That's a question I was asking myself until recently but the announcement of Criterion release of the mega-version of IAMMMMW made me make-up my mind. I have just ordered 4 other Criterion titles plus the 40th Anniversary Region A version of The Exorcist.

http://www.mrmdvd.com/catalog/ - This UK based site is very good and you can get a hardware hacked Region-free BD player for under £200. The guys are very, very helpful.
