RE: Play.com

Some times they do, sometimes they don`t. Ordered three the other week and Seven Samurai came recorded but the others didn`t. Odd.

RE: More big news at Elland Road...

Sparkster, I hope you are not suggesting that The Mirror is anything other than a gospel of all things football....

Personally I don`t give a toss about Bowyer anymore... hope he leaves soon. Come on El Tel!!

RE: What football team do you all support?

Leeds.... and AC Milan.

www.hkflix.com - any good?

Anyone here used www.hkflix.com before, and if so are they any good in term of service and delivery times?

RE: O`Leary Quits Leeds shocker!

Risdale just said on local news `not to worry` about Rio going to Man Utd. Just to put 2 + 2 together (and probably come up with 5), O`Leary said he knows who will take over and they were already in place, and Hiddink said he had an offer from an English club. My mate (who`s a Villa fan) reckons it should be Venables, but anybody who says "if any team could form a good wall you`d think it would be the Chinese" is out of it......

RE: Very funny.....

Someone was on about this at work today. I thought they were having a laugh!! Obviously not. Stick to rate my body instead! Not that I`d ever visit this site myself, mind.....

RE: Battle royale sounds quite cool, am i right?

BR is class. One of my favourite films.

RE: Princess Mononoke

Sorry- the book is about the film`s director Hayao Miyazaki and his other work and came in a box set with the film. It`s R2- but I haven`t seen it anywhere recently.

RE: Princess Mononoke

My copy (the one with the book) works fine. I hope your new copy works OK because this really is an excellent film.

RE: Manga Titles??.....

You can find loads of stuff at:

http://www.animecornerstore.com/

It`s American-based. Never used them myself, though, so I can`t say what they are like.

Enter The Dragon Boxset

Just how many postcards are there meant to be in the set? Web sites say ten, the back of the box says nine and they were only actually eight inside!

Although from the people who seem to luuurrrrrrvvvve these crappy snapper cases, this isn`t surprising!

RE: Enter the Dragon - Which Region ?

By the way, Play have the box set for £17.99, but it`s not in stock at the mo.

RE: Enter the Dragon - Which Region ?

The new R2 version is uncut. The box set contains some postcards, lobby cards and a press brochure, but as far as I`m aware, the disc content is the same as the special edition (which has been out on R1 for ages).

RE: play247 shipping question

Yup, R1 (from Belgium) not recorded, R2 recorded.

RE: Play247 usually ship within 24 hours????

No problems until recently. One order was supposedly despatched on the 8th and is yet to see the light of day, though this is the first time it`s happened.

Game Of Death Platinum Edition

Anyone looking forward to this HKL release? Not Lee`s best film, but the disc looks quite good.

Seems it features a restored anamorphic 2.35:1 transfer, commentary by Bey Logan, Dolby Digital 5:1 Audio as well as deleted scenes, photo archives, `Legacy of the Dragon` documentary, `Game of Death Revisited` feature, history of Jeet Kune Do feature and other stuff.... I think you can find the full spec at:

RE: Akira - limited edition tin box.

Neither do I really. It would be nice if it did come in the tin, but as long as the contents are the same I`ll be happy enough.

RE: Amine??

Talking of anime, Akira seems to have vanished without trace from the play247 site. Looking at my personal details and clicking the product link (I preordered it ages ago) revealed they`ve sold out! Mind you, it says `order taken`, so here`s hoping...

`Black Dot` On WS TV

A bit of a strange one, but a tiny black dot has recently manifested itself
on my Thomson widescreen TV. It is always in exactly the same
place (near the middle)- and it drives me nuts when watching DVDs!
It`s almost like that part of the TV is not displaying anything......

See... I said it was a strange one- I`m baffled. Any ideas?

Cheers.
