Apprarently the UK release of Monster's Inc is a 2 disc edition. 1 BD50 (main) and 1 BD25 (extras). DTS HD MA 5.1. Only difference is no digital copy.

Really? Because on the Amazon UK page it says 1 disc only. Amazon's info on region lock can't be trusted, but their number of disc is usually correct.

But if it is 2 disc, then I might buy it a s well. nod.gif

I have a question regarding Casablanca BD....I have noticed that Amazon US doesnt have just the movie ..it comes with a collector's edition but I have seen just the movie in Speedy....(Amazon UK havent released this film yet as well)

I assumed it's HK edition but I cannot find any details about it...(I am sure its not Japanese version as it doesnt have Japanese subtitles/audio)...

Is it possible this BD is manufactured elsewhere other than US/HK/JPN?

that y u need to buy at least 3-4 BD using expedite shipping at a time to cover shipping cost... normally they just add 4USD for an extra BD.. the first BD is the killing cost.. tongue.gif

Just put order for Pirates Carribean 1, 2 & 3 from Amazon UK. It's 11.97 per piece but they are having promotion 3 for 2 so I only pay for the price of 2. Total plus shipping is GBP30.50 about RM180. Good price I think. The box set is more expensive coz no offer.

It's probably the local edition released by HVN which is pressed in HK. I'm seeing more and more of this local editions in stores now.

Deltamac release in HK, they compress the movie into a 25GB disc, one example I've seen with my own eyes was I, Robot. So they're just like the cetak rompak ones, the difference is that they're legal. My worry is that these lcoal editions are the same.

HK release from Mei Ah, for their local movies are top-notch BD50 though, like Red Cliff, Ip Man, etc.

Actually Universal is pretty decent about it. Also some Sony titles. Hancock UK had BD live, Bourne Trilogy, Wanted is some of them I know.

Disney UK titles do not have BD live.

Yes, I also thought like that. I asked the manager at Ezy Video, he told me about this local editions. Very hard to tell actually, they look exactly like the US editions. The best way to know is the price, they're usually under RM100.

Hahaha you are new here so I do not blame you. Like that call champion? You should see the old timer like mpyw and tun mega, how they buy last time. Should be around 20 titles per month? Those are the real elite.... almost 300-400 titles now. tongue.gif

rclxub.gif ....maybe they will print it locally and jack up the price...so no one will even know whether its local or not... rclxub.gif

casablanca BD do look like the US version (minus the collector edition stuff) ...although its selling for RM149 it is in the Buy 2 Get 1 free promotion unsure.gif
