Tell them you know it's available from pinoydvd. Maybe they'll take notice. Works for me. May clout

Got mine yesterday at around 4:00 pm at Astroplus SM Makati. It turned out they just released it and had to wait awhile since they hadn't encoded it into their cash register. Lots of copies there as of yesterday.

Cool cover!

Texted my contact yesterday (Astrovision Metro East), she said that she'll let me know kapag dumating na yung DE nila(hopefully today) and as usual asked her to reserve a copy for me.

Got our copy last night. After the watching the movie again, I will just say the only negative point of the movie was Katie Holmes! Damn, poor acting.

According to my reliable source. The 1st batch of Batman Begins DE – Lenticular is limited to 50 per video store (take note-not all video stores carries the DE on its 1st week of release, exclusivity rights were given to few who sourced out payment/pakiusap to customs).

At present, the current ratio of purchase is 1:3 (3 DE per buyer) a pretty moderate rate after a long enduring wait and ofcourse a piece of chance to those who wants to own one!

Why? You still got a chance while your nearby store is selling it to less than 17 buyers…

Else another long frustrating wait!

The franchise owner of that store, I guess did not slide any you know/pakiusap to customs. I hope my previous post ^ prior to this, answers why there is this certain exclusivity to video stores

got mine a few minutes ago.

Astro glorietta has less than ten copies left. Grabe bilis ng PDVD members...from 50 yesterday.

Funny, just when some of us were contemplating on getting R1 intead, biglang lumabas to...natakot hehehe

hemisphere · « **Reply #400 on:** Oct 26, 2005 at 11:53 AM »

just viewed Disc 2 and discovered the english menu... and foreign subtitles can be turned off through the dvd player's remote control. hopefully, this update has been mentioned already.

xage, where did you get the poster?

El Zar · « **Reply #401 on:** Oct 26, 2005 at 12:00 PM »

The DE came out when you were thinking of the R1? Big Brother (Astro?) is watching !

Watched the features on the tumbler and the fighting styles. That Keysi thing is a hit ! (Literally)
True that the lenticular cover on the DE is cool but not too detailed, but overall, the set is great.
And the foreign subs can be turned off !

Can't wait to watch it during vacation time. Thanks to firewired, pinoydvd and astro for keeping us all informed.

From Batman Delayed Edition to Batman Deluxe Edition. Now that most of our wishes were answered, I hope Warner can grant us 1 more and give us the Batman Anthology set. Mas OK kung may tingi-tingi para kahit paunti-unti nagkakaroon ng mga Batman 2-discs dito sa Pinas. Kahit Batman and Batman Returns lang muna.

Sana P499 din kasi wala ng comic books iyon.

got mine yesterday sa astro sm north, they sms me na available na so I got there and got it.

Medyo disappointed lang kasi except for the nice holographic face and the comics, this is ( I think) the exact Widescreen available for 499. No MTV spoof.

but hemisphere said he found the English menu and the subtitles can be turned off, while for the WS release, these were not true.

so maybe this is a different set, same cover lang siguro

Asked a friend to buy the DE for me at Astro Fairview. He just texted me awhile ago that the DE is not yet available in Astro Fairview.

darth mond · « **Reply #407 on:** Oct 26, 2005 at 01:39 PM »

Went to Astro SM City Bacoor as soon as i read na available na DE, but then the saleslady just gave me a blank stare sabay "wala kaming ganun" so i proceeded to Astro Glorietta (excited)

. Good thing madami pang copies. Saw couple of people buying din (baka pinoy DVD members din) The DE is worth the wait. Will be checking the Episode III thread more often naman hehehe

i think the MTV spoof is licensed for region 1 release only. discussion regarding this topic was covered in previous pages. english menu is available by choosing BAHASA in the language options. you may scroll til the end of the comics menu (which btw is in english) and you'll find the simple menu in english.

to make the subs disappear, press the subtitle button in your DVD player remote control till the "subs OFF" appear.

I will get it later

Actually, the posters are part of the Batman Begins sales kits that Warner released to retailers. If you ask nicely, the store managers might spare you a copy.

syoti · « **Reply #417 on:** Oct 26, 2005 at 06:23 PM »

just watched my copy of DE last night. ok naman un. i also found the English menu on the 2nd disc. if i am not mistaken. if you choose any of the languages except mandarin on the title menu you would be able to access the English menu. wierd no?

and sa disc 1, la pala audio commentary at DTS. anyway satisfied na ko sa nabili ko for 550p

as soon as i read your post, i immediately called astro pampanga and asked if they had the poster. wala daw pinadala sa kanila.
