Wow, this is great news. Hope we have promo tie ups again.

that's great although the giftset seems tempting.

You mean they will not produce a Region 3 for this DVD? They would import the Region 1? That's great!!!! Because their production of Disney DVDs are unacceptable. Look what they did to Sleeping Beauty. So, should i cancel my orders at online stores since we will have it here? Please advise. Thanks.

Just to clarify, R3 Disney DVDs are produced by Buena Vista in Singapore. Viva is just the Philippine distributor so they have no control over what version is released in Asia.

But to answer your question, yes, the R1 version will definitely be available locally, though in limited quantities.

thanks firewired. Saan pwede mag pre-order nito, since limited pala ang copies nito?

firewired · « **Reply #6 on:** Sep 23, 2003 at 02:20 PM »

We're working on it. Keep your fingers crossed...

boybi · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 23, 2003 at 03:13 PM »

ito ba ang ire-release dito?

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #10 on:** Sep 23, 2003 at 03:21 PM »

that's the gift set boybi... i dunno kung magbebenta rin sila ng gift set, but for now i guess it is safe to assume na yung 2-disc dvd pa lang muna ibebenta nila.

diver · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 23, 2003 at 03:38 PM »

I want this too , sana matuloy yung promo

I only want the 2 disc set though

No official price yet, but this 2-disc set will probably be in the same range as LOTR Two Towers which retailed for P1,200.

How come they are releasing R1 DVD? Can it be R3?
Pwede na ba to? Di ba the Philippines is on R3? Please
clarify?

firewired · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 23, 2003 at 07:26 PM »

I guess when the VRB allowed the entry of the R1 version of Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring last year, it set a precedent. We'll probably be seeing more of these legitimate "exceptions" in the future. As long as they're priced to sell, I think the consumers will be the big winners in the end.

Ang saya saya!
Have they also come out with special ed dvds of other disney classics like Aladdin and Little Mermaid?

Wow. Good news talaga. I hope the pre-order promo pushes thru!

a bit OT: i know this will break all the geographical rules about region coding, pero... sana kasi sinama na lang tayo sa region 1 in the first place...

Still waiting for a go signal from Viva. The Buena Vista team is still in Cebu for a sales conference.

I'll probably hear from them tomorrow.

Hey Dave,

Long time no post. But this is too tempting to pass off. Count me in. I need two copies, one for me and pioneer...if it ever pushes through. Any news on the LOTR: the 2 towers extended set, being released locally just like the 1st? If ever i want one of those too. Thanks and more power!
