You act as if people who buy other regions aren't aware of there being audio as well. Other regions seem to get DTS more often than we do...one of the biggest reasons why I went region free to begin with. There is no downside to it.

I'm not acting like that at all. And I never said there's a downside to going region-free at all. I was simply defending the fact that not all R1 releases are bad. As I said, "people are more interested in the best video nowadays anyway", and I stick to that comment. In the post I quoted from splattii, he mentions the R1 release is awful, but only mentions the video.

...and it's debatable (as you know) whether DTS qualifies a release as good audio. It's all about how the a/v is mastered.

So where do you guys buy other region dvds from??

True. It's being re-released as a 'directors cut' in hopes I will upgrade.

Wait 3 months get the R1 version from CH as an enrollment. Then right after the R1 SE is announced sell the regular version and make a little profit. You get the movie shortly after its out and then you can get the SE later on, a win-win situation
