Yeah, I was going to import it too until I saw that it would have been $50 after shipping from Amazon.de

$20 dollars in English packaging is much better

hey guys --

Was hoping to do a post on this title and add it to our database, but I haven't been able to find any distributor information for the disc's North American release. Imagion does not currently release titles over here, so has anyone heard or know who the U.S. distributor is?

Thanks much,

I don't know.

Amazon has Steamhammer US as the distributor on DVD. I imagine it would be the same for the HD-DVD release but I can't find anything on their website.

engadgedhd.com is indicating that the distributor is Imagion AG. FYI it's now $19.95 pre ordered from Amazon.com US. Just did the pre-order for it. Lemmy is God!!

Just got my Motorhead HD-DVD in.

Definitely one of the weirdest releases so far. Comes in a UK style case with no security sticker and a 13 page insert. The video is good but this is a victim of MTV style editing (aka about a million camera changes) along with alot of SD footage of the drummer drumming and a horrible matrix thing. Subtitles seem to be broken or at least I can't turn them on. The web extras are pretty cool. There's news (which hasn't been updated since July), tour dates, photos, fan artwork (everything from rings to custom car jobs) and tattoos.

Amazon.com delayed their shipments till Nov. 5 so I cancelled it and will order elsewhere. This was with Amazon Prime.

No, I already have mine. They mailed it on Tuesday and I recieved it today.

Oops sorry I scrolled up and noticed that bro. I was emailed about 2 hours ago saying there was a delay to Nov. 5 as I said. Thats what I get for using Amazon Prime 2-day shipping I guess. lol.

Hey, I used the same thing.

I'm guessing they got a little overwhelmed with preorders, I placed mine on October 19th...when did you place yours?
