Naked Killer by Mei Ah or Megastar - which one to get?

I understand Mei Ah usually sucks, but Megastar is about HK$40 more. Anyone can compare quality-wise? Thanks.

I don't have either disc, but I've heard the Mei Ah version is cut and the Megastar version is uncut. There are a few reviews for these DVDs over at Asian DVD Guide:

Get the Megastar version. It's uncut and the video/audio transfer is better than the other version IMO.

In my experience, whenever there is a Megastar version, it is the superior version to universe or mei ah.

I have/had all three versions (mei ah/megastar/hkl).

If you can play PAL DVDs then HKL is the best

If you can only play U.S. DVDs then Megastar is next best (and for the price $10, it's your best bet. HKL will cost you $20+)

Mei Ah version sucks donkey balls and is only good if you run out of toilet paper in the forest..

Thanks a lot, guys, after careful consideration ( I concluded that Megastar is the way to go regarding quality/price ratio. Thanks again.
