Yeah, but if they were going to start carrying import DVDs then one would think they'd let at least the customers know, right? They advertised that they were lowering the prices a bit so that everybody knew, but carrying import DVDs is a bigger deal, and not so much as an e-mail to the customers about it.

it's gone from Very Long Wait to Long Wait. I don't know how long it's been on VLW, but if it keeps dropping it might be available by March

The Bonus Disc is available now. I've moved it high on the queue, so when I ship SLC Punk back I'll get the bonus disc

So what....is this a place you buy movies from, hire 'em, or both??

You rent movies from them. A monthly fee, you get a certain amount of movies out at a time, keep them as long as you want, then mail them back

Can you buy ex rentals or new dvds from 'em? I didn't yet go to the link, because I'm unsure of whether or not it's available here.

[The STE]

can't buy anything from them. They send you the disc in a little envelope, you send it back in the same envelope when you're done with it

from Battleroyalefilms.net:

Battle Royale on Netflix: The American online rental service Netflix has, for some reason, added BR to its library, even though there is no R1 release of the title. The picture in its listing is of the UK PAL Special Edition by Tartan, which will not play on many American DVD players, which adds to the confusion. If you're one of the lucky people who has this coming to your mailbox (there's currently a long wait for the title), please let us know which version it turns out to be--the speculation ranges from the highly unlikely scenario that Tartan (which has recently opened a U.S. division) has quietly acquired U.S. release rights and released the film with no press whatsoever, to Netflix now adding import R0 NTSC titles to its library (either a bootleg, the R0 NTSC Korean Special Edition, or the R0 NTSC Tartan UK Original Version).

Weird...agreed.
But, doesn't really matter does it?
In my exp in the past, with Japanese/asian films where I've got to see both the US and Jap/asian versions, the version of the dvd from the country out of which it was released, usually has better extras, AND better trailers...I usually get the those versions unless there's no english audio and/or subtitles.
You'll find that unless it's a dodgy, cheap third party released dvd, that you'll get more out of the "original" dvd anyways...

It always seems like the special features on the official Asian releases have no Eng. subtitles... too bad, really. I'd love to know what they're talking about in the "Gozu" making of - for example.

the bonus disc works fine, the movie disc will ship tomorrow
