Picture quality a bit dull, doesn't sound that good too, I hope Fox will remastered the trilogy.

But for fans, this is a good $

yesterday received few disc from AMZ UK, good news is they improved the packing a lot, all steelbook arrived safe & in near perfect condition.

i got the JURRASIC PARK STEEL TIN CASE - i believe it is not the best choice, given the $ is around RM200+ & the bonus material inside is soso only.

AKIRA steelbook look very good, the best is ADJUSTMENT BERUEA steelbook, it just looks gorgeous, like PAUL.

GUN OF NAVARONE came with slipcover.

2 more weeks to go...............

Resistance is futile, i succumbed to the temptation.
the temptation is too powerful for me. My itchy hand just press the ORDER button for Stanley Kubrick Collection. Damn u Amazon.com and myself SowYau.

I prefer this over UK version, main reason is the very nice packaging. For those who crave UK version, although minus 2 movies, the price enable them to buy it separately.

instead of blaming AMZ & yourself & you will buy it eventually, why not just enjoy of buying it? hmm.gif

my friend, enjoy it by enjoy of buying it. laugh.gif

Just purchase 2 Amazon UK Lightning Deal

  • Downton Abbey Pack - Book and Blu-ray Box Set - £25.99 (origin - £40.49)
  • Guillermo Del Toro Collection - £18.97 (origin - £31.99)
* Total include shipping fees - £44.16 (Origin - £72.48) RM 219.80 (RM 360.80)

** Hope the Guillermo set is region Free, as given by http://www.blurayspecs.co.uk/blu-ray-movie...o-collection-uk but Optimum Home Entertainment is labelling this set as Region B only at box, if it really is Region B locked, I just keep it for future.

hi bro,

i got the DEVIL BACKBONE - OPTIMUM release, it is region B-LOCK.

last night, buy 3 more title & spend RM110, so far still under budget. icon_rolleyes.gif

TOY STORY TOY BOX i got it couple months ago during daily goldbox deal, i felt it is not worth for keeping, the cover is made by hard paper & easy to be dented & damaged, it will not long lasted.

Can someone tell me any shop in KL selling Oppo? I try to buy this but cannot find suitable outlet. Reading through the forum indicate nearest in Penang or Singapore. Please help...I belanja teh-tarik....I want to buy next week if possible!

PENANG HI-FI CHOICE used to sell OPPO-93 REGION A+B, but they stop selling it already, heard the profit is low & too many works/communication need.

I own a OPPO 93 region free from USA, it one of the best player around.

Actually it is not difficult to get a region B player now a day, I recommending u guys direct buy one from EUROPE/UK when u travelling, it cost around RM300 only.

after this round of BLACK FRIDAY DEAL, i guess i wiil never pre-order the big studio box set release cause almost all $ is 100% going down! and only in few months time! what for we paid a high $ for geting early but not watching it? rclxub.gif doh.gif

i rather order the limited independent release.

i still hope PETER JACKSON DEAD ALIVE (LION GATES release) will go down at around U$7 rolleyes.gif

Are you mean Guilty of Romance? If yes, this movie is last film in a trilogy, called "Hate Trilogy". There other 2 is Love Exposure and Cold Fish.  This film is good if you are looking gratuitous sex and nudity.  tongue.gif

COLD FISH is a Japanese movie, quite bloody too, AMAZON UK is released bu THIRD WINDOW, a good distributor also brought us few good JP dark movie.

i highly recommending AMZON OPTIMUM UK REGION B LOCK - I SAW THE DEVIL (KOREA), BEDEVILLED (KOREA), both are very good adult movie.


Added on November 30, 2011, 3:42 pmyesterday received EVIL DEAD 2 & MOMENTO, both AMZ US LION GATE release, quite good quality
