So I found out that my DVD player is region free.

Today I found out that my little $40 CyberHome DVD player can actually play DVDs from all over the world, simply by changing a setting on the DVD player, that I didn't know exists. It has Pal to NTCS, so no worries about the video being all f'd up. It also has a feature where I can record any DVD to a VHS tape now that I also didn't know about.

 

If any of you want to check your player also, go to the following link and look up your player, they might be able to help you also.

Anyway, so I'm now interested in getting DVDs from other regions. I'm going to buy the R2 version of Swimming With Sharks for the commentary track and the Kevin Spacey profile, and a few others are on my mind. What else would you suggest that I pick up?

 

What are some wrestling DVDs that are out there on other regions? I remember hearing about some old WWF PPVs coming to DVD in R2, but I can't remember which ones they were.

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

I just got one recently too. I'm mainly interested in the region 2 Robocop set, though I already have the Criterion one. I think there's special editions of American Psycho and Trainspotting I'd be interested in too.

If you dig martial arts and stuff, check out the Hong Kong Legends line of DVDs from the UK.

And there's also those UK exclusive WWE DVDs that have old Royal Rumbles and Wrestlemanias on them.

Where can I buy those WWF PPVs from UK?

 

Also, where could I go to buy Puroresu DVDs?

Buffy season 7, to compliment season 6 which comes out next month.

 

or, you know, you could get the DVD's you owe ME (grumbles...)

 

Or, like it was stated above, Robocop or Predator. I beleive both of those had excellent Region 2 releases to counter the crap Region 1 releases.

 

If you want some good advice, PM Jay Spree. He has the advantage of, you know, LIVING in the Region 2 area (and has good taste to boot.)

Damn, beat me too it.

 

Angel Season 4 too.

Isn't the entire Futurama series already on DVD on R2? Do they add anything extra to the R1 releases?

[Anakin Flair 0]

I thought Futurama was all out in Region 1 already.

 

My computer's DVD program has the option to change to any region. I may go and buy Angel 4 for the hell of it.

Nope, only the first three seasons of Futurama are out on DVD on R1 as of right now. Season three was just released a week or two ago actually.

Silvervision.co.uk, or eBay.

Raging Bull:2-Disc Special Edition. The Region 1 DVD is empty without extras, but this one certainly has a lot. Plus, it's a great movie.

[Vanhalen 0]

Battle Royale:Special Edition region 2, plus I dont think its even been released in the US, its definetly worth picking up

[Guest Eric the Eagle]

Battle Royale, definitely.

 

Take a look at the sequel, as well.

[Guest Contentious C]

Let's just pile on and make it three recommendations for Battle Royale...Chiaki, mmmmm...

Silvervision.co.uk has those old Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble DVDs, they're up to WM3-4 (duoble DVD, I believe), and now they're also offering the first two King of The Ring PPVs on a double DVD set.

 

What else do you like? If you're into anime or japanese monster movies or the like there are tons of stuff you could try to get your hands on.

CD Japan usually has the best prices and keep the exchange rate as current as possible.

If you're willing to spend the money, Kill Bill Vol. 1- Limited Edition Premium Box Set (Japanese release) looks awesome. However, the set is really expensive.

Is that the Japanese release of Kill Bill that combines all of the chapters into one movie or is it just the one that has color instead of B&W in the scene vs the 88s.
