Any suggestions? Keep in mind that I’d prefer it with an NTSC DVD and no Spanish replacement songs. Amazon.com is taking pre-orders for $104.49 with an October 18 ship date but it’s with a PAL/Region 0 DVD. Lord knows it will never be released here.

Sorry, forgot to answer your question after all that! If you do decide to order a version with a PAL DVD, I would really recommend Skivhugget (http://www.skivhugget.com) - they give non-EU customers a 20% VAT discount (which means you pretty much get free shipping), have online ordering, and are really fast and reliable with delivery. I’ve ordered from them for years and never once had a problem.

I think Argentina uses PAL system.
By the way, I buy from Skivhugget since years and never got a discount :S
Bengans is cheaper then them. Both are reliable.

In Argentina the TV system is PAL, but the commercial DVD’s are NTSC. They should be PAL too, like were the VHS tapes in the 90’s, I don’t know why they changed it.

My DVD player will play PAL DVDs, that’s not a problem. But unless you have a PAL TV (which no one in the US does) it does you no good. Argentina sounds like an option but I read somewhere here that Breathe will be replaced with one of Roxette’s Spanish songs and I’d prefer not to have that.

I’ve placed my Pre-Order for the RoxBox from http://www.cduniverse.com
I’ve ordered from here countless times before and got my order every time. You can order the PAL version for $82.29 and the NTSC version for $71.75 plus shipping and handling.
You can also get “A Collection of Roxette Hits” for $14.14 if you’re interested.

Apparently it’s going to be released in Argentina, with an NTSC DVD... but I don’t know how we can get our hands on that. Are you sure your DVD player won’t play PAL DVDs? My old $300 Toshiba wouldn’t but the new no-name brand one I won in a contest, which retails for under $50, plays PAL DVDs with no problem at all!
