMT so it actually comes out to 2 for $18.18 AUS or 2 for 16.50 US before shipping.
