I've read some info about the German DWW release and the consensus is the video is very good but not outstanding sporting a MPEG AVC encode with less than 20mb bitrates on average. This is very tempting to buy... at €24.95 plus shipping it looks to be about $39 getting it through this group buy. Going to think about this and make a decision as time gets closer to order, hopefully we'll see a price drop.

It's a shame that there wasn't more interest for DWW in the last group buy. It was part of a 3 for 45 EUR sale so I was able to snag a copy for 15 EUR and sold my extra copy for profit. That was a good sale, it was actually the reason I did the group buy.

First page is updated. The exchange rate went up so everything is up $1 except T3 SB (same) and Running Scared (down $5). I'll redo prices again before the order so the current exchange rate will be considered.

That really is a shame, sure wish I'd been paying attention, but then I probably didn't have a Region B capable machine back then. Sorry, but I went ahead and picked up a copy from the trading forums, and none of the other titles interest me at this time. But I sure highly recommend Dances With Wolves to everyone with Region B capable players. My copy arrived yesterday and I played it last night up to the Intermission, and I think it's just stunning. The video quality is excellent, very rich and detailed, and the DTS Master Audio 7.1 is absolutely perfect, I felt as though I was immersed in the middle of everything. Three thumbs up!


And Jester - your problem getting it to load on your BH200: It pauses during loading on a screen in German that seems to be like an "end user agreement" (I understand very little German, but it appeared to be saying by going forward you were agreeing to it) - I had to press Enter or Chapter Skip to get past it. I used Enter the the first time, then I stopped it watch "24" and see if it would Resume where I stopped. The second time I used Chapter Skip to get past that screen and that worked as well. An no, it doesn't Resume where you left off, but that's OK.

Same as it has been from the start, 5/29 to coincide with the release of Time Bandits.

No word yet, it's still a pre-order. Chances are it will be free because it's a Sony title released in many countries. That pretty much means 99.8% chance it's region free.
