That's weird that it would be on DVD in the UK when its still in the theaters here, odd.
Not really, considering it is a british import. Much the same way that our movies tend to be out on dvd in the US either before or at the same time they hit other countries, movies like 28 days later, Shaolin Soccer (which we also on on dvd) and Johnny English (not yet) are often available in their own countries on dvd before they hit the US market. The disks are coded for their own region though. Which is why UK dvds and Japanese dvds won't play in US machines. Shadow picked up a region free player though, and that will play any region and not just the US, so we don't have to wait for the foriegn dvds to hit the us market before we buy them. We do run the risk of picking up movies with interesting engrish for subtitles. (shaolin soccer is a perfect example of that)
