I'll just repost my post in 'software':

Has anyone here imported the Dutch edition of Dead Ringers which is a direct port of the Criterion and has the same extras, even the same artwork with "The Criterion Collection" banner and apprently the same superb 1.66:1 non-anamorphic transfer?
www.dvdsales.be has it, but they require telephone confirmation and this could be tricky as my Dutch is... non-existant!

I have it, though I've not imported it.
The extras are the same, but I don't think the transfer is. It's framed at about 1.80-1.85:1 and doesn't look too good to my eyes. The 5.1 sound is apparently a 2.0 'upmix'. It seems they just tried to mimic the specs of the Criterion version.
There's no insert, and the cover art is different from the Criterion (though it does have the Criterion banner):
You can get it
very cheap here, though I don't know the international shipping rates:

The exact same disc (without cover) is also available in the following (also very cheap) 7 disc set:

EDIT: And yes, I would say that's a pretty reliable Dutch e-tailer. It's the biggest chain of cd/dvd stores in Holland/Belgium. Not much info on titles however.....
