Very small update in "Titles Available for Order" section: Changed price of Fantastic Four to $30.33 (EUR 22.60) in the Amazon.de listing as they have reduced the price.

Updates:

- Added "Hero" (German release) to "Titles Available for Order" section
- Added HD Movie Source as a source for imports to applicable titles
- Removed "International News and Announcements" and "Upcoming releases" sections as their content was out-of-date. New sections will be added if necessary when there is content for them available.

So I take it the Polish import of Underworld Evolution is better than the spanish since you dont have to do anything special to just have english audio and no subtitles? Id like to buy it but the links take you to Polish dvd sites (of course) only and I dont see a way I can order from those since I cant read anything. Anyone know where I can go to buy this that is in english?

I've seriously been struggling to find a comprehensive source for importing HD DVDs, and then you even throw in a converter and hyperlinks?!!?
I freaking love you!
Bravo, buddy.

It's not sure if the Polish release is better than Spanish since the PQ/AQ is not really known for that one, at least I've not seen any reviews. Many people commented that PQ of the Spanish release is really excellent. Personally I'd get the Spanish release as a more known quantity if I was going to order it unless I saw some reviews or user comments about the Polish release first.

Also note that those "Warning" notes are given for titles that have some known issues, titles that don't have any "Warning" are not quaranteed to be free of such issues especially if they've not been released yet or reviewed by anyone. I add those "Warnings" to titles when such issues become known for the release in question e.g. in forum discussions and/or from my own experience. Most import releases that have English original audio are free of such concerns (forced subs etc.) though.

As Vov76 noted, Merlin.pl has English instructions for ordering etc. I'll add some note about that to the generic instructions section in this import thread.

I'll report back later regarding how the delivery went.

The ordering itself was easy enough using Merlin's instructions but Polish to English online translator was really useful at some points as well. I used http://www.poltran.com/

Unfortunately the web page for poltran was not accessible some of the time so I had to use my instincts a bit as well

Great thread Kannisto, thanks!

Useful also for Europeans like me especially when it comes to importing from Asia.

I wouldn't trust that status so much though, Amazon France had that kind of status for the 2nd phase Studio Canal releases already 2 months before they were actually released (after the original planned release date in March passed).

My Hannibal order hasn't moved either, it still has estimated ship date of October 1st in Amazon France (no other items in the same order). I haven't heard of anybody else's order having shipped so far either.

Anyway, I do hope they start shipping Hannibal sometime soonish.
