Korean (R3) DVD question (ntsc???)
Hey all,
I just found a site that is selling R3 Korean DVD's. Under specifics, it says that it's widescreen 16:9, NTSC. Does this mean there will be no PAL speed up? Is this something that happens with all Korean DVD's? I thought the US was the only place that used NTSC.

I'm not sure specifically about Korea, but supposedly Hong Kong uses PAL for its television broadcasts and NTSC for home video. Every Hong Kong disc I've ever purchased has been NTSC.
Could be the same situation, or similar.
Japan (region 2) is an entirely NTSC country.

Keep in mind that Koreandvds.com is located in Korea (I would assume) so shipping is not from the US.
I suggest DVDAsian.com
Now if only they had a preorder or even a release calendar. I hate having to be 'surprised' by a new release on their site.

And as i've stated before...i'm not looking for films that originate from other countries. I'm only looking for American films that get better releases.
DVDasian doesn't stock any american films as far as I can tell ;(
Thanks anyway...
