...does anyone know where I can get an R2 version of this?

Thanks in advance.

Haven`t seen this one around on R2... but you can get a copy of the R0 Hong Kong version from www.dddhouse.com.

This title is one of the more expensive ones on their site and works out at about £11.50 if i`ve got my sums right!

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that.

Do you happen to know if Region 0 discs play on Region 2 machines?

Where abouts is it on the site you mentioned? Could you send the full url to it.

Thanks again.

The DDDHouse site is a bit of a maze to navigate around but is worth it for some great discs at cheap prices.

Anyway go into the `Chinese / Hong Kong` section and scroll down past the new releases to find Bullet in the Head.

The DVD itself is R0 NTSC format which will play back on an unmodified UK machine. The only thing to check is if your TV is compatible with an NTSC signal. Most TVs by the major manufacturers have been supporting this for about the past 10 years.

This can be a bit hit and miss at times though, so if you can borrow a disc from a friend it might be worth trying that first.

Thanks.

Just a couple more questions if you don`t mind.

I was thinking of converting my player to multi-region, does that mean Bullet in the Head wouldn`t play any more if I did that?

You are right, they are cheap. Are they legit`?

Have you bought any yourself? If so, what was the quality like?

Thanks in advance.

No problem, glad to help...

R0 discs will still work fine if you decide to have your player chipped.

All the discs on the site are legit versions and yes I have bought from them myself. The service was very good and I seem to remember them taking about 4-5 days to arrive!

As for the quality, this varies a lot from disc to disc. Most Hong Kong DVDs tend not to be anamorphic and some suffer quite badly from grain. Its not all bad news though as the majority are pretty decent, certainly watchable and with clear subtitles.
