Playback
Region B (A, C untested)

APOCALYSE NOW UK is released under STUDIO CANAL, so it will be Region B.

Studio Canal Region B disc can be play at PIONEER Zone A player. u just need to do some trick with your remote. (also depends your firmware)

Try your luck, brother with the following steps:

1st - put in the ZB disc to your Pioneer Player
2nd - it will display at your screen as Zone B Disc
3rd - press STOP button with your remote
4th - the disc will stop plaing with pioneer logo at the screen
5ft - Press "Next" with your remote

haha, if u are lucky, the disc will start at Chapter 1.

THis work with most UK OPTIMUM disc too. But, not at the Disney/fox/new line release.

I am also very tempted to purchase this - US26 is a really good deal.
However many review that there is some major issue with the PQ and AQ especially for Die Harder.

So the problem has not been rectified yet since last year? If that is the case, it is pointless to buy this as a collector item. Better wait until a better edition is out

Got these,

USED.. From a fellow forummer..

i agree the Die harder is very weak in BD, lots of reviwers & DIEHARD fans also claimed Die Harder is the weakest in the franchise.

I doubt FOX will spend big bug to restored or remaster DIEHARDER, unless there is really lots of Fans demand it. But who knows? FOX also restored FRENCH CONNECTION 2 & ALIEN 3.

Let's hope BRUCE WILLIS will make DIE HARD 5 - "DIE HARDEST in 3D" & then the full DIEHARD package restored & released again.

haha... nice one. hope more bd players capable to overide some region lock discs in future. i still owned a '98 pioneer dv-505 dvdp; where with a few remote tricks can overide all dvd regions

it would not work at SONY/SAMSUNG/PANASONIC BD player.

This is not the case with the BDROM Can play pretty much every single release

You should as P, SW, Fantasia are returning to vault. Better get them before it disappears. All 3 timeless classics returns to vault on 30th April according to Disney Movie Club before they get re-released. Anyone knows if Amazon will do the same bit?

Die Hard 2 is not DTS-Master alhtough stated as such on the cover yes?

DIEHARD2 is DTS-MASTER, just tested the disc & confirmed.

That is right! but the price seems a bit pricey....

With only Alien + Aliens (since only one disc, assuming no extra) already cost USD $ 48.98, around RM 148.90.

By purchasing the complete anthology UK set only £27.99, around RM 136.90 with 4 movies + all the extras, OK even the last two you not interesting, but in overall it still cheapest than you getting the titles separately.

I don't see any point of getting those single separate edition, unless you only want one Alien, then it might saving you some.

Added on March 14, 2011, 12:52 amBase on my above calculation, Anthology UK Edition (region FREE) only around RM 136.90 but this separate two titles already cost RM 148.90.

You might reconsidered taken the complete UK set rather than separate title.

Hi here
Anyone using panasonic blu ray player it is support full HD?

Thanks

Then does that mean that the issue with the PQ/AQ of this DieHard2 has been rectified to an acceptable level by FOX or is it still an issue. USD26 for all four movies is really a good deal - especially to me as I have yet to even own them in DVD

Hi guys... anyone here already bought "Human Planet" from Amazon UK? How is it compare to "Life" and "Planet Earth"? I'm just afraid they will reuse a lot of previous series footage... thanks.

All current BD player is Full HD, unless your TV not support it.

It is ok as long as your TV at least a HD Ready.

hi,
I just revisted the DIE HARD BOX SET last night, my opinion is as follows:
DIE1 - been remastered & restored at a very acceptable quality.
DIE2 - not as bad as reviews claim, depends on what media u watch with. pls note D2 is made in 1989/1990 & the movie is not shoot at hi-def camera. it was filmed at tradisional way with lots of dark scence, in fact the whole mv took place at 1 night. I do not think fox rectified the problem, as i believe D2 looks acceptable.
DIE3-very good pic q.
DIE 4 - near demo.

I would say go ahead, U$26 is about 3 BD $. just consider buying D1,3 & 4 with bonus D2 in the price tag.

surprisingly, there is more ALIEN franchise fans than Diehard franchise. Actually Diehard Franchise made much more money for Fox than the Alien.

Thanks so much for the "poisoning" message
