Pretty strange.

I think we followed this about as well w/o subs as we would have if we had had them. ;~}

I think you guys are talking about two different discs. Dadaistnun linked the r3hk disc - which has english (and chinese) subs - but incorrectly claimed it was "region 2". The r2jp disc, as kerpan notes, has no subs of any kind.

I didn't look at the linked item. just saw the R2 reference. I suspect the cheaper (and subtitled) R3 is a better bet for most folks here. The R2 does look pretty nice though.

Sorry about the confusion; I'd just been looking at something else that was in fact r2.

I suppose the confusion -- and subsequent order cancellation! -- could've been avoided if I'd gone with my initial thought and simply asked if Michael was sure it was the R3 copy he was talking about.

Ah well, I just reordered from another vendor (so as not to give Yesasia even more of a headache) where it was even cheaper and actually found some other things to pick up as well. No worries!

I just wish I had realized that a subbed R3 was coming out at the same time as an unsubbed R2 (which I could have sworn WAS supposed to be subbed at one point).

Thanks, Michael. Those are helping me cope with my copy not having come in yet.

For the sake of completeness, there's an R1 DVD of this out now.

Has anyone seen the Lionsgate disc? Looks like they actually threw in a few extras, including "two alternate endings" (?!) that I'm a bit curious about.
