Re: casino royale
Hi,

I'm sure i read somewhere that Casino Royale is region free on blu ray.

I'm not 100% though...

I hope so as i also heard that the R2/B was cut by the BBFC. Not sure if the R1/A is uncut though.

Be nice if someone could confirm...

The film wasnt cut by the BBFC, I think it was a case the BBFC offered the version of the film with the torture scene extended a 15 certification but the studio wanted 12A so they re edited the scene themselve to achieve the lower rating.

I believe this is the same for the States, so the versions should be the same.

Re: casino royale
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]The US version is marked as region A and will not play on my panny, can't say whether the region B version is locked but I would assume so.
I purchased from dvdslimited.com (they have a shop in hertfordshire) for £21.99 [/FONT]

Re: casino royale
Its a shame there website looks like it was made by my Mother!!

It is very very poor and is putting me off buying anything from them.... (sounds silly i know), but i don't know if i can trust a company that does not even put in a bit of efffort for there website, if they can't do that then what kind of service can they offer...

Also what is with the Region A HD-DVD ???

Re: casino royale
I received my casino royale from playhd yesterday. Ok the web site is not the best, but if it says in stock I have had it next day every time, even had a email from them asking me what free dvd I would like!!

Top service!

Re: casino royale
Mine turned up this morning from Playusa. The 'coming soon' Blu-ray demo at the start looks impressive, I will be watching the main movie tonight.

Belive in the force young skywalker..

My copy arrived from playhd this morning, not bad considering i didn't order it until 4pm the day before.

The website does look badly made but they are 100% legit. To be honest i don't care how good or bad a website is made. As long as the price is right and they aren't ripoff merchants that's good enough for me.

Re: casino royale
At 11:50 this morning (Saturday) I put my order in to playhd for Casino Royale.

At 18:06 this evening (Saturday) I received an email from them saying the order had been shipped.

If it arrives on Monday then this won't be the last order they get from me.
