£25 is decent, it will be a while before Lost S1 is as cheap as 24: S1.
I prefer the R1 digipack for Lost though, on R2 there'll all in slimline cases.

Interesting I didn't know that. Digi-pack isn't worth an extra £5 though (R1 being £29.99).

I can wait until Lost gets closer to £20. I'm in no rush.

Yeah, that's why I ordered the R1, and then ended up having to pay that damn customs charge!! Haha

I would pay £100 quid for Lost.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 26 May 2006, 17:19

Bloody hell I wouldn't, and I loved the show.
£30 is fine.

But your're TV obsessed

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 26 May 2006, 17:48

Nope, I am quality film/TV obsessed

if its amazing then I want it and Lost is more than worth any price If I had to pay it and that was the only way to get it.

I'll rephrase then:

But Film/TV is ALL you spend your money on

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 26 May 2006, 19:58

Well I save more than I spend

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 26 May 2006, 20:14

Seriously? Fair enough then.

Underworld: Evolution for $10/£5.38 delivered: http://www.ethaicd.com/show.php?pid=23806&asso=1484

This link shows it's Anamorphic and DD5.1, Barebones if it bothers you:

http://www.boomerangshop.com/boomweb/pr ... pid=126042

I've gone for it. I missed it at the cinema and it will do nicely until a proper SE comes (if at all).

The Thai 2 Disc Extended Cut SE of Blade: Trinity is also good value at $12.50. I picked this up for about £4 while in BKK last year. It comes in a really nice digi-pack and the AV is as good as the R1/R2:

eThaiCD are definitely the best next to actually getting them in BKK.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bang Bang Kiss Kiss" for $12.50 with Gag Reel and a Commentary with Val Kilmer, Robert Downey Jr. and Shane Black which ISN'T on the UK R2 or R1??? (BUT is on the French DVD). It looks to be an official WB DVD

Making it a bargain: http://www.ethaicd.com/show.php?pid=23685&asso=1484

It's actually "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" BTW. Highly amusing popcorn film BTW, well worth checking out. Yeah, the commentary is missing from the R2UK & R4.

Fucking dire film, avoid like the plague.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 27 May 2006, 18:21

Shame they are Thai no way in hell I am buying them, look at the sodding covers!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 May 2006, 18:40

Do you watch the films or stare at the covers all day?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 27 May 2006, 22:12

I look at the covers more than I do the dvds as I display some good ones

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 May 2006, 10:19

Fairy muff

I have and see nothing wrong with them. EIV have done far worse. Agreed Japanese and Chinese text looks nicer but Korean text looks about the same as Thai text to me. Not that I care tbh.

The price of Thai DVDs more than makes up for it. If EIV DVDs were this cheap I'd forgive the cover art or at least try to.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 May 2006, 15:21

I agree Brad

Strange. Do you know why that is?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 May 2006, 15:56

No idea. It's missing from the R1 too, which got some minor exclusive extras instead (some silly looking Making Of).

Crying Fist: Thai DVD looks to be uncut, a cheap way to get the film:

http://www.ethaicd.com/show.php?pid=22954

What with the UK and HK DVDs being cut and only the expensive Korean available.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 28 May 2006, 16:03

The R1 doesn't have the commentary either??? Bizarre.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 28 May 2006, 16:21

Nah, the R1 has the commentary. It's listed on Amazon.com. Also a dude on thedvdforums has a leaked rip of the R1 which has the commentary.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 May 2006, 17:19

Being listed on Amazon.com doesn't mean shit. The listing seems to vary across e-tailors, some mention the commentary, most don't. I didn't realise the R1 wasn't out yet.

Besides back on topic the R1 is more expensive so it doesn't mean much to me anyway.

Maybe not accurate but:
