I tried to find it...but nothing.

I did post a link to the CDwow Superbit Thread....which answers the same type of questions.


.....and for the last time These Superbit DVDs are not boots!

They are the real deal.

Bah! Nothing I can use, again...

I orderd from these guys last time (and have ordered a few other times from them) and the Superbits are not bootlegs. They come in the slip cover and all that jazz too. I love my Black Hawk Down Superbit Deluxe .

I guess I'll give this one a bump...since it's still a good deal

Unless you included Spider-Man in a certain Best Buy B&M deal

Looks like Kdvds added a few new titles to their Superbit firesale.

Bad Boys II
The Guns Of Navarone
Punch Drunk Love
S.W.A.T.
Tears of the Sun

I had no idea Tears of the Sun was scheduled to have a Superbit release.

Here's a thread about a koreandvds Superbit sale from February, with posts up through June. Not sure it's the one you were referring to, but it does have a lot of info (237 replies!)...

That's the one.... much thanks.

Being released in the UK so I can see why it is in Korea.

... but no US release ???

I ordered in October from koreandvds.com and have not received anything. Their CS haven't responded to me, either. It's a shame too because their prices are great and I had one successful order from them before. I have since disputed the charge on my credit card. It's either their deal or the US postal service. If you order, pay extra for EMS. Regular air mail worked for me before and should have this time since I live in Los Angeles. It should have been from port to port. People shouldn't have to pay more to make sure they receive their orders.

Did you contact the owner via msn instant messenger? Maybe he can clear it up.

I believe after 40 days, they consider it "LOST" and should be able to reissue another.

I know it's rare, but there's been one instance where it's taken almost 30 days for a package from Hong Kong to arrive at my doorstep (via airmail).

Just there and Korea....

Also, here is the upated list of dvds from around the world with links. Newer Superbits listed. Also HK version Superbits are even cheaper at Koreandvds.com than the Korean versions).

Damn... I'm really surpised that this thread has been kinda quiet.

Well, I screwed up somewhere. I registered then sent myself the 25% off coupon. It won't let me use it. I guess because I'm already a registered user. So, I tried signing my wife up to use the 25% off, but I can't even get past the registration part. A little pop up comes up each time that says "your information is wrong" (or something to that effect), but it doesn't tell me what's wrong and erases everything each time. Maybe it notices the address or phone or something is already for a registered user.

How do I get a 25% off couoon that I can use?

Finally got it to work. Thanks OP.



Stew

"WE" ARE SURE THEY ARE NOT BOOTLEGS. If you can't accept what others have said (several times prior to your post) as their experience with their site, then don't take advantage of their sale.

Does this coupon work on all dvds on the site or just the superbits?

All dvds!

What korean writing is on the spine? One the spine of the superbit outer sleeve?

I didn't think these dvds had any Korean text on the covers.

....but then... does it really matter????

I'm normally just concerned with the content of the disc.

Exactly!

Still wish they took paypal like other sites (ie: dvdfromasia, yesasia and others)

You can send a coupon to you but can't use it on your order. Just go to their forum and read about the coupon and there you will find a code you can use on your order. That's how I found mine.

It's perhaps the negativity of the deal and their methods.

1. No one wants to be charged before item ships. (Not even me)
2. Mixed feelings about the time it takes to receive something from them.
3. Asia + dvd's = Bootleg / I know what many are you saying
( THEY ARE NOT BOOTLEGS )
4. The coupon is not working for many and we can't post it here
So where is the deal if you can't use a coupon!?

The deal seems decent but I don't really like much for reasons above.

I think it falls into the category of the uninitiated into the world of non-region 1 dvd's, which I can understand. Those that don't buy Non-R1 or visit the Int'l DVD Forum, don't realize that many of the members within this thread are the "experts" in international dvd's and retailers...Bill and Candyrocket being two of them.

These Superbits are studio released by Sony for the Korean market. The retailer in this thread is a legitimate retailer that many of us within this thread have bought from many times before...just like DDD here in the states.

Though it's hard for me to understand why a bilingual cover makes a difference, other than for trading in movies to a retailer...it's your money, so all reasons are legit.

I encourage everyone here to buy a code free dvd player (they can be had for $50) and enjoy the world of non-region 1 studio releases. There are some terrific films from all markets that will never make it to the US theaters or dvd.

Also, many of the Japanese releases are superior in sound and picture to their region 1 counterparts ("Hero" being a good example).

Do you have to proceed with caution? Sure, just like with some US retailers. I have bought over 70 non-region 1 DVD's in the last year and never had a bad experience from the retailer or quality of the DVD (all studio releases). Just like in the US, you cultivate a list of retailers that you enjoy doing business with and offer fair and sometimes great prices. Visit the Int'l Forum and see what we are talking about.
