Wow, 228 replies... Maybe part 5 should be started?

Thanks, as always, Pro-B! I've never ordered from a Danish site, but if I'm doing the currency conversion correctly to $35.00US, it's a bit pricey for me. I so loved Bier's "Open Hearts" and wanted to see this. . .

Liz,

This is a price that includes a 25% Danish VAT. After the VAT is removed (and you will be charged for shipping) the price should come down to around 28$.

Note: If you find a few DVDs that you need and total a order of 500DK the shipping to the States will be free.

Regards,
Pro-B

It is Oseam...

When I recieved "M" (R2 Eureka) yesterday it was a 2 disc set (but a single case). The first disc sits on top of a "tray" or something, the second inside the case holder underneath it.
Whats annoying is when I put Disc 1 back in its tray, just putting it securely in is enough for the 2nd disc to come "slightly" (but not completely) loose.. huh? In other words putting/pressing the first disc securely on its' platter makes an impression on the "push here" bit where the second disc is when it shouldnt really...
Hope it doesnt get damaged or anything (looks fine ATM though).

The seller guarantee's it's a genuine shrinkwrapped copy. He had good feedback so we shall see.

I have to quit reading this forum. You guys are spending my money way too fast, lol.

After slacking into 3 or so years of primarily "big explosion, go boom" mind-numbing Hollywood muck, I've rediscovered non-R1 titles. Many thanks for DVDtalk's vast international knowledge!

Alive (R1, Tokyo Shock)
Battle Royale (Tartan NTSC 5.1-- and watched it 4x already!)
Battle Royale: Director's Cut (R0, Starmax)

I've also replaced my Norcent 501 (Liteon LVD2001 clone) with a Momitsu 880 DX, which has behaved *so* much better than my Norcent (and the Liteon before it).

That looks like a bootleg to me.

Nope, Redsun release.. Why would the seller give a UPC code if it was a bootleg?

Watched it last night on the 51" Sony Wega HD and it was great 16:9 Anamorphic transfer and the 5.1 was solid also. All of the extras were pretty good. Overall a good DVD release from Redsun.

Actually most if not all RedSun releases are bootlegs. As far as I know besides the HK VCD, Ong Bak doesn't have a release with english subs.

Having a UPC code doesn't automatically classify itself as a legit release. You'd be surprised on the high quality bootleg DVDs people are making these days, they are basically high quality scans of the covers and burns of the original releases.

If bootlegs don't bother you, then by all means buy away. We can't tell you what to do, but we could inform you what is legit and what is not.

from KoreanDVDs:

- Phantom of the Opera (DTS)
- Les Miserables: Dream Cast (DTS)
- The Wall: Live from Berlin (DTS) (for $5.29)

Well if it is, it is at this point lol. I wasn't out looking for a bootleg but either way I hadn't heard an announcement for a U.S. release DVD so I spent the $8 and got it. The picture quality was great and the 5.1 was good so $8 spent on a cool flick until we get an official release I guess.
