Anybody Own The Ronin UK BD??
Xploited has this and I would love to have this in my collection, but its a bit pricey at $44.95

Is there a planned US release of this?
Is it worth the price? Is the picture quality good? Sound? Looks like there are no extras which is a shitter.

I imported it back in December because the US release got cancelled but I would just wait and save $20 if the release date is soon.
US release will be the exact same disc PQ, AQ and extras wise.

I'm a sucker for getting import BD releases and spending more money instead of being patient, knowing that those titles will be released in the US eventually (namely Starship Troopers).
I also got the Ronin Japan version fm Xploited Cinema. Not complaining a lot as I liked the film and though not an authority in PQ/AQ, I personally thought the quality was great.

The last I had heard was it was suppose to be annouced for release in conjunction with Father's Day promotion....but I have yet to see anything from retailers or promos that says that information is accurate.

I placed an order with Amazon UK for this title. Since we hadn't seen a US annoucement...decided not to wait (hoping) 
Since I was ordering a couple other r2 titles too (Mother of Tears and Run, Fat Boy, Run)...it was cheaper vs buying those same titles from Tony (sorry Tony).
Net delivered equaled $77. Backing out the other two titles..Ronin alone shipped would have been appox. $32 (minus VAT) + $10 shipping....spreading that shipping cost of $10 over three items made more sense placing the order with Amazon.
