No, not really. It was called common courtesy before and still is.

Thanks Clueless Monkey. That's good to hear.

Metrodome's "Days of Glory" is Region Free, hopefully "The Banquet" and "Assembly" are too.

There's a DVD too:

pity this hasn't any english subs

It is a pity. I've not seen my DVD yet but I reckon I might like it. The action looks awesome.

Nice!

What about IA2?
They release the first one and the third one, but not the second one?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Apr 2008, 13:24

That is weird.

I'm going to upgrade IA as that works as a standalone film but IA3 needs IA2, so I won't bother getting that until IA2 is also out. I will definitely then though.

Clueless_Monkey · Post by **Clueless_Monkey** » 23 Apr 2008, 15:28

Maybe they didn't want to release a film with Edison Chen on the cover.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Apr 2008, 16:14

What, like this one?

Hopefully it will look better to the Infernal Affairs BD. I wish HK studios would start to use BD50s.

It's weird that a commentary is listed for IA3 as none of the DVDs have one. Only IA1 and IA2 have one. Hopefully IA3 is the DC too -

*118 minute Director's Cut
*107 minute Theatrical Cut

Interesting:

"I asked the head of Metrodome press directly today and he said there is no BD release for The Banquet."

That would make me a sad Monkey

Screw Metrodrome, looks like Mega Star will release some good stuff this (?) year:

Found the scan at asiandvdguide.com, obviously

Interesting, DOBW. Thanks C.M.! Great to see that they're finally embracing BD50's too.

I'd be inclined to pick up the IA trilogy boxset and Exiled.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Apr 2008, 17:13

Fantastic:

* BD50s - At last!
* Infernal Affairs Trilogy - I'll so pick this up. I may have to wait until December to save getting caught by Customs though.
* Warlords - I was going to pick up the HK DVD soon too. I'll wait.

DOBW and ATGB, those are two interesting choices to pick BUT I hope they put the Mono back. The Original and Golden SE DVDs only have 5.1 remixes!

I may pick up DOBW, maybe. I'm not sure I like it all that much though.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 25 Apr 2008, 18:27

I'd get DAYS OF BEING WILD, but that's it...

Still, it's a start.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Apr 2008, 18:33

It's a great start, it's not their fault you don't like the rest

I'd only get DOBW if the transfer ain't a stinking pile of arse.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Apr 2008, 18:38

And it features Mono? The 5.1 remix is fairly OTT. I used to own the original DVD.

Lourdes · Post by **Lourdes** » 25 Apr 2008, 23:21

It'll ue the same new masters found on the R3K/R2J, they're lurverly.
I don't like the film much however!
