I ordered my copy from Axelmusic. More expensive than Yesasia, but I don´t have to worry about customs. However there will be an R1 edition which will have a DTS-ES soundtrack, but probably not as nice packaging as the R3. The book that comes with the R3 set is supposed to be neat. The front...
I don´t know since I have never done a comparison myself. Although I would be surprised if the Japanese should be worse than R1. I have never been disappointed with any of my own Japanese Superbits. I do recall that some Japanese Superbits didn´t have a DD 5.1 track, instead it had just a...
The Abyss - not anamorphic, but there has been rumours that the upcoming Cinema Reserve edition might be anamorphic. Color Of Money - according to Dvdcompare you should chose R2/R4 because they are anamorphic (R1 is not), so I guess R2UK must be anamorphic. Eastwood westerns - the R2UK SE...
I´ve not seen anyone make a comment about it in R1 reviews, but then I´ve not seen comments about it (or the syncproblem) in reviews of the Swedish edition either. So I guess people doesn´t seem to care to much.

Tim: It would be very interesting to hear what Dvdfromkorea has to say about it! This really sucks! I´m not importing any more editions from Korean websites from now on. It´s such a hassle to return DVD:s and try to get compensation for it.
Gordon: Doesn´t bare bones mean that there will be no significant extramaterial? So it could be a remastered transfer despite the fact that it is a bare bones edition? Personally I don´t care so much about extras, but I want the best A/V quality as possible.
