Best overall deal for R4 Back to the Future?
 
Never ordered a different region DVD before so I thought I'd ask.

What's the best deal for the BTTF set, including shipping? Who's most reliable? DVDCrave seems to have the lowest overall price, coming in under $30US. Any ideas?

I got mine from CDWow for $25.95 shipped and so can you as the deal is still good! :)

I see $ signs next to the price even though they are a UK based company. Is that US$? A little confusing.

Is the R4 release the exact same as the R1?

You can save an extra $1 at CDWOW by going through this link:

Works even if you don't have a mastercard (I used a visa).

No it isn't. Apparently there are some "recently discovered" deleted scenes, an additional documentary and commentary on the R1 release due in December. However, it still hasn't been announced whether the additional features will only be available via Total Axxess web link. I ordered my R4 from CD Wow, and have had a good experience with them in the past...

I also ordered from CDWOW; I'm not much interested in those deleted scenes as long as the a/v quality is the same. Plus there's no way the R1 will sell for $24.95

There are two versions of their site

UK: www.cdwow.com prices in British Pounds
US: www.cdwow.net prices in U.S. Dollars

Has anyone had their BTTF order ship from CDWOW? How long does their shipping take to get to the US?

The release date is listed as 8/25, and I still have an "awaiting shipment" status. I have no experience with pre-orders, but I did order a Roger Waters CD that was in stock, and it took less than a week to arrive after placing the order. I thought the shipping seemed very fast to me, but then my buddy ordered the same item, and it took longer than a week to arrive for him...

Mine shipped from CDWow on Friday, should have it tomorrow. I'm not in that big of a rush though as I won't have a chance to actually view them until this weekend. ;)

DTS 5.1 sound is now exclusive to the international releases. According to Bob Gale at the BTTF website, they had to drop the DTS track for the US domestic release because of the extra material they intend to use.

zerotl 08-22-02 10:41 PM

I was hesitating if I was gonna get the R4 or wait 3 Months for the R1 but then DTS exclusive??? I'm there, just ordered through cdwow, $25? YOu can't beat that, plus how many times am I really gonna watch the extras???

livewiretoo 08-23-02 02:20 AM

The BTTF Region 4 DTS on my Malata n996 does suffer from dropouts. They aren't as bad prior after installing the November 9 upgrade, but there still are dropouts.
