That's the problem. I did find a couple of new ones out there (fortunately, I got mine new as well), but the shipping was around €27 to the U.S. Fortunately, Amazon Germany still has cheap shipping, so if I can get something there, I'm good. And Opera happened to be available, so...

Thats scalping on shipping costs. A small package, containing one movie can be shipped trackable via DHL to USA for under 10 €.

Maybe those companies had trouble with lost deliveries or something and stopped using DHL. I don't know what the reason is, but it sucks. I wrote to D&T Mailorder about it, but never got a response. I used to order most of my German/Austrian titles from them before they doubled their shipping prices.

Am wondering whether this release will be uncut. Can't help but think of Sleepless being censored in Germany. The first murder and the scissors moment (with the seamstress) ring alarm bells for me.

Well I ordered it via amazon.de. Hoping that it's an upgrade over my current Japanese version.
