I had a look at the German DVD (opening fight in the tea house) and it looks quite nice, the colours are more muted and natural looking than the HKL (transfer seems darker?), subtitles seem fine, the English dub is the same old school one the HKL has.
There are some other trailers for HK films (Prodigal Son, Magnificent Butcher, Iron Fisted Monk etc) on the disc.

He means that you post something when you order it, and again once you've received it ;)

Anyway, I picked up a new fragrance yesterday: Nikos Sculpture. Fell in love with it as soon as I smelled it, so I had to have it.

My girlfriend snores as well at times, and quite loudly... but somehow it has never really bothered me...

They always give a delayed release date. In the majority of cases you will get it before then. Sometimes weeks before. If you haven't received it BY the due date that's when you should contact them.
Casino Royale Deluxe BR
Which edition? Dutch?

Nope, the UK edition, which is slightly cut, so that sucks.... but as far as Im informed it's only a few seconds of a rope going around Bond's neck. It's less than 6 pounds for a 2-disc BR, while the dutch version is often more than 20 euro and hard to find.

I don't like buying a cut release, but in this case, with such minimal cuts and such a big price-difference, I'll make an exception.
