Return of the Asian bluray thread!

[handsome_rakshas]

Alright, since I'm back on CAG regularly I have to bring back my old topic.


ALWAYS CHECK HERE FOR RELEASE AND REGION INFO!

http://asianblurayguide.com/


A GOOD REVIEW SITE FOR TRANSFER QUALITY (Usually only covers region 1 releases)

TRUSTED ASIAN BLU SELLERS

http://www.amazon.co.uk/
You can find a lot of the Tartans and other releases that didn't come out in the US here. Way cheaper and they usually will ship to the US. Make sure you check the region!


[quote name='junglalien']For Blu-rays
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Region_codes

Region A includes most North, Central and South American and Southeast Asian countries plus the Republic of China (Taiwan), Japan, Hong Kong, Macau and Korea.

Region B includes most European, African and southwest Asian countries plus Australia and New Zealand.

Region C contains the remaining central and south Asian countries, as well as the People's Republic of China and Russia.

You need to be careful ordering from Amazon UK because many of them are Region B locked.

You are better off buying the Japanese, Korean, HK or Taiwan version because they are Region A like the USA.

I really don't know why someone recommended Amazon UK as a good place to buy Asian BDs. It is the last place I would order Asian BDs from.

Yes Asia is good.

I buy Korean BDs from K2DVD

There are many places I would buy Asian BDs from before Amazon UK.
ebay, CD Japan, HMV Japan, DDDHouse, Play Asia, etc

And you can't trust the Amazon listings for telling you what region code a disc is. The cases are often labeled wrong as well. You have to look them up at http://www.blu-ray.com/ or other places like http://www.asianblurayguide.com/ or http://bluray.liesinc.net/[/QUOTE]

That's awesome! Here's hoping they follow that up with memories of murder on blu.

 

[handsome_rakshas]

A US release of both would be nice.

I didn't even notice until now that Secret Sunshine is getting a US Criterion release. Another excellent Song Kang Ho film.

Well I broke down and ordered Battle Royale from Arrow last Monday. It came in within 7 days. Looks great too. I was quite surprised at the speed of shipping.

I think I'm one of the few people that wasn't very impressed with I Saw the Devil. But then again, I actually really dug Ip Man 2, but most people didn't seem to like it very much.

 

[NeuralFizz]

I really loved Ip Man 1, haven't seen 2 yet on Netflix. Although it's kinda disappointing that pretty much all of it is fabricated, but it's a great film.

A Bittersweet Life is my 2nd favorite Korean film, just behind Oldboy.wil be so nice adding another all time fav to my Blu collection. only a few more missing.
