Where can I find this movie?


It's now January 2004. I'm in Dallas TX. Can a showing or DVD for this movie be found anywhere?

reply

Maybe it is a Dallas-thing, but I too am looking to purchase the video. Unfortunately it is only available in Region 3 format and won't play on most DVD players bought in the States. You can always buy a multi-code/codefree player though. However since you live in Dallas, I'll let you in on some perhaps useful info. Premier Video (214-827-8969) off of Mockingbird and I-75 rents the movie and a Region 3 DVD-player all for the price of a regular movie rental. I definitely do not go there enough! It's a great store for movie-buffs. Hope this helps.

any acquiring tips for san-diegans? :)

I bought it from this person on ebay who I belive is in vancouver canada, he has his own website now and its www.lomte.com the copy I bought was under ten bucks and was region free.

reply

if it cost less than $10 and was region free, then it is almostly certainly a bootleg.

reply

I bought a copy of this movie from Canada on e-Bay that was Region 0. Bootleg or not the picture quality was excellent and this is typical of Canadian suppliers.

Go to www.yesasia.com.

I purchased the Japanese version. Sure, it cost me $60, but it is definitely worth the money.

Oh, and by the way, the Japanese version is ALL region, even though YesAsia says it is Region 2.

reply

yes, yesasia seems to have the largest selection of movies, despite there high price. just check to make sure the movie ur getting is worth it.

p.s. Ping Pong is one that is deffinately worth the money!

Hmmm... I found their prices quite reasonable actually, with postage paid offers for instance.

This http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1002525905/code-j/section-videos/ a Region 3 version of the movie.

do you mean that only Ping Pong Japanese version DVD is all region, or Japanese DVDs in general are actually all region?

In both cases, I highly doubt it. I have the Singapore version (region 3) of the DVD, so I don't know about the Japanese version. does it really play on all DVD players? that must be a freaky coincidence, 'cause to my knowledge, the Japanese are very, very strict when it comes to region control. I have loads of region 2 DVDs and they really are region 2s.

reply

The Yesasia DVD is indeed all region (eventhough the box says R2).

reply

try websites such as: ebay or amazon, u can usually get just about anything on there.

reply

I got the region 3 DVD from cdwow.com, (uk £5.99) or $9.95 on the u.s site. great film

Bought mine on CDWoW for 2 euro.

Japanese version on Yesasia? You mean this?

If so, that isn't the Japanese version. Is it just a mistake they made or something? Someone confirm please.

reply

I got mine from Amazon.com... Region 1. it was a little more ($18.99) but well worth it to me.
