Any issues? I know the HD should be fine, and I assume if it is a combo, that it has a PAL SD side. Am I correct? It seems Ezy has some great deals.

there is not a whole lot of combo's in Oz most are just straight HD DVD's most of the stuff that was released in the states as a combo is not a combo release here.

yep spot on. I have only ever gotten maybe 1 or 2 combos locally here in OZ out of a LOT of titles sourced locally

not that i've seen. I guess in australia we are too busy boxing kangaroos and catching crocodiles to use computers :-)

Any (Warner) COMBO in Oz is the US R1 NTSC version. Otherwise all European releases.

When we are boxing crocodiles and catching kangaroos we tend to use our laptops to make sure we don't miss out on the sales...

I have a few combos and they are all R1 versions sourced locally. My Smokin Aces is R1 - NTSC bought locally...

Only Smokin Aces is a COMBO. Rest aren't. The SD side will be in PAL and NOT NTSC.
star trek season 1 is a combo

One thing to note - a lot of Aussie releases use full size DVD case, not the nice slim ones you get in the USA.

You are wrong. The AUS/U.K HD DVDs mostly come in 14 mm thick Amaray case and it has no resemblance whatsoever with regular DVD case.
