Both movies work flawlessly on many BD players include the PS3.
You Euro folks could get all the same content as the US at the same time if you would all just adopt US English as your language. Seriously!

The reason why PS store lags the US store is the translations issues.
If you Europeans would just all speak one language with one currency then you might get content at the same time as the USA.

The USA is one unified market of 300 million people, with one currency, it is easier, faster, and more profitable to roll a product out to the US market.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
