Sweet Exiled and more importantly IA 2!
I think IA2 is just a wonderful film with gorgeous night scenes! This post has been edited by gfanikf: Apr 25 2008, 03:38 PM --------------------  |

holy crap. this great news. I'll be getting at least 6 of the above titles. I have the first infernal affairs. but I'm gonna get the box set anyway.
Is there a release dates for these? Also, any word on Jacky Cheung's 2007-2008 concert for blu-ray? |

DDDHouse.com listed IF3 for April 30th. No sign of IF2. CJ7 was pushed back to April 30th also.

Are any of these coming as TaiSeng releases in the US (I know Initial D is already out)?

Maybe Perhaps Love, since Tai Seng also released that on DVD in the States. We can probably rule out the Wong titles (held by Kino), the IA trilogy (held by Miramax and the Weinsteins), A Chinese Odyssey (held by the Weinsteins), and Exiled (held by Magnolia). It's possible those companies only have the U.S. DVD rights (which would allow Tai Seng to step in and grab the BD rights), but I believe it's more common for U.S. distributors to buy blanket "home video" rights than format-specific rights. I don't think Assembly or The Warlords have U.S. distributors, so in theory Tai Seng could get those.

QUOTE (sancho89 @ Apr 28 2008, 02:37 PM)  why tai seng versions? why not buy them online? Because Tai Seng versions are way cheaper than buying overseas from HK. I was able to purchase Initial D for $18 from Amazon on release day. My overseas HK Blu-rays have averaged ~$35 each including shipping. (Shipping really kills from buying overseas) -------------------- |

I've had a couple bad experiances with Taiseng versions. 1 dvd had vcd quality. 1 left out features. I paid pretty much the same price compared to the HK version.

I paid pretty much the same price compared to the HK version. Initial D was identical to the MegaStar version except for the cover. The problem is that HK Blu-ray movies are still pretty expensive and shipping for 1 disc makes it even more cost prohibitive. I used to buy all HK DVDs from DDDHouse, but then DVDs were cheap and you could order dozen movies to offset high shipping cost. -------------------- |

I just don't like Tai seng changing the content on some of their releases. For example, DTS was left out in a movie to fit on a DVD-5 disc. While the original had a dvd-9 and DTS. Cant remember which movie though. But their releases seems to be better than in the past.
But yah, Hk blu-rays are expensive, but it looks like its becoming a tad cheaper. I was surprised CJ7 was $25 at dddhouse. If only there was BOGO. Infernal Affairs 2,3 have DTSHD-MA. any word on if the first one in the boxset will also have DTSHD-MA? I have the first one but it only has pcm.
