    17 minutes of deleted scenes versus the reported 10 minutes before! Maybe we’ll get more of Snape’s Worst Memory after all…

    But let me get this straight. So the UK gets it Nov. 12 and the US Dec. 11…that’s a whole month’s difference!

    Can someone please explain to me why Americans must wait a month longer than the British in order to obtain the DVD? I am not upset that we must do so here in the states, but I do find it a peculiar move on the part of Warner Brothers Home Video, a company that should be smart enough to realize how much this decision will disappoint American fans.

    No offence, but I don’t think Americans should complain about the 1 month delay. How often do you guys get movies there FIRST as compared to the rest of the world? Maybe it’s a December release because it’s so close to Xmas and therefore they will probably get a HUGE amount of sales. The British deserve to have the DVD first – it IS a British film, after all. Australia probably won’t get it until after the U.S. either, but I don’t know for sure.

    Excellent!

    It’s about time we Brits got some film related stuff before the US… particularly when it’s a (sort of) a British film :P

    Oh, come on, folks. The Brits deserve one first. We’re just envious – but we’ll all have it soon enough! Cheers!

    Is it just me or is this one much more expensive than the past four? Not that I’m complaining. I’m soooo excited, especially since it’s being released just two days before my birthday!

    Dang, we gotta wait a month? Well, I guess it’s only fair since we here in the US got the movie in theatres a day before the UK :p
