Oh hurray, I won a nice war on ebay! The bidding experience of this promo DVD was sooooo scary and my heart almost bumped out at the last few secs.
_______________
Here's the story:
Well at first this item started with fairly good price, and it's quite attractive since it includes 5 versions of GaGa's "Telephone" music video, so I placed my bid with my not-so-high max price. And then there was a point that whether I should cancel it since it's the music video that probably have already. Then I decided to continue and no harm to own this promo anyway, I always love "Telephone" music video.
Few days later a bidder placed his bid but didn't overbid me. It was close so I increased my bid to a bit higher max price. And then the rest of the days are fine, no bids after me... until the last few minutes. Luckily I was tracking the bid, and then I was freaked out when another bidder placed higher bid than me. It was like 2 minutes before the auction ends. And then I quickly placed few more bids until my still-not-so-high max price. Later the bidder placed another bids, very very close to my max price.
I was so scared and hold my breath during the last few seconds - thanks to the stupid slow internet speed - and almost felt hopeless from winning it. Until I saw a green message on the page that stated I'm the winner of the bid.
HURRAY! Guess what, the winning bid for this item was only AUD$19.50 (excluding postage).
Surprisingly, all the videos in this disc are not in good quality, despite it's a DVD!
I was expecting it should be in great video quality since it's an official Aussie promo DVD.
Oh well, the good thing is that the disc includes five music videos: including three 'blurred' version which I never knew it exist! Apparantly those videos blurred out all the product/brand names in the commercial-music-video.

So yeah. That's another Go GaGa story! :)
Apparantly it was a month ago. I'll try to post up some photos to facebook soon.
Oh yes, this is my 9th The Twins Effect DVD - The Netherlands version.
The main menu is just a simple image with no animation and sound effect...
...the scene selection as well.
The only special feature in this DVD is the trailers of few movies.
This DVD comes with English dubbed audio, in Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS.
Despite lack of special features, the good thing about this DVD is the sharp and good video quality, as well as dubbed audio for those who prefer English than the film's original language. 
*Duration: 105 minutes ll Disc size: DVD-9*
This scene comes after Reeve explained the rules of vampire slayer to Gypsy in his house.
This scene comes after Helen and Gypsy had a super-fight on the roof.
Well this scene appears in all versions, however this version is redubbed with different dialogue (Helen's ending dialogue, from "In this world, there are still vampires. But now there are three more vampire hunters: One is me, one is the half human half vampire sister-in-law, and the other one is the emotional vampire" to "One is me, one is my 'vampire' sister-in-law, and the other one, you know who..").
For your info:
Isn't it interesting that this movie has various DVD or poster design, and this UK (and Australia) version has red background design. Besides, this single DVD includes fairly great special features with total 88 minutes of extras! Definately one of the best in this movie DVD series.

Received this Hong Kong 2 Disc version along with the Thai version last night.
Well I didn't know that this 'special' version exist as I thought it's just a standard second press with alternate cardboard slipcase (the first press comes with shiny silver cover)... until I saw a special photo on the internet, then I went to search on ebay, found it, and read the sticker label carefully for the first time. My shiny silver cover version doesn't have it. lol.
What's so special besides the slipcase?
