does any one know why we dont get a special features disc in europe with box sets?
were paying more money for it anyway.
is this a common practice?

will i go to hell for downloading the special features disc from some online place or do you think Im right to do this?

Play.com might just not have listed the features. And amazon tend to be very detailed.
Ye youl probably burn in bit torrent hell for all eternity for a few outtakes and a Chris Meloni profile!!!

i have the set.
theres no extras.
seems pointless to exclude them as only fans will buy the box set.

all i would like to know is whether euro box sets generally dont get any extra features.

Come on, why do you think us europeans get screwed over when buying box sets of US tv shows with respect to special features?, because we're 2nd class customers, we'll be happy to buy the boxset sans special features and then eighteen months buy another version that the US got in the first place!, we're made of money here in the old countries!. Cynical marketing and cashing in on us Euro-types.

On a side note, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit... jesus

Is real life not depressing enough for ya?

Anytime I see it on RTÉ it features rape/incest/molestation, real easy going sunshine stuff!

subway

im not going to buy it again,
ill just source the missing disc elsewhere

Get a Region Free player or crack your current player then buy off amazon.com or playusa.com etc... and that way you get the extras you want.
