I was just looking on an Australian DVD retailers website and found this..

http://www.ezydvd.co...item.zml/787334

While it doesn't give too many details about release date etc. At least it's coming...

Agreed. Good it see it's at least on it's way.

I'm guessing a Nov-Dec release, to coincide with Casino Royale.

(EDIT: Topic moved to Australia forum)

Interesting. The US $ is strong in Australia so, ordering this from Australia would definitely be cheaper than ordering it from the UK, unless it is offered in the US.

According to the EzyDVD site, there are going to be two different cases to choose from.

The Attache case that we've already seen - $AU399.83
http://www.ezydvd.co...item.zml/787334

and an alternative "hard case" - $AU299.83
http://www.ezydvd.co...item.zml/787455

$299 is a very decent price for those who don't care about the attache case and just want the DVDs (hell, the Special Editions were $350!).

True, but in the UK they could get them for even less by buying from Australia ( AU$1 is about .45 pounds)

Cheaper then I expected (by about $50) they're on my Christmas list.

Thing is, our DVDs probably won't play on your DVD players.

Admittedly though, I am finding the 'Hard Case' more appealing then the Attache Case. ($100 and 85 cents cheaper too)

There are those (like me) who are resigned to getting both versions.

Because it's Bond and it's there.

What happened to that rather flash cascading 'Jukebox' style case that was advertised many months ago?.

This case is almost the same as I can purchase from HMV right now. (although I have the contents already).

Wouldn't it be fun if the US didn't get them at all :tup:

They'll probably have them out on November 17th.

At least it is compensation for us getting CR 27 days after most of the rest :D

Thank goodness for region-free DVD players. :D

I would be surprised if the US gets the attache case. The US after all didn't get the special case deal that the special editions came in. I suspect that the change in distributor for MGM Home Emtertainment is causing a delay.

Still can't find any info about if the R4 versions will be available for sale as 'singles'. Anyone know if this is a possibility?

Haha, one day of housework and it instantly becomes a 'reward' :)

Anyway, anyone else notice how they're not coming till the 16th now. As opposed to the 12th?

Fortunately I have Wednesday off school anyway.

Yup. Wednesday.

Pre-order at JB HiFi and you get a free poker set. Or pre-order at EzyDVD and I think you get a free 007 pocket knife.

Anyone see the Sunrise competition this morning?

Major prize is the attache case, along with 2 days in Paris, 4 in Nice, and 4 in Monacco (Monte Carlo) including 4 day rental of a convertable in Monte Carlo, some tour in Nice and a cabaret show at the Monte Carlo Casino.

Daily Prizes are DVD boxsets of the new DVDs, unsure whether they're the attache case or the hard case. Though boxsets imply the latter.

I'm entering, in the rare case that I win I can always return my boxset. (I think?)
