My point exactly.....but the packaging of these pirates are getting really good. I would expect that quality wise it might not match, but then I don't have the cash to spare to buy both to compare :D

Is it just me or are pirates getting better?!?!

Haven't posted in a long time but this item really got me wondering. The pic below shows a "collector's edition" box set of 100 Disney movies on 110 discs with a limited edition metal gift box and retails for US$249.99 (offer price...down from US$499.99). http://www.idealbargainxp.com/imag...

UPDATE : Not too sure about this but it seems that the sale only affects Region 3 discs and Region 1 discs remain the same price. I could be wrong though....or you could get lucky and the person at the counter didn't notice :lol:

OK....I've confirmed it by calling up friends in Singapore and also contacting ScorpioEast Singapore's distribution department. They only have and are distributing the Gold collection DVD for Pocahontas. It is a single disc WITHOUT the extended version of the movie. As stated earlier, there is no R3...

Yeah I know about the TLM predicament. Even on earlier DVDs, they advertised TLM as having a special 2-disc edition but in reality is not true (similar to Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty!!).

I'm still not sure about the Pocahontas release though.

Hmmm...sorry for late reply. I wasn't around, anyways I haven't bought a copy of Cars yet. I don't think its worth the RM60 for the movie (although you can get the exact same LEGAL copy online for RM35). Seems like the feature is a 'hidden' one similar to the ones in The Incredibles. There isn't any...

I'm not 100% sure about this information but here goes: The R2 (red cover) and R1 (blue cover) versions of BATB were double discers. I'm not too sure if any R3 BATB was released in this arrangement. But basically the movie disc should contain the movie in NTSC format with English, Mandarin, Cantones...

This is in reference to an earlier post on this thread to winniedu77. After a little searching about, there doesn't seem to be any dubs for Alice in Wonderland in Mandarin Chinese anywhere...even the DVD pirates don't have a version with that track. Only Cantonese Chinese dubs available. It seems (a...

Pixar/Disney Cars (2006) double disc sets still available!!

I thought it was just a server sync problem when I saw this 2 weeks ago on the CDWow France website. Anyways, the region 4 double disc version of the Cars movie including the limited edition tin is now available from all the CDWow site (US, Hong Kong, UK and France) for £16.99. Only thing missing is...

Little Mermaid R3

Finally took a look at the R3 release of The Little Mermaid Special Edition at the stores here eventhough they've been out since Oct 4th. Its a 2-disc set but unfortunately NOT similar to the R2 or R1 releases. Both the Little Mermaid and TLMII are packaged together in the set (similar to the one fo...

Most of the recent releases are single disc only. The only double disc editions for R3 that I can currently recall are Snow White, Lion King, Tarzan, Mulan and Bambi. Alice in Wonderland was released twice - once as part of the gold collection and the other coincides with the R1 2disc version (but s...

Asian / Region3 DVDs

Just some things Ithat have been bugging me for so long. 1. Why do R3 (or other regions for that matter, i.e. R2) releases always seem to suck more than R1 releases. Case in point, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Lady & the Tramp, Toy Story 1/2 10th AE and BroBear was released as single disc ...

Retailing at RM69.90 (or approx US$18 ) some places are already selling at RM50....lowest at RM47 (approx US$12...
