Anyone bought this?

prior to the BD....did everyone buy original DVD? or mostly Uncle Ho's loyal customers

that UK version seem to be inferior to the upcoming US release. hence the price difference.

*raised small hand*    

In my cart since ages. Not enough $$ to checkout.

Actually, I'll skip both. I'll wait for new release. US version is a low-bitrate video port from HDDVD, while UK version lacks lossless audio.

Check out the specs provided by House / Kannisto at AVS.

which new release?

shawshank redemption is currently # 1 on the top 250 on IMDB

mega...the small hand raised to the Uncle or you were buying original DVDs?

small hand for original 

didn't you hear. its official. the blue ray code has been broken a couple of weeks back. so pirates are just calculating economies of scale now.

thats too bad. would have preferred this medium be safe. so the collection would mean something. then a few months from now, any tom d*** and harry can buy blue rays for 20 bucks a piece.

band of brothers.... drool....

unfortunately, one blank blu ray disc costs around RM60. So even if you pirate a BD, you think people will pay RM60 for a movie? Hell no, they rather buy cheap pirated DVDs for RM10.

let's play spot the fake(s)

What a massive movie collection u have there!
