I just have a question..Cant magna have like an imported copy in advance on preorder to show people what they will be getting. Sorry im new in this dvd thing, but what happened at king kong..Did we get the same copy as the entire region 3 (asia?)? If this is the same for whole region 3 I dont think its the fault of magna, However if we got is the so called "Philippines copy only or version" then I think magna should not accept it, anyway just my opinion. I dont really know how magna import, locally produce, package, distribute etc. so I cant judge them.
From what I know, in the case of
King Kong, the discs were imported, but the packaging was local. In the case of
Casino Royale 2-Disc, the entire product is imported, hence the customs delay that happened.
Can someone fill in some info for me thanks.. Also what is the difference between region 1 and region 3, is it just the packaging..Im really after PQ, Is there a difference in PQ between region 1 and 3 thanks.
If it's PQ you're looking at, for the full import products, they're usually mastered from the same source, so no difference should be appreciable. In the case of
Casino Royale, the R3 also has the advantage of having a DTS track, which will not be not present on the R1. I'm not sure if the R1 will have a glossy metallic embossed slipcase like the R3 does, either.
Even if you didn't avail of the pre-order promo and didn't get a free disc, the two-disc R3 is
still a good buy at 895, since I doubt you'll be able to find the R1 at the same price locally, and both versions have the same special features, anyway.
