Phil Collins DVD Available For Pre-Order... Sort Of
If you happen to live in Europe or the Middle East, you can now
pre-order the soon-to-be-released Region 2 formatted DVD for Phil
Collins Seriously Hits... Live! from the official Genesis
or Phil Collins sites. Please
note: These sites are NOT offering the Region 1 formatted DVD, so
if you live in North America, this won't help you very much. Once I have
news of a Region 1 pre-order, I will post it here. I'm sure it will
follow shortly...
