COUNTDOWN: 3 DAYS TO SERENITY R2 DVD

It's here! And yet, it's not.

On a recommendation, I ordered a Region 2&4 edition of Serenity from cd-wow and it finally arrived yesterday. Yay! I was able to watch the BDM for the first time since October and it ROCKED. Also watched the outtakes (LMFAO) and the deleted scenes, and the R2&4 documentary 'A Filmmaker's Journey'. US 'Coats, if you don't have this yet, you need it in your life!

And so we come to the problem: Disc 2, with all its exclusive Jossy goodness, won't play. It's meant to be Region 2&4, and thus compatible with my UK R2 player, but no joy. I checked its region coding on my PC and it came up R4 only. Ruttin' hell!

Anyone else had this problem?

Anyway, I called the good folks at cd-wow first thing this morning, and they've dispatched another copy to me in the hope that this is a one-off error. Should take about a week, so now the waiting begins. In the meantime, I'll be picking up my UK edition on Monday. It's not all doom and gloom!
