Usually Amazon will honor it if not too many people order it before they fix the price... also, even if they don't honor it - they will still sometimes honor it for a few people that got in early. I'm crossing my fingers. Uglyjay - welcome to the forum!

All my Tartan releases are R0 (Ring Trilogy + Dead or Alive). I'd bet my third nut it's PAL (no reason for it not to be since it's coming out of the UK/Europe)

Just make sure that your DVD player has Region 2 encoding and wiil play PAL format DVDs if you want the SE.
I already picked up the NTSC Reg 0 disc for $24.49 from amazon.co.uk. The transfer is 1.85:1 anamorphic and 5.1 DD audio. Very nice, IMO.
cheers, Tony Block

There is an R0 release, so it would be playable on an R1 player.
Since it seems like this thread is about an R2 disc, moving to International Forum.

I am considering buying the 2 Disc SE for $32, but it will be an expensive blind purchase. I am a huge horror fan ie: Evil Dead, Dead Alive, Prowler, etc. I prefer gore to scares. Does this film deliver? It seems some are saying it is tamer than it is hyped to be. The reason for my reluctance, is that I bought Ringu on a risk and was highly disappointed with it. I thought Audition was good, but overhyped. Without getting into a debate about Audition or Ringu, can you guys provide some insight into Battle Royale. How does it compare on the gore level? Not necessarily compared to Ringu or Audition, but to other well known gore-fests?

[off-topic]]</small>Deke, "e.g." translates as "for example" - and it was an example of a long royale thread, by the way - rather than "this is a link to exactly what you are looking for".
The suggestion was that you do a search for "royale": it looks to me that boc4ever did just that and bumped this old relevant thread and for which thoughtful action he wins my applause.<small>[/off-topic]</small>
