QUOTE(fadthil @ Nov 22 2011, 10:43 PM) It's problem free if you dont overspend; but can oso be haku na matata... tumpah all air mata becoz have to fork out more  this month on BF... because of The Crow, i've to buy 5 other titles to reduce shipping cost  well, at least my next lightning deal will be on Friday (Saturday morning in Msia boleh...)  The bolded one is extremely dangerous. Thats the reason I over spend during 2010 BF.. really use the whole 2011 to pay it off. So my rule of thumb is make sure my wallet got money b4 I sapu..

QUOTE(earthloon1998 @ Nov 22 2011, 10:34 PM) I have just commit my purchase on this (Avatar) and notice that it stated region B on the page. Is this region free or locked (B)? From user report, it is Region Free.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Nov 23 2011, 12:36 AM) this website review also stated Region B :http://homecinema.thedigitalfix.com/content/id/73216/guillermo-del-toro-collection.html » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Tech Specs Optimum presents the three films on individual discs with their appropriate extras. Region B encoded, the discs carry the films in AVC/MPEG4 coded transfers and with two lossless sound options each. Previous transfers of Cronos have frankly been shocking and the need for something half decent is pressing. That is what is delivered here with a much cleaner image than the existing DVD releases. Contrast is greatly improved, skin tones are a little too hot and edges are a little emphasised but this is far superior to previous versions in detail and simple representation. The transfer takes up 22.8GB of the disc.
anyway, hope its labeled B but can play on A machines This post has been edited by wiNd: Nov 23 2011, 12:51 AM

QUOTE(wiNd @ Nov 23 2011, 01:04 AM) Deal Alert : Scarface Steelbook - 11.99  Nice deal! & lucky I cancel the Avatar Steelbook, as I read user respond mention the re-print (it was out of print quite some times) no longer came with art card & survival book. Title also being change by Amazon UK as well, seems now only the steelbook itself. I just notice no VAT deduct for all the lightning deal given by Amazon UK.
