I need to put my Play-Asia $5 coupon to good use soon then Thanks for the info!

[SpotInHD]

The pre-order is up at DDDHouse: http://dddhouse.com/v3/product_detai...ProductID=9028. And the pre-order price is listed as $28.21.

This might be getting some delay as I had it on order from Play-Asia together with Fearless and it was supposed to be released tomorrow, but Play-Asia suddenly split the shipment in 2 and shipped only Fearless today. I assume they wouldn't have done that if BoW was really coming out tomorrow.

EDIT: Just checked and they still expect to ship my copy of Battle of Wits before or on 31st of October anyway, so maybe it's not really delayed.

I have this on DVD , but may upgrade if I hear some good reviews from anyone here

[kannisto]

Just got the shipping notice for mine from Play-Asia so it does seem to come out as expected. I should receive mine sometime early next week.

I just missed out on this and was hoping a shop in HK would release it early after getting 4 movies from there. The trailers look interesting so I'll blind buy this soon. At times, it's still difficult for me to accept Andy Lau in types of roles.

Just received my Battle of Wits disc from Hong Kong today and confirmed that it's region free:

As it has the ABC mark in the back that should be the case anyway

Large disc image.
