Wonder if it's because SA thinks Blu-Ray is too risky and won't sell. I don't know. Just wish I had more to choose from. Looks like I'll just have to import until this format war is over. Anyone else have this problem in their country?

How's the HDTV situation in SA? It definitely seems the excitement about HD discs is proportional to the penetration of HDTV and HD broadcasts in a region.

What are the prices for BD discs there, out of curiosity?

Can you import them without too much trouble or cost?
