[SteveGon]

Is this the upcoming R1 release or is it being released elsewhere?

 

[Bill McA]

It's the Italian remastered DVD from Raro Video.

 

[SteveGon]

Thanks! Just picked one up on eBay!

 

[MatthewA]

The only one I have is a Chinese travel DVD my dad got when he was in China. I dislike PAL speed-up and don't have a region-free player. There just aren't that many non-R1 discs I want to justify it.

 

[JonZ]

"Eyes Wide Shut (uncensored) (Stanley Kubrick)"

There have been rumors circulating recently that WB is gonna change their Region1 Unrated policy and release EWS uncensored.

 

[Bill Williams]

I've got only one in my collection, that's the Region 0 disc of the Twin Peaks premiere episode. I found that one on eBay about three years ago.

 

[Citizen87645]

My collection is small too (for now):

House of Flying Daggers (R3)
36 Chambers of Shaolin (R3)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More with Feeling (R2)
Hero (R0)

 

[Christopher_P]

Casshern (R2)
End of Evangelion (R2)

If companies keep messing up R1 anime discs though I might have to start just buying less dvd's but higher quality r2's :p
