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. |

QUOTE(johnsontys @ Mar 13 2011, 04:17 PM) I am also very tempted to purchase this - US26 is a really good deal. 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. 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  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. |

QUOTE(johnsontys @ Mar 14 2011, 09:59 AM) 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,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. |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 14 2011, 08:27 PM) I not buy pirated already, I mean with such price can discontinued pirated active. Hi Andrew, don't worry man, from your cool collection, we all know u appreciate original & perhaps few of the TRUE COLLECTOR in Malaysia. Added on March 14, 2011, 8:06 pm QUOTE(johnsontys @ Mar 14 2011, 08:54 PM) Thanks bro. Apparently I have done some research on this box-set as well. Some forumer (from overseas) claimed that despite the box-set printed as region-free, it only applied to the first 3 movies. The fourth movie - Rambo is Region B locked. That is why I am still waiting for the US boxset. But the set back is the 4th movie (Rambo) in the US box set is only standard edition - not the extended edition. So may need to buy the boxset for movie 1-3 and then the 4th movie extended version separately - meaning more money. seems like i been underestimate your JEDI power in controlling budget & not easy to lead u to the DARKSIDE for crazy buying. I need to work harder to post more sales info here. haha.But since I have spent USD60+, no more money already. Need to wait till April. For RAMBO, i did what u said, RAMBO 1 to 3 box set + extended. Cool movie but bad presentation, i box + 1 disc, err, not good for displaying This post has been edited by johnbluraylover: Mar 14 2011, 08:06 PM |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Mar 15 2011, 01:28 AM) Well, that's not the only site you can use as reference. Partially blu-ray.com is useful but not always and its good practice to read the threads people create over there on the released titles. thanks for all senior members on the info.If you read them patiently, you'll get the info you wanted. With OPPO 93 multi Zone comin to MAlaysia, i believe soon or later we do not need to worry ZA & B anymore. |

QUOTE(dariofoo @ Mar 15 2011, 09:06 PM) Bring it on! hi, i pre-order it, but seems like AMZ FRANCE has better packaging, with lots of cool artcard. do not understand why US always sucks in packing, after all TAXI DRIVER is a masterpiece.  On another note, has anyone pre-ordered Taxi Driver @ $12.99 [on AMZ US]. Any news on special features,etc? It's very cheap, consideration the fact it is a highly-acclaimed and much anticipated BD release. Is there a catch to it?  check out the APOCALYPSE NOW AMZ UK, really cool. |

QUOTE(sophan @ Mar 16 2011, 04:44 PM) just asking, anyone got The Thin Red Line? Is it good. 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.i'm really interested but the price so expensive. 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. |

QUOTE(sophan @ Mar 16 2011, 06:20 PM) The Thin Red Line = USD30 u might want to wait for sales, might down around U$22. I bought lots of criterion collection during sales. and some more only 1 disk. 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. |
