HUZZAH, the boxset has native-PAL transfers!

It loses most of the original Oldboy extras though :shock: , the deleted scenes are decent.

While good it's Native-PAL I can't be bothered any more with lots of the stuff missing.

I don't see what the big deal is, we already own all those extras and SFLV colour version on the prior releases.

I didn't realise you meant you when you said that. I thought it was a general statement.

To use the words of one Eva: "Fuck no, I'm not retarded." You think I'd keep my Old Boy and SFLV DVDs? If I can help it I always get rid.

Apoc. Now Redux has a good reason to keep the French DVD (mostly it cost me a fortune which I wouldn't get back + it it's a nice rare set, now OOP), as does owning both the R4 and UK R2 Musa but SFLV I want both cuts first and foremost, and Old boy I'm just annoyed it loses extras.

That one is perfect anyway (IMO), it was the SFMV and SFLV extras I was interested + both SFLV cuts. I need both to make it worth my while upgrading (considering I'd sell OldBoy and SFLV on).

I don't like (but don't mind doing it on occasion) owning to DVDs of the same film. I wouldn't have owned by Gladiator cuts if they weren't in the same set, I got rid of the UK R2 despite having DTS.

Besides a Vengeance Trilogy without the SFLV cut most have seen, the cut most seem to prefer and it's theatrical cut too (even in the UK) strikes me as a big cock up.

Nope it's definitely SFMV R4 for me. I want to check out Lady V first before buying SFMV though. I almost watched it at the w/e but didn't around to it. All this talk has put it at the top of my to watch list.

I presume e-stores I don't know of? Which ones? Because like I said the cheapest I can find is 27 bucks.

Not much use to me. I don't think we have Borders in the UK, not near me anyway.

I know, as in too if you do also.

DVD Active's Vengeance Trilogy Review is up: http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd/th ... ilogy.html

It's been up a few days but I forgot to post it. It's worth a read.

While this looks like an excellent set the Lady Vengeance Colour version omission is a killer omission for me, it's vital to the Lady V release IMO.

Okay, someone fill me in. Don't care about Oldboy or SFLV. What's new with SFMV in R1 and R2?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 12 Nov 2006, 21:28

* R1 nothing but the rumour is a fully stacked DVD Tin is coming (very much a rumour), at the moment it's just a single disc with a commentary.
* UK R2 read the above review. Tartan have released a fully stacked 2 Disc edition BUT it's only part of a Trilogy box set.

Right now if you just want SFMV and not the other two get the R4, it's easily the best English friendly version (next to the new box set version): https://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ ... .php?t=169

Any idea if the R4 and new Tartan have the notes subtitled?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 12 Nov 2006, 23:46

Good question, I've no idea sorry. I suggest asking in that review for the Tartan and here for the R4:

http://madboards.madman.com.au/viewforum.php?f=12

You should get a response from both.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 13 Nov 2006, 04:05

By notes you mean stuff like street signs, newspaper headings, etc?

Well even better for me as I just sold my Oldboy Korean tin for over £100 so its free really

its this version or the cheapo UK dvd, not sure what to get.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Nov 2006, 18:49

YOOZER! Easily the Tin IMO. As I already own the UK I'm not sure I'll bother but the Tin is better.

eBay right? How many bids?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 15 Nov 2006, 19:19

Nope sold it on a forum

as wanted quick sale as Ebay gets on my nerves sometimes all the waiting, forums are a good place for offloading loads of my Big sets quickly as I am trying to get rid of tonnes.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Nov 2006, 19:26

WOW people really are dumb sometimes. £100 for a few DVDs and some cardboard/tin/whatever not worth £100.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 15 Nov 2006, 19:59

Well I could have got more on Ebay, but I cut out the middle men and a guy came round with cash

£110 quid I think he paid

I dont pay massive amounts for these ussually as I get em before the prices go wayyy to high, I wouldnt pay hundreds for any I dont think. I wanted 10 Lord of the Rings sets to make cash on them

but sadly only got 1, if I had got 9 more I would have made a few thousand profit. Sometimes it works, sometimes it dont, I was stuck with 14 Kill Bill Volume 2 limited sets

practically gave em away in the end.
