I'm Not There: Europe ignored again?

The DVD of I'm Not There was released in the USA yesterday; the two disc Collector’s Edition, packed with extras, looks particularly desirable.

But the European (inc UK) release isn’t due for ages (14 July if you can believe the retailers). And it looks like we’ll only be offered the single DVD version, without the extras.

Europe ignored again?

Sony is slipping up here. There was similar issue for European DVD consumers last year with the wonderful Don’t Look Back box: securing a Region 2 copy at a reasonable price was hassle-laden.

These are great products. I normally have a high regard for Columbia, but these DVD issues are irritating: I might just embark on my own one-man buyer’s strike.
