@Lenny Nero ... and these :

I wasn't buying every edition just for the hell of it, it was a natural progression.
First the regular DVD, then the 'Superbit' one (both barebones - US didn't have any special features for a few years), then I found out there's loads of featurettes on European releases, and bought German and UK 2-disc SEs, as they both had some exclusives.
Then the US finally got an SE DVD with even more extras, so got that.
Then Germany re-released its 2-disc in a steelbook, so got that.
Then the first BD came out, which was just an amaray. Then a Dutch Metalpak.
Afterwards all the other premiums and LEs for packaging only at that point.
But I never buy amarays just because it's from another country, or something.

By the way, ESC Distribution is not a reliable company in the sense that they do not take any responsibility if something goes wrong with their products. I contacted them several times because the Prestige Edition arrived with a damage while the shipping box was in perfect shape. But there was no answer at all. Extremen bad, well, non-existent custoner service. Shame on them.

Paid with PayPal or credit card? Claim...

 

[Jamon-Jamon]

Paid with PayPal but for the time when it was released and shipped the time to fill a claim was over. I gave it a try and PayPal replied with that.

Personally, I never pre-order from esc-distribution because payment is taken upon ordering. Now I have other reasons to continue like this.
