*Re-Post after no response in DVD Bargain Forum - Sorry *
European DVD releases in Holland, Spain etc., etc. always seem to get the superior DTS soundtracks whilst the UK is lumbered with DD5.1 and a few pointless extras on the disc like 'Photo art' instead.
Damn it winds me up!
I've been looking forward to the UK DVD release of 'the Orphanage' for a while now as it's DTS track has been quite critically acclaimed, things were looking good as the spanish rg 2 release was in DTS so I assumed that the UK would be the same, but, how wrong I was... Yet again the UK's been short changed with an inferior DD5.1 track on both editions of the release.
*EDIT* Sorry I don't mean to aggrovate a 'DTS vs. DD' debate as both formats have pro's and con's, just my personal experience leans towards DTS.(not just because it's 'Louder' either)
I could unlock my DVD player and purchase region 1 discs but this would mean I'd have to buy a one-for-all remote and follow a lengthy unlock procedure, which I am yet to do, plus it means fiddling with the service menu of the machine which scares me a little...
So in the meantime can anyone help? The only outlets I've found are a dutch site called 'Free record shop' but they are yet to stock the Orphanage, and CDWOW is only showing the UK region 2 edition of the disc anyone know of any other overseas outlets that will ship to the UK? They don't have to have the orphanage in stock, I'd just like to get a list of shops I could potentially use in the future.
Cheers everyone!
