DAYS OF BEING WILD no feature, just pure movi in 25gb, read from bluray review got 4 star in pic quality. anyhow, this is my high school movi, me & my gang watched this movi at least 20 times. got to own it in HD format

EXCILED - i just hope THE MISSION will be released in BD format too, me already got VENGEANCE, now added EXCILED, if can collect MISSION, it is a cool "GUN TRILOGY"

DREAM HOME , BRO, sorry that i can't remmember name well. tongue.gif


Added on May 5, 2011, 9:23 amjust some update on my HK bluray

1) BODYGUARD & ASSASINS-2 DISC LIMITED EDITION - this is a very nice looking collector edition, the disc came in a good packing, 1st there is a hard cardboard sidecover, then a blueray keepcase (uk size)
the movi printout is a very classy old picture look. inside there is 4 coy of vey nice artcard. the movi quality is good, in 7.1 lossless sound.

2) DAYS OF BEING WILD - this is a very grainny look movi, so stay away from this disc if u hate grain. it looks good when i played it with my "GRAIN MASTER" BD PLAYER OPPO93., the best part is it lossless sound.
3) EXILED - i only tried this at my plasma, anyhow it looks really good, color sharp, vibrant, details is good, strong details even at very dark scene.

4) DREAM HOME - this is a good surprise for me, when i saw the detail from the cover, it stated decoded by MPEG-2 & dolby digital 5.1 only, i was a bit worry, however when i played the disc, it is in DTS-HD MASTER 6.1 lossless sound & the picture is awesome, in fact, it is the best looking in the 4 disc i got. it also come with few extra feature, although very few in quantity, but very enjoyable, because i saw "edison chang" in the extra feature.

@ Mr. Skywire Pte Ltd - Hong Kong's piracy levels isn't as bad as you imagine or make it out to be. For one, HKers purchasing power is strong. Secondly, enforcement against piracy is taken seriously by the authorities.

However, that is not to say that piracy does not exist at all. Sure, you can still find pirated stuff in HK, but usually this is something that a casual tourist would not stumble upon in the mainstream. You would need to know specifically where to go to (usually on the higher floors of some secluded building off the main zones) and the protocol for purchasing such stuff (i.e. select and pay for your orders first, come back 30-45 mins later and collect at another location through a small peeping hole through a reinforced steel door!). Quite an interesting experience for the uninitiated lol. But surely not something any tourist or casual visitor would want to go through.

For the locals hell-bent on getting their materials ILLEGALLY, they don't really need to resort to buying pirated BDs when they can download them off the internet. You can get a 100Mbps internet package for about HK$100 per month, with no capping and consistently fast speeds. Bandwidth is quality-controlled by a quota system i.e. limited to x number of users (subscriptions) per floor/block of building. Anyway, I digress.

So to surmise, my point is that as a rule of thumb, you basically won't be able to find pirated BDs at street-level retailers and in shopping malls.
PM me once your dates are confirmed. i'll bring u BD shopping around HK. HT/hifi shopping too if u want.  brows.gif

John update:

Today i just got a big box from AMZ US via I-PARCEL, actually this time it arrived 1 week earlier, i guess.

5 movi, 3 special collector gift set,

HELLBOY 2 paper box is so teruk can be thrown away, fortunately every thing is fine inside.

WANTED is in very good condition, i spend 1 or 2 minutes just to figure out how to take out the disc. luckily i haven't sold my standard copy, cause i prefer the standard keepcase for the disc.

I AM LEGEND is in a big landscape pack, very reasonable $, around RM70 only, with lots of supplimentary art card, book, etc. i also managed to sell my old standard legend to cover half of this gift set.

GOEMON slipcover kena bang & some damage at the corner, but still ok, i already ok to accept the minor or mid damage from AMZ.

too bad my wife took my camera to KL, so can't share pic with u guys.

Finished watching HK movi EXILED last night, this is the 1st time i sit through this movi, just love it, especially the 7.1 surround sound.

Added on May 6, 2011, 4:09 pmYa, I know.. but if the film I really like, I can't get the normal standard packaging, I will extremely over regret after getting it! Ops!

Is UK edition region FREE? If yes, then I gonna cancel my JP Edition.


Added on May 6, 2011, 4:13 pm
Your mobile phone got camera? hehe... You get the "I Am Legend" collector set? same size as those GWTW, TSOM, TTC?
*
my handphone no camera, it got torchlight! biggrin.gif

I AM LEGEND is same size with my FOREST GUMP, i don't have GWTW, what is TTC?

Most likely APOCALYSE is region B locked, avoid the GERMAN, it is excatly same with UK, dif $, why don't u hold 1st, when uk release, check forum, it might save u RM130 if uk is free region. if not, then only buy from JP.

Trying to buy BDs from Amazon Canada. Apparently choosing the Standard International Shipping - it was mentioned that they need to that 30-40 weeks to delivered - WOW that is more than half a year baru sampai!

Anybody can share your experience shipping from Canada and the cost - it is better than Amazon US?

dude, this is their standard reply in shipping estimation, usually they will use DHL, it will arrived within a week, most of us bought b4 from AMZ CANADA.

if u in KL, no FINAS.

Off topic, but somehow related..

The inflation rate in Malaysia was last reported at 2.9 percent in February of 2011. From 2005 until 2010, the average inflation rate in Malaysia was 2.77 percent reaching an historical high of 8.50 percent in July of 2008 and a record low of -2.40 percent in July of 2009. Inflation rate refers to a general rise in prices measured against a standard level of purchasing power.

Looking over here in this thread, i do not see the above applicable. tongue.gif

Your photo download from Web is old version of "I Am Legend (Ultimate Collector's Edition)".  The one you getting from Amazon, I am suspecting is new edition released since August 3, 2010. Old edition already out of stock for sometimes.  I don't know what is the difference between new and old version.

ya bro, hv to agree iparcel always sucks, but recet packae seems a bit improvements.
