I bought a Sony BD player (region B) from Harvey Norman Australia for AUD160 x 3.05 = RM488 to complement my existing region A player.
So now, I can watch both region A & B discs
Have been buying BD movies from AMZ US and UK without worrying about region issues

You could have purchased Region free player (if they had it) instead of having two separate player for Region A & B

shouldn't you put this question in dune thread instead of here?

It should boss, one off question..doesn't matter i think

They don't have branded region free players at that time. Not sure whether now available or not.

Can anyone share with me on the purchase of BDs from B&N?
Bought 2 BDs and received an email that they have shipped on 25-Feb.

So far no news on the arrival and they did not also provide me with any tracking number. Similarly, bought a few BDs from Amazon a week after that and those parcel already arrived.

Wandering why it take so long for B&N. Have to admit that their shipment is somewhat cheaper than Amazon but that doesn't mean it will take significantly longer shipment period?

my last order from B&N shipped on 03 March 2011, just arrived today

total: 13 days

I pre-ordered Bambi and it was shipped on 1st March. Today is 16th March. I have not received my package yet.
You have to be patient with B&N. Usually the shipment from B&N takes longer than Amazon does.

just asking, anyone got The Thin Red Line? Is it good.

i'm really interested but the price so expensive.

Hi, it is 1 of the best war movie ever made, rated same with SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. However, it is more dialog driven with lesser action (with only 2 major action which as good as saving private) with beautiful scene & green color.

The Criterion Collection offer the demo material for Thin Red Line, a must to own for home theater., but would hv to agree is expensive. criterion collection always at above U$20.

The Thin Red Line = USD30

and some more only 1 disk.

Normally Criterion Collection price is expensive and high.

Thin Red Line is a good movie.

u might want to wait for sales, might down around U$22. I bought lots of criterion collection during sales.

reason expensive -Criterion always restored & remastered the release by themselves. actually Thin Red Line was released by FOX, but Criterion bought the copyright.
most of the Criterion is 1 disc , but they made full use of space & the extra is always new & exclusive.
also feature booklet.

Last year's Black Friday offer was 19.99 @ B&N

Thank u
