I think he realizes that, Despair.

BTW, 4 discs for the original? That's insane, but very cool.

I wonder what changes were made to the European version to warrant its own disc.

Oops, Sorry my mistake.

I just watched my Uncut Dawn of the Dead R3 DVD. All I can say is WOW! The extras are awesome, especially the Diary of Andy. Andy is more bad ass than I thought. The DVD is perfect quality, everything is in english and it was only like 23 dollars after shipping! Here is where you can get it:

If you have a region free DVD player you should pick this up!

Is that a legit release? If so why did they get it before us?

The European cut is more talk, and less action. Also it has a more serious and less comic-booky tone than the other cuts and it includes more music from the Itallian rock band Goblin (who have worked on almost all of Dario Argento's films).

They often do get official releases of western movies months before they are released in US.

R3 version has exaclty the same extras and specials as R1 version will have when released next month.

They really need to work on simulatanious world releases. This "you wait 1 month, you suckers wait 3 months more than that" is bullshit.
