Thanks for doing the summary. I never really look at the DVD Calender, if it's not in my RSS feed, I generally don't see it, so this will solve that problem.

According to Romain Le Vern of the French site DVDrama, the release date for the R3K Sympathy for Lady Vengeance ia the 20th of December.The 2-disc set will consist of two versions: the 1st will be in color and the 2nd with the picture gradually passing from color to b w. The Korean DVD will feature Dolby Digital 2.0 and Dolby Digital 5.
1 (solely for the color version), while the 2nd disc (the color to b w version) will boast a DTS 5.1 soundtrack.
As usual, the DVD will be outfitted with English subtitles.
As my French is not perfect, esp. re: special features jargon, it is possible that i have translated a few things incorrectly. But Mr Le Vern, a native French speaker, has mispelled "Korea", and gives the release date for the R3K DVD as 20 December 2006 [sic]

Yep, 20 December is most likely the release date.It's reported by X too, and dvdfromkorea.com also lists it for that date. It's just that for the calendar I used December 30th because that's what it says on the YesAsia page, which the link goes to.
They'll probably change it to the 20th soon.

Rental for Duelist will be out on December 21. Super Duper version in January.
There might be a Limited Edition for Dongmakgol, coming out roughly the same day as the normal edition. Still no details, but should be limited to 500/1000 copies. Might have a OST CD, but I doubt there'll be more discs.
Park's revenge trilogy was pushed to February/March.
The DVDRama specs are taken from Korean etailers, so yes. They're right.
Release date for those might change, but all out before the 23rd.
BTW..
. if he wrote 'Coree' (sorry, too lazy to turn on European coding to add the accent ^_^), it's the correct spelling, in French. And lots of people in Korea actually use Corea, so if that's what he wrote, it's not a mistake, technically.

OK, confirmed details for Limited Edition of Dongmakgol:Same exact 2 DVD, plus OST and random signed copies. Package will of course be a little different (digipack probably. Will post pictures when I get them).
Limited to 5,000 sets. Releases on 22nd just like the normal edition, and only costs 5K Won retail more, so you'll see pretty quickly if your store of choice is overpricing.

I'm kind of miffed about the non-special edition release of Eraserhead.
I mean, it is awesome. My only complaint is that a month ago I bought the special edition. At that ridiculous price.
For only a frickin' box.
I would've loved to get my hands on this newest release, skipping over the special edition, but fate has other things in mind, I guess . .

I myself am really looking forward to the dvd release of the Japanese movie "Peep 'tv' Show". Midnight Eye only has a Japanese release on their DVD checklist but I just found out the Facets Multimedia are releasing this underground movie too!
I have seen this movie at the 2004 International Film Festival Rotterdam where it won the Fipresci prize and I thought it was great. But it didn't get a lot of media attention and the public opinion wasn't great either..
. I guess because it's a small depressing movie made with a lot of punk attitude. Some Twitch fans might like it very much though.
And there is a lot more stuff coming from Facets as well: An Artaud documentary, a new Sokurov disc...
lots of interesting stuff.

Facets puts out a lot of interesting films but unfortunately their transfers can pretty awful...I'm looking forward to End of August at the Hotel Ozone anyway, though
