Hey go to cdwow and use vouchers most work out cheaper than Yesasia sales as Yesasia are shite OldBoy is far cheap for starters, not sure why you want to use Yesasia?

I personally havent seen any of them, but from what I hear all are pretty shite really exept Friend and Three, still I want to see Face and The uninvited, but really I wouldnt even pay them sale prices.

friend is the best reviewed film from them all I would say and I cannot wait to see it, but I dont want the cheapo HK dvd at all, I want the korean Limited Edition and will wait till someone has it for sale

been waiting a long time.

Hey once again they seem to have sold out, they keep listing it and it gets in the top 10 films, then sells out and they take it down again! buggers must not be able to get loads of stock at once I guess

[b]Friend[/b] is about £6.69 delivered from [url=http://www.dvdoo.com/dvdoo/film.asp?Command=12076]DVDoo[/url].

Who I've used and the DVD arrived in 4 days (from order). The DVD is anamorphic, with Korean DD5.1 and a second disc of extras. It looks to have a slip-case too! [b]Everything[/b] has English subs! (Knetan posted this a while ago).

Twice the price for English subbed extras makes sense to me, considering it's so cheap!

Actually for that price I may buy it now. I've been meaning to for a while, it was £8.50 the last time I checked.

This is the Scandinavian R2.

do you not find dvdoo hard to navigate?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 Nov 2004, 20:17

Nah not really.

The films are listed in their English title and using a bit of common sense (and a translator) it's not hard to work out what each page says when ordering.

No harder than ordering from Spanish (www.veoveo.es) or French (Amazon.fr) e-tailors.

Besides the DVD is cheap and clearly better than the HK DVD, and maybe better than the Korean DVD too (depending on what you're looking for).

I've only bought from them once ("The Others" it has DTS not on the R1 or UK R2). I ordered it on a Saturday and it arrived on a Tuesday, the Monday was a bank holiday (maybe not in Scandinavia).

A Danish/Universal translator:

The one you want is listed as "Translation Experts" under the "Translate a web page" section. This is a cracking site btw.

I think I was gonna get Commando from there, but the link to the site where the best version was at was on old Bullets

Don't you want the French or Dutch R2 not Danish R2?:

http://www.dvdzone2.com/dvd/detail.asp?id=116640

13.99€/£9.81 delivered.

DVD Compare say the DVD is uncut:

I'm sure the French one is as it's been discussed here in the past.

Yeah the French/Dutch "Commando" DVD (rated 16) is uncut. I know because I have it!

Old Bullets original statement of "The DANISH DVD is uncut" was a mistake and it was changed.
