Are you meaning R1 only? I think I originally bought the UK release (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Female-Convict-Scorpion-Jailhouse-DVD/dp/B000M2EIK4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1286087299&sr=8-3) after reading a twitch post about it...OOP now...but there's a trilogy box already out since last year: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Female-Prisoner-Scorpion-Trilogy-DVD/dp/B001S8J572/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1286087299&sr=8-1
Can't say I was a huge fan, but I think I made back my investment through ebay. ymmv
