RE: this is a first...

So order from Amazon with Region 1 (strange how the US is always "1"
isn't

Heck, I ordered Dog Soldiers from Amazon.uk and got it in a week, and I
doubt it will EVER be released in Japan ('Course, it is in a foreign
language - certainly not either English or Japanese - haven't quite
figured
out what language it actually is...)
