RE: Region X for the Xbox - Availability ????

Good idea, thanks.

Can you or anybody please post a link to suggest a company who would be able to do this?

RE: Region X for the Xbox - Availability ????

Thanks for your help.

It`s uncanny how we can "read" these big corporations when they start getting all moody and protective about thier products.

Region X for the Xbox - Availability ????

Does anybody know why the Region X (multiregion converter) for the Xbox is not available anywhere. I`ve searched countless sites worldwide (even tried Ebay), with no joy. Most say "currently unavailable" or "temporarily unavailable", but I suspect that it has never been sold ever.

Have Datel just not bothered to develop it or have Microsoft got all legal and prevented its sale for some reason?

Any help or info would be useful.

Scandinavian (R2) DVD`s - Where to buy?

Does anybody know any good websites selling Scandinavian region 2 DVD`s?

I`m trying to buy "The Big Lebowski", and "The Man Who Wasn`t There". For both films, the Scandinavian R2 version is better than the UK R2 version.

Best multi-region disc for PS2.

Has anybody any advise on which is the best "region-free" conversion disc to use with the Sony Playstation 2.

I`ve noticed that there are several to choose from, some remove the "green-screen" problem, some require you to buy an extra memory card (£25 !!), and some will disable some of the functions of the official remote control.

My TV is NTSC compatible, and is connected with a scart lead.

Thanks for any help.

Hard Rain - Region 3 - Where to buy ?

Does anyone have any suggestions where I can buy a region 3 copy of Hard Rain. The R3 version has a DTS soundtrack as well as 5.1. I`ve tried Coolashop, DDDHouse and HKFlix, but non of these hold this title. Thanks.

RE: Godfather 5 disk box set still £29.97 at Comet

Thank`s people, just got back from the Bury St Edmunds branch. The display copy didn`t have a price on it, I took it to the front desk and asked for a price, the assistant scanned it as said "£29.97 sir".....I couldn`t hand over my Visa card quickly enough.

RE: The Italian Job - Released in June ????

I modified the first quote to fit with news of the release date, but there are loads more...

"Hang on lads, I`ve got an idea"
"Remeber is the country, they drive on the right side of the road"
"Your car?, Pretty car" (in Italian accent)
"I hope he likes speghetti, They serve it three times a day in Italian prisons"

.... I could go on all day.

The Italian Job - Released in June ????

It`s only time to blow the bloody doors off !

At last it seams the wait my be over, check out this page from Play24/7, according to our friends there, The Italian Job will be released on June 3rd `02. Previously this page had a "deleted by the studio" message.

One of my favorite films of all time, I`ve been waiting along time for this one. Not many bonus features listed yet, with luck these will be added before June. Time to start the endless Michael Caine quotes, and singing the Self Preservation Society.

Selling or exchanging used DVDs

Can anybody please suggest some good sites for selling or part exchanging unwanted discs.

Beyond Jurassic disc and collectors case.

Can somebody please tell me if the R2 version of Jurassic Park 3 contains a special-offer-card which enables you to obtain the "Beyond-Jurasic" bonus disc and the collectors box to hold this and the three films.

I purchased a Canadian version of JP3 last year, this had the offer enclosed, but I cannot use it from outside Canada.

My plan is to buy an R2 version of JP3, send for my box and bonus disc, that way I`ll have just one film to sell-on. Failing this I`ll buy the trilogy box set, but I`ll have all three films to off-load, and I`ll have to wait a month for DVD-Boxoffice to send it to me.

Any suggestions?
