Downhome Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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. http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdhacks.php 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...
Nighthawk Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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.
Karnage Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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.
Downhome Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Posted April 21, 2004 Where can I buy those WWF PPVs from UK? Also, where could I go to buy Puroresu DVDs?
Anakin Flair Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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.)
Mole Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Buffy season 7, to compliment season 6 which comes out next month. Damn, beat me too it. Angel Season 4 too.
Downhome Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Posted April 21, 2004 Isn't the entire Futurama series already on DVD on R2? Do they add anything extra to the R1 releases?
Anakin Flair Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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.
Downhome Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Posted April 21, 2004 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.
Fökai Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Where can I buy those WWF PPVs from UK? Silvervision.co.uk, or eBay.
Guest JumpinJackFlash Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Battle Royale, definitely. Take a look at the sequel, as well.
Guest Contentious C Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Let's just pile on and make it three recommendations for Battle Royale...Chiaki, mmmmm...
pochorenella Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 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.
Grenouille Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Also, where could I go to buy Puroresu DVDs? CD Japan usually has the best prices and keep the exchange rate as current as possible.

Guest Askewniverse Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 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.
razazteca Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 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.
