thanks for pointing that out Eric, thats a smokin' price on Gattaca if its not region encoded. Specially up north of the border where they want 30 bucks for the thing. Now if only I knew that before buying all my other Superbits.
in terms of picture quality, it's a sure thing. In terms of sound I'd say better or at least equal. Check out those reviews. Japan, Korea and Hong Kong are really fantastic places for High End and specillay DTS enthusiasts.
