I ordered mine from the same place as Cricepng. They were a little slow to ship and I hope it doesn't take 17 days to get here, but I'm pleased that I will finally have this on bd. I really expected the US version to be out already and I'm tired of waiting.

Is the Australian one region free? I've found one forum that mentioned it was, then there are some Ebay listings that say it's Region B (not that I trust Ebay listing info).

According to Mrs Incredible the disc is Region A compatible; Region C was not tested.

I wouldn't trust eBay as most sites simply list the standard region code for the country. In this case Region B for Australia.

Thanks! Guess there's not much of a reason to wait for the US one to come out...

The transfer just looks ok to me so far. About a 3 (3.5 at times). I like natural film grain but this seems excessive and kind of makes things look a bit murky.

The sound is master audio which for some reason I thought was just Dolby Digital 5.1. Seems like a weird mix, as the front channel seems louder than it should. More like a sci-Fi film than a rom-com. If anything, dialog heavy movies need us to turn it up a bit and we needed to crank this down.

Still so much better than DVD and I'm almost positive this will be how it looks when it finally gets a US release. Or maybe they delayed it to DNR it to death.

Glad I made the purchase finally and it took only 8 days to get here from Australia.
