No but it's not cheap, that's all I meant.

I paid £28 for Crouching Tiger R3 from Chinatown London

, thankfully I still have it and it's still the definitive DVD (the BD has yet to arrive).

He he no not really. I just adored the film when I saw it and DVD was so young and amazing compared to VHS. If you remember the R3 also came out about 4-6 months before the USA/UK DVDs and that made it extra special too. CTHD was one of my very first DVDs.

I remember discovering Play.com (or Play247.com then) and all R1 DVDs were £17.99 with UK R2 DVDs being £14.99.

That's very disappointing since all their other BD got the original Mono and Surround tracks.

Except Evil Dead 2, that mono track hasn't been seen since Laserdisc.

I suspect we'll be seeing less and less Mono tracks in the HD world.

In the case of Halloween the Stereo and DD5.1 mixes are mostly Mono anyway (a rarity for Anchor Bay). I know no excuse but it's worth mentioning.
