Inquiry: How to Buy R2/R4 DVDS
« on: Mar 10, 2006 at 11:19 AM »
Hi.  How does one buy a region 2 or region 4 dvd here in the Philippines?  I'm interested in some titles that have no region 1 or region 3 release.   

Is amazon.co.uk the only possible way to get region 2/4 dvds?  Is there a local distributor/company/specialty seller?

How much does a region 2/4 dvd typically cost?

Thanks.

Some of the stores are

http://uk.towerrecords.com/
http://www11.cd-wow.com/
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/468294/203-3366080-0980758

No local distributor for any regions here in the Philippines.  You can only buy on line.  Prices from 1k up.

Region 2/4 DVDs here in Dubai costs:

AED100-120 if new & double disc.

AED69-79 if new & single disc.

AED 15-45 if luma na (kahit single or double or special collector's edition pa sya)

BTW, AED1.00 = Php14.00

Try the Virgin Megastore UAE website, they take orders, I just don't know if pwedeng dyan ang bagsak. Naka-order ako sa kanila last month ng region 1 box set DVD.

One way or another, you need to have 'plastic money'.

In some part of the States (U.S.), they charge you (or will not sell) for using cash, just to encourage the use of credit cards. Including here in the UAE, you'll have a hard time asking for a loan if you have no credit record.

The only catch is, you need to control yourself vs. overspending.

Like computers, it's one of those "the global way of the future" thingies.

I'll try to check the price of that DVD you want here...

HTH..

i tried using my banco de oro international atm card and it worked.i  was finally able to order from amazon.uk.co the dvd of a matter of life and death {1946} from carlton entertainment, it's a region 2 PAL dvd and i've been waiting for this dvd for around 2 years .

amazon.uk.com already emailed me that they have ACCEPTED AND dispatched my order to me this april 8, 2006 and the dvd will arrive AROUND  aPRIL 21 TO APRIL 28, 2006.

sabi sa kin sa banco de oro di daw pwedeng gawing credit card pero sinubukan ko at gumana naman kc inallow nilang mag transact ako sa kanila, amazon.uk.co.

very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sa wakas, ang dvd na to ay no. 20 sa greatest british movies of all time ng British Film Institute,and some even consider this movie to be the greatest movie of all time, world cinema included
