Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition

[Desdinova]

Hey, I was just hoping (and praying) that we would get a region 2 release of this fantastic 4 disc set. Does anyone know if there's a hope in Hell?

You haven't gotten it yet over there? Wow, that's terrible.

I'd get a region free, ntsc to pal conversion DVD player A.S.A.P. Why settle when you don't have to

[Desdinova]

Very very good point. I have waited and lived with average DVD's for too long! God bless America!

Hope is the beginning of despair. I agree, get a region free player and order it from amazon or best buy or something from the States... it is work the $100 for the player and the addition 40 or so bucks for the disks.... plus, I am not sure-- do you have to pay a VAT from the US, or is that only when we buy from y'all? My Chelsea kit cost almost $100 to have it made and sent to me here from the Chelsea Megastore.... B.O.C. is my favorite band of all time. Mirrors is my favorite album...Nosferatu,I Love the Night, and In Thee are my favorite songs, and Buck Dharma is the MFN MAN--although he is a little balder and and alittle chubbier now... aren't we all?

See if you can find a "handset hack" for your DVD player online. I found one for my Samsung and promptly converted it to region free. I've got a stack of region one dvds...as per usual, Region Two gets butt-fudged with "vanilla DVD" releases on many films - e.g. Sin City - I waited for the region one monster DVD to come out and got it for Xmas. I also bought the 2 disc Divimax R1 Day DVD and obviously got the 4 disc Ultimate Dawn R1 DVD as soon as it came out - and it's freakin' awesome. It is indeed the ultimate DVD and it's great to have 3 versions of the film, as well as some cool extras - and you get to see Cereval rocking the devil horns for the camera in the mall - surely that's worth the £20 alone!

I have made my DVD player region free and have a quite a few region 1 DVD's. However, I've not yet got The Ultimate Dawn yet because my DVD player is in my room and hooked up to a bog standard bedroom TV and I'd like to watch Dawn on the big ass TV and sound system we have downstairs and that DVD player can't be de-regionised (trust me I've tried). I think it's really lame that region 2 dvd's are either poorly releases with little or nil extras or take forever to come out, while region 1 DVD's are normally packed with quality extras. I don't know what the process of changing a DVD's region is but I'm sure if can't be that hard.

I think it's really lame that region 2 dvd's are either poorly releases with little or nil extras or take forever to come out, while region 1 DVD's are normally packed with quality extras. I pretty much agree with you here, but in some cases, Region 2 has the better release (Martin is one that comes to mind). This is why I need a pal to ntsc conversion player. In some cases, there is no region 1 release at all (Dellamorte Dellamore, Battle Royale, Spaced!). I don't know what the process of changing a DVD's region is but I'm sure if can't be that hard. You can use DVD Decrypter (or just about any other freeware DVD ripping tool) and that will remove the region coding. That is only half the battle though. You need to convert it from NTSC (29.97 frames per second) to PAL (25 frames per second), and that isn't as easy. Basically, any DVD player that can convert NTSC to PAL (or vice versa) will also have a region hack. The reason comapanies do this is so they can make several thousand units of the same machine, and can ship it all over the world. It would be more expensive for the companies to make separate players for R2 PAL and R1 NTSC. If anyone needs any suggestions on a player, I'd be glad to help. Before you ask me though, go to www.videohelp.com and look under the tab "DVD Hacks" and search to see if your current player is hackable.

PAL runs a little quicker than NTSC.

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks.php Give that list a try. If it works, then get yourself a Region 1 version! I found a hack for my DVD player and it worked great. pJ

Has the price gone down at all, or is it still 35 bucks?

[AssassinFromHell]

Has the price gone down at all, or is it still 35 bucks? I just picked up the UE...finally...the other day, and yeah, its still around 35 dollars. I would have passed it up for another time, but everytime before I did that, it wasn't there when I went back. So I figured, what the hell...

[Trancelikestate]

I got lucky and picked it up for 30 at the store i work at but we were trying to sell it for 50! haha, i bought it instead. but the only disc i havnt checked out is the euro version. i just always grab the extended version by default!
