Re: OldBoy on Blu-ray Disc

Any ideas if it is Region B? (Region A player here)

Cheers.

Re: OldBoy on Blu-ray Disc

Its a UK region B release, however with both Tartans region free DVD history and the fact many UK Blu-rays are coded A, B & C, I would think it will work on RA

Re: OldBoy on Blu-ray Disc

I personally hope it's Region B only (though I doubt it).

I hope lots the offices of BD-only studios in the USA are full of 'OldBoy' fans who can't import this.

Maybe the disquiet in the typing pool might upset a few executives, and cause a re-think.

Re: OldBoy on Blu-ray Disc

Definitely picking this up along with Seventh Seal. Incidentally, you can pick these up at Sendit for £17.89 each.

Re: OldBoy on Blu-ray Disc

Judging by prices at Amazon, I bet you'll be able to import 'OldBoy' for less than £18.
