maybe I'm just way too tired to deal with this right now, but I'm finding it really difficult to cope with translating this site in order to buy a copy of The Driver. Too bad. Anyone have any clues?

Just by the way, that 39kr actually comes to roughly $5.25 US.... AND they apparently also do add some sort of tax (which was an additional 8kr on 39kr, which I know since I actually managed to put a disc in my shopping cart). So are you sure about the free shipping to the states?

The Driver
...ahh...note the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish flags at the bottom of the back cover of the disc... these indicate that the disc provides optional subtitles in one of those four languages...
. . . but . . .
...since this is obviously a 'Scandinavian' release, meant specifically for the 'Scandinavian' market, it probably also means that no matter which language you pick, the corresponding subs will be 'locked' - i.e. you can only watch this disc with one of the four subtitles engaged ... you can not watch it without subtitles...
...probably, that is...

Fellow DooDooers,
of the four "On Air" titles I've bought from DVDDoo :
"A Fistful of Dollars", "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer" "Caligula" and "My Name is Nobody", none have had locked subtitles.
Definitely.
Yours Danishly,
Lik.

The additional 8kr is called "heraf moms" which translates to Value Added Tax or VAT. Any disc shipped out of Europe does not have this added to it. Once you actually complete your transaction that charge is not added in so you only pay the 39kr.

Well.....I got in on this deal.......placed an order for The Driver....so let's see what happens with these guys....(now I have never gotten a disc from Denmark before.....that's for sure).
Now on the issue of with/without VAT.....Last couple of days I had some rather extensive correspondence with Amazon.Fr....and I can assure you that VAT is applied only to goods shipped within the European Union(and a few other island nations that are also on the same Euro list). So, therefore orders to US/Canada should NOT bear any VAT %'s.
I am sure that some of the Euro guys around here could back up my words on this issue.

VAT = Value Added Tax = called TVA (Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée) in France = called MwSt (Mehrwertsteuer) in Germany, etc.
...VAT will be added if a person buys something in the UK, in France, in Germany...
...VAT will be added if a person orders something from the UK, France, Germany - provided that person is a citizen of/lives in one of the EU countries... so, if an Englishman orders DVDs from a German supplier, or if a Frenchman orders DVDs from a UK supplier, or if a Dutchman orders DVDs from a French supplier, or if an Italian orders DVDs from a Spanish supplier, or if a Belgian orders DVDs from an Italian supplier, or if a Spaniard orders DVDs from a Danish supplier, the VAT will (should, ought to) be added to the bill...
...if an English person, a French person, a German person, an Italian person, a Danish person, etc., orders DVDs from Australia, say, or from Hong Kong or from the USA, (s)he may have to pay whatever the local Tax or Duties for any imported goods happens to be in her/his country... usually there is a 'limit' - a set value, which differs from country to country - usually, if the total value of what a person orders abroad stays below this limit (s)he will not have to pay anything - if the value exceeds the limit then the Tax will be applied to the difference...
...I happen to live in Switzerland, a country that is not a member of the EU... so if I order DVDs from, say France, Holland, Italy, Spain, Germany (and I do, I do!) the VAT is not applied, i.e. it is subtracted from the total amount of my bill... then, when the parcel arrives, and if the total value of the goods exceeds the local 'limit', I (may) have to pay local VAT (so far, in Switzerland this is a mere seven-and-a-half percent)... of course, I also have to pay VAT for parcels from, say, Hong Kong or Australia, if their total value exceeds the 'limit'...
...now, as pro-bassoonist correctly says above, "orders to US/Canada* should NOT bear any VAT %'s."
(*or, for that matter, any other country outside the EU)
...simple, yes?...

My orders from dvdoo usually take about 5-7 days to arrive. If your order goes through, you should get an invoice email. They do not send a shipping confirmation email.

as YTSEJAM correctly indicates above....ALL YOU GET IS THE INVOICE/STATEMENT number and the charge posted. No emails....or anything else like that.
How long does it take.....I have never used these guys before....
So, will anyone answer my question....Is the Driver anamorphic or not?
