CJ7 Blu Ray arrived today, ive just had a scan through the disc in the games room and can confirm it is region free! Infact the disc is labeled all region too!

Also FYI the CJ7 BD is barebones, zero extra's!

Shinobi: Heart under Blade is slightly below average at best, highly forgettable and an absolute waste of money.

That's a shame, thanks Clueless Monkey.

Kino International, distributor of foreign and indie films in the United States, will begin releasing Blu-ray titles this fall. Sources tell us that the first high definition title they will release will be Wong Kar Wai's 'Fallen Angels'. No technical specs or supplemental features have been announced at this time.

One of the gems of the Kino's catalog is the 1927 silent film 'Metropolis', considered by many to be one of the most influential science fiction films of all times. It was recently restored in 2002 and would be truly a magnificent experience to see the film in high definition.

Thanks Clueless! This, Chungking Express from Criterion and DoBW from Megastar are must-purchases. Kino also have the rights to Happy Together. Hopefully someone will also put out 2046 and ITMFL, preferably Tartan.

Thanks Clueless Monkey. It sounds like it will be a good time to be a WKW fan. My Blueberry Nights is coming next month too. For me ITMFL is the big release, followed by 2046.

Metropolis would be cool too.

Are Yes Asia UK Customs free?

I reckon I'll need that when the IA Trilogy BD Box sets gets released. I've never used them before. Where's the best place to get Yes Asia vouchers from? Thanks

yesasia are customs friendly,they reship from inside the uk ala movietyme.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 10 May 2008, 02:26

Thanks Salty. I thought that was so. I knew about MovieTyme.

Hopefully they'll stock it too when it's released. I guess it won't be long now as both IA2 and IA3 are coming soon.

p.s - Yes Asia sell BDs right? There search engine sucks. I cannot find any Infernal Affairds BD period.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 10 May 2008, 03:52

Sadly they don't stock the Infernal Affairs BDs. I already contacted the CS about it, but they wouldn't tell me why.

Someone on the Asiandvdguide board mentioned that it may be because of license problems.

and you get 10% off with Quidco, but hell I am sure Brad dont care about that still

+ a $5 coucher ad things work out cheaper than many other places.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 10 May 2008, 16:36

Thanks Salty and Clueless Monkey. That is annoying as we'll need a Customs Friendly place when the Trilogy box set comes.

10% off a BD box set I maybe interested in but otherwise no I'm not interested.

What $5 voucher Romero? Can you post it please. Does it have an expiry date?

I don't understand why anyone, especially someone on benefits, would turn their nose up at any cashback - especially 10%.

Becuase he is an idiot?

I have made £80 from them cashback sites now, free cash for a few clicks, only someone with no brain would turn that down. I have a job, but free cash still makes me happy.

1% or 50% its fucking free!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Salty. I'm presuming the expired codes still work?

It looks like DTS-HD MA has replaced PCM as the Lossless format of choice for Mega Star (like many other studios). I wonder if they're BD25's this time? -

According to dtv forums, Assembly uk is region-free

Cool, thanks Salty.

Brad you should not edit so many posts, if you say something leave it even if you feel you said something a tit would. I do, as frankly who gives a shit.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 May 2008, 19:13

You shouldn't talk so much tosh but we cannot stop you

p.s - Care to explaining what you're waffling about?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 11 May 2008, 19:21

Do I really need to? surley you remember what you post?

You edited the post on the last page where you called everyone else an idiot for saying you dont use Quidco, and said your not the only one who does not use Quido etc.. basically the post on the last page is nothing like it was in any way, then you added IA3 cover to finish it off.

I always add

EDIT

then right at the bottom if I ever edit something, easy way i find.

I dont mind anything you say, it just gets a bit odd when you edit so much out sometimes, you do it rather a lot it has to be said even when people have responded to your posts
