Re: region 3 dvds?
I buy Region 3 DVD's on a regular basis, usually from CD-WOW (I know they've had problems as of late...orders seem OK! now) every disc I have purchased has included an English audio option with the added bonus of DTS on the odd occasion where the region 1 & 2 does not!!

Never a problem for me and many others so go on reevesy bit the bullet and take a chance the audio options are usually displayed in the disc info on which ever website you choose.

Orders from CDWOW are NOT okay. 
Hundreds of people in Europe are waiting on parcels shipped from late October through mid November.
Guess, the postal strike is the cause of this.
Personally, Iīm waiting on 7 parcels + 7 re-placemenst, which still hasnīt arrived.  |

Re: region 3 dvds?
You can hardly blame Wow for the activities (or, rather, lack of activities) of militant postal workers, which will have applied equally across all suppliers. The PO have admitted that they are clearing the backlog in reverse order, so it seems likely that new orders will be processed in a timely fashion.

Suppose I should count myself lucky...only had delay on '1' dvd...waited for the transfer of the company over to new Australian owners.
Orders OK! with me now apart from UK postal strike.
