the rental-only (UNF*CKINGFORTUNATELY!) R2 UK DVD of the masterpiece that is Memento is due out on Monday (April 30th) but i have yet to see any specifications for it, all i know is that it's being released by Fox Pathé.. anyone know what this disc will feature?
also, anyone know how long the UK rental-only window is? how long will we have to wait to get our dirty little paws on our own version of this disc?!

Count me in as wanting to import this puppy as well.

only in the UK and i only think it's one company that does it, and it seems like Memento is one of their releases.. this article on DVD Debate is the only info i know.. no specs, no nothing and it's due out to the rental market on monday... weird.

the article says 3 months of waiting for a retail copy.. the only online store i've found that even had it in their database was blackstar.co.uk and they wanted £71 for it.. regular prices are around £15-20.
oh well..

finally some news!
i saw a thread on the UK DVD Debate site and there they said the Blockbuster barebones DVD rental of the movie is 2.35:1 anamorphic and has DD 5.1 - they also said the picture was "pristine" so that sounds good.
one guy said the last thing he heard about a retail release was OCTOBER but it sounds a little far away considering it's already out on rental. 2-3 months maybe but October? that's like 5 months away.. 5 month rental "window" sounds alot for a title like this (it flopped at the UK boxoffice).
i'm still hoping for june/july.. Christopher Nolan said he was involved with making the DVD so hopefully we'll get audio commentary and stuff like that.
