I may be downtown on Saturday. Where was the shop and have you purchased from them before without problems?

The shop was Kneeland Electronics, on Kneeland St., just down from the bus station. I purchase from them regularly. They seem to have the best selection of HK DVDs in the area. Most of the other Chinatown shops I've been to carry primarily VCDs or porn.

The staff don't speak a whole lot of English, but the old guy who's usually behind the counter knows enough to be able to complete the sale. Never had any problems using my credit card there.

Thanks, I shouldn't have any trouble finding it.

Maybe i will have to check it out whenever i go up there.

Can someone point me in the right direction for a region 0 or 1 Infernal Affairs SE or LE box set? My brother has been raving about this movie (even though he hasn't seen it) and his birthday's coming up...

If anyone has an online retailer or a NYC Chinatown shop they like, that would also be appreciated. My last adventure into Chinatown to get Ong-Bak landed me a PAL DVD (and my TV is NTSC) with really piss-poor incomprehensible English subs. Somewhere where the store clerks speak English would be nice.

Thanks!

Even though the discs say Region 3, it's actually Region 0. I've ordered from these guys before, and it took 2 days priority mail from Ohio to Washington DC.

So you're saying that the message "This is a Region 3 NTSC DVD. Before ordering please make sure your DVD player supports this format. We cannot accept a return due to player incompatibility. Please read this page if you have any DVD player playback questions." is just a scare tactic? Has anyone specifically played this set in a non-hacked Region 1 player?

Nevermind. I just found another thread that confirmed that the IA triolgy will play in R1 players. Read about it here if you've got the same question.

Thanks for the help.

OK, I'm buying this. It is too amazing to pass you up. Damn you DVDTalk members, I was trying to curb my DVD spending habit ;)

If you do order the set, your biggest dilema will be to watch IA 1, IA 2, then IA 3, or to watch IA 2, IA 1, then IA 3, or to watch the edited 5-hour chronological cut of the film.
