Any word of a U.S. release?

Any word of a U.S. release?

No word that I am aware of I am afraid... still, it doesn't surprise me as the bare bones Rude Boy DVD that was released about a year and a half ago in the UK never saw the light of day in the US.

Looks like you need to catch up to the rest of us in the free world and invest in a multi-region DVD player
