Anyone point me in the right direction?

Metropolitan's French set (which I have) is absolutely the way to go. It's pricier than the German set but it's worth it. All films have DTS-HD MA sound and I think at least some of the German discs are DTS-HD HR. Also, I think the French set is the only one with the 121 minute extreme director's cut of Saw III.

The " List of International BDs with Better PQ, AQ, and/or More Extras" thread shows the French versions of Saw I and Saw III as better than any other versions available.

Good news: No forced French subtitles.
Bad news (if you are not in Europe and you are not region free): Region B locked.

Edit: Oh, you were the one asking questions in the second thread I posted the link to above. So, again, go French on this one.
