Spanish (Region 2) DVDs of new MP, NA, P adaptations
Alert Janeite Carmen let us know that the latest adaptations of Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion either are or shortly will be available in Spain (Region 2). These DVDs contain English and Spanish audio tracks and subtitles. MP is available now, NA and P will be available on February 4.
A 3-pack of the new films also will be available on February 4 that will save some money over buying them separately.
MP: DVDGO - El Corte Inglés
NA: DVDGO - El Corte Inglés
P: DVDGO - El Corte Inglés
Package - DVDGO - El Corte Inglés
El Corte Inglés also has the special edition of P&P05 that comes with a 64-page book; not sure what that could be! A Making-Of type thing, perhaps?

There is also a US Special Edition of P&P05 that contains both the widescreen and fullscreen versions of the movie, the soundtrack, the 64-page companion booklet and the special features that were on the original region 1 release AND those that are on the region 2 release. And it comes in a lovely package too. I got mine at Best Buy the week it came out for $14.99. I don’t see it at Amazon, but at Best Buy it’s now up to $34.99.
Also at Best Buy, is something I’ve never seen before. Here . It’s described as being a documentary that will be released on Feb. 28. It’s only $9.99 so it might be worth looking into. Once we get a better description, that is.

Did you include a link that you wanted us to see, Julie P.? Because I see the “Here” that you put is in different colour, but no link is displayed nor any redirection to another site by clicking.

I tried adding a link. I guess it didn’t work.
Just copy and paste this (it’s very long, and I did try to spare you): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=16357265&productCategoryId=cat02082&type=product&tab=1&id=1798586#productdetail

Thanks Julie P :). This certainly seems a curiosity. There are very few keys, it is advertised as a Documentary and the manufacturer is DVD International (I’ve searched their site and it does not appear there yet). The image at Best Buy does not allow to see much, the title and apparently it says “by Jane Austen”, then the Thompson illustration (colourized) but I cannot figure it out what the characters beside the illustration say. As you say, we should wait for more details.

I’ll keep checking and will report back. I promise.
