Topic: Ben-Hur CE Region 3

[firewired]

Sources from Warner Home Video Philippines confirmed that the long-awaited Ben-Hur Collector's Edition will be released in Region 3.

Front Page for the details.

Haven't seen this one. But from what my dad tells me, it's really worth a watch. Will get this one for sure.

Will the R3 version have a Bible Study Guide similar to the R1 release?

Sold 
Looks like my allowances next month are all alloted to Warner Phil.

[wrAth]

Will the R3 mirror the R1 exactly?

coz in the R3 forum, the R3 Gone with the Wind was said to be inferior to the R1. in terms of packaging, i think.

[firewired]

Standard packaging for special R3 Warner releases is usually a cardboard slipcase and plastic keepcases. Korea creates special packaging for certain titles. Region 1 CEs and certain box sets (like "Carnivale" and Matrix UC) still come in special digi-packs.

is this still available?

can't find this new release in stores.

There is one available at Astro Robinsons ermita.  But the cover art is defferent from R1.  Personally the R1 cover art is much better & aslo for the packaging.  the R1 is much better.  But for the price.  Pwede na ang R3.

i agree. gift lang sana for someone yung R3. super mura. layo nga lang ng robinson's sa amin.

i am getting the korean release premium box.

 

[hemisphere]

if you are completing the whole series, might as well get the R1. if you only want this set, puede na siguro ang R3. i got the R1 of the ff:

- Gone with the Wind (4 Discs)
- King Kong CE Tin (2 Discs)
- The Wizard of Oz (3 Discs)
soon.. An American in Paris CE


still thinking if i should buy both R1 and R3 of Ben Hur CE since the R1 Ben Hur CE - digipak (at least the one available online) has no more Bible Study Booklet. kung meron man, plus $10. the R3 release on the other hand includes the Bible Study Booklet but the discs are in amaray cases.. and the slipcase is not embossed. fair trade off.

 

[Mr. Hankey]

the R3 (Ben Hur) release on the other hand includes the Bible Study Booklet but the discs are in amaray cases.. and the slipcase is not embossed.

I'm assuming you're not referring to the Philippine R3? All it has is an insert with chapter stops, no Bible Study Booklet.

[hemisphere]

just seen a copy of ben hur at astro glorieta and it says.. bible study book included!

could it be that this is another case of discrepancy unnoticed?

 

[Mr. Hankey]

just seen a copy of ben hur at astro glorieta and it says.. bible study book included!

Okay... this is annoying. I'm holding my copy of it right now, and it does NOT say that anywhere on the package.

There are TWO releases local R3 releases, and I got the worse one?

Oh, crap!

[hemisphere]

two releases? what for?

the artwork is similar to this:



not sure if the disclaimer is printed on a sticker or front artwork itself. sticker perhaps.

 

[Mr. Hankey]

Yes, exactly the same:



Annoying.

[hemisphere]

yikes..

i remember getting this last year as a gift but didnt know if the booklet is included. i was surprised upon seeing the disclaimer last week.

[jas]

Also got the local R3 during its initial release & there is no Bible Study Booklet.

[hemisphere]

nakup.. for everybody's sake, i just hope im wrong.
