not sure why II wasn't listed yet, i want that one a lot more than III, but will have take all 3.

Great price too. Thanks for the heads-up.

There are 3?

Where is the box set?
I'll buy anything in a box, nearly anything. And I've been itching to see these.

i wouldn't wait =)

first 2 are must sees. 3rd one is not as good imo but gives the trilogy closure. 2nd one was very reminiscent of godfather for me.

Coming soon...I hope :)

Oh S&#%. You proved the pimp in sneakerpimp. I guess I'll start saving my pennies.
What is that promo thing from?

Is that "Exiled" listed, the Exiled I think it is? The one with the shooting and such?
If it is, then I want to see it.

I'm actually drooling over that box. Take that Godfather, Jack will probably be out in HD more quickly.
Nearly Half(well a lot anyway) of my BDs are in boxes, freaking cool.

oh hell yes, that box set is mine

too bad the third is a big let down, just like the Godfather trilogy

yes that is exiled. I'll be getting at least 6 of the above titles. Is there a release dates for these?
I thought that the 3rd theatrical version a let down, but the directors version much better. The film has quite a bit of subtles that requires more than one viewing and some thinking. The directors cut provides a resolution for Leon Lai's and Chen Dao Ming's characters. I believe the DC is superior.

Exiled is a must have. I can finally get rid of the HK dvd, and give a swift middle finger to Magnolia for completely dropping the ball on this one. DVD only for U.S. release.

[QUOTE=sancho89;13733228]yes that is exiled. I'll be getting at least 6 of the above titles. Is there a release dates for these?

Sweet it's the right one.

What else is worth checking out on that flyer? Those two on top don't look like my sorta thing.

The Warlords!

I knew they are going to release it on BD thankfully I didn't buy the DVD version.

A chinese odyssey is an excellent comedy. Its actually 2 separate films. It looks like this is a boxset too, I assume.
Days of being wild and As Tears go by, are both by Wong Kar Wai which means artsy films.
The warlords is pretty good too, wartime film.
Infernal affairs is worth checking out.
Perhaps love is a decent love story movie, but I like it more for the singing by Jacky Cheung.

I too held out on the Warlords for bluray.

WoW...excellent!

where is the best bargain place to shop for this title?

This is great news on the HK Blu-Ray front. I'm looking forward to Exiled in particular. And the more recent historical epics as blind buys.

How many of these will make it over to US as Taiseng releases? If so, I might wait until that happens since the discs will be identical, but much cheaper.

I'm buying all of them.

Yeah, I'll be getting all of these. :D

Nice... all I'm waiting for now is HERO in blu-ray!

Nice... all I'm waiting for now is HERO in blu-ray!

hero has two releases on bluray but the PQ is rather bad and there is no english subs on ethier release.

hero has two releases on bluray but the PQ is rather bad and there is no english subs on ethier release.

so far haven't seen any blu releases from edko. i believe they had both dvd releases of Hero and The Banquet.

since i already bought the first infernal and pre-ordered the third. i'll probably just buy the 3 separately. do we know if the trilogy will be different like it was for the 3 separate movies? i remember the trilogy dvd set had better quality for at least the first movie and also featured something else different from the 3 separate movies. someone please elaborate on this as i may cancel the pre-order and wait for the box.

That Infernal Affairs boxset looks nice... The one I'm waiting for though is Battle Royale. Don't care about the sequel, but I love the first one.

Are these region free?

EDIT:
Never mind I see that's all region's....

Is 'Exiled' the sequel to Jonnie To's 'The Mission' or 'Fulltime Killer'???

Assembly is released in the UK first week of May (I have preordered). Depending of when Internal Affairs trilogy and Exiled are released I'll probably import them. Havent seen any of them but good reviews of imdb and nice trailers on youtube have swung me!

Not sure if this is region A and it does not specify so I'd better wait.

Hong Kong is Region A. More likely all of them are region free.
I suggest www.dddhouse.com and www.buyoyo.com for imports. One may be cheaper then the other depending on how many items you order.

Its ok I live in the UK so no problems with assembly. Hopefully the HK releases will be region free (but from what i've heard they generally are).

Just received from DDD house my copy of Infernal III. I will give it a spin this weekend. I also should have Assembly next Mon or Tue.

Will let you know of the quality soon.....

anyone know if there going to be young and dangerous box set on blu-ray?

Will let you know of the quality soon.....

Great...looking forward to it.

Great...looking forward to it.

Just took a quick scan of the title and it is a step above the SD DVD but I found the PQ a little softer than I would like, but still good. This was the weakest of the 3 but since I had the first one, I went and ordered the this. Soundtrack is pretty good with DTS-MA 6.1.

Overall a decent title. I will watch in its entirety over the weekend.

The UK blu-ray of Assembly is region free. I watched it the other day on a US PS3. However, the extra features don't work.

Cool. Thanks for the update. I'm going to go ahead and order it.

Watch the entire movie - PQ is good, but certainly not top tier. I found it a little softer than usual. Certainly better than the SDVD. The soundtrack is good and has a pretty good punch when the situation calls for it. Those of you that have seen it know there is a lot of dialog and flashbacks here and is certainly not an "all action" like the others. This is probably the weakest of the 3 but when IA2 comes out, I will have to get that one and complete the trilogy.

IA2 posted today! Releases on May 8th

Any word on when that trilogy pack of all 3 on blu is coming?

That Megastar one sheet had a picture of the box set so I'll wait for that instead of buying III and II. I'm a little peeved to hear about the extras not working on the UK version of Assembly though. Guess I should have waited for the Megastar release. :(

III is already on the way for me so i'll just be ordering the 3 separately.

thanks for the news on II, i will be preordering soon when my paycheck gets deposited.

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered 2 (skipping 3 because I'm not a big fan). Now just waiting on "As Tears Go By" and "Days of Being Wild" to be released!

Now just waiting on "As Tears Go By" and "Days of Being Wild" to be released!

I personally would have thought ITMFL would have been released prior to these two, but I'm not complaining.

I remember I was laughing so hard I was in tears.

I remember I was laughing so hard I was in tears.

I had that problem throughout the 2 films. The entire opening segment with Stephen's 'affliction' and the voice modulation he's doing, the hairy feet and crotch stomping...after that all my defenses are down and I'm easy prey. Bastard.

I really hope the remaster quality is done well for that film.

Now just waiting on "As Tears Go By" and "Days of Being Wild" to be released!

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up man. Has anybody ordered from that site before?

I pretty much exclusively order my HK DVD/BD stuff from DDDHouse. They offer pretty good prices and are responsive to any inquiries that I have. I've placed about 7 orders from them so far and have been pleased. It takes about a week to get my orders from them, I'm in California.

Yeah, I've never had a problem ordering from DDDHouse.

me too, no problems with dddhouse. Usually takes 2 weeks to get to me.
Ordered the trilogy boxset and the andy concert. Can't wait

I used to get most of these imports from Yes Asia, but lately I am getting them from DDD house and they are quick too. Prices seem better at DDD house too.

Something is wrong with Yesasia's prices lately. From now on I will only order my HK DVD/BD from DDDhouse only.

I've been ordering from dddhouse for more than 7 years with no problems, got my first copy of Crouching Tiger there long, long ago.

That IA Trilogy box is a great deal, about $20 cheaper than buying them separately. I didn't care for IA3, but if I didn't have 1 & 2 already I would buy the box.

It's interesting that the original IA offered a PCM track, but the new ones don't. They do have lossless in the form of DTS-MA, but for those who can't use that it might be an issue. I'm glad the PS3 now supports DTS-MA so I could listen to the lossless audio on IA2 yesterday.

It's nice that we seem to be getting a relatively steady flow of Asian cinema on Blu-ray. Much more than I had anticipated this early on.

Recieved IA 2 and 3 yesterday and had a quick look. Keep your expectations low ladies and gents. Low bitrate AVC shows soft, DVNR'd and EE'd images with little fine detail. They barely justify their existence in the Blu realm thanks to excellent 6.1 DTS-HD MA sound (worth the upgrade alone for me), although the picture does satisfy the better-than-DVD minimum. It just doesn't go very far beyond it.

Artistic intent is an unlikely culprit here, the DVNR and EE scream 'video'. If I had to guess I'd say they're older HD masters from back when these films came out and were first transferred to DVD. HK has made great strides in their DVD production in the last few years, but they're not quite up to the highest standard and were even less so a few years back. Transferred to Blu these masters show their overzealous tuning for SD and lack of definition.

More recent films like Protege or Invisible Target feature much improved definition but still retain the noise reduction and EE problems. 1 down, 1 to go. Wonder when they'll get out of the squeaky clean phase that gives every recent HK movie on Blu the lovely texture of smooth baby butt. I'm glad they're putting these out there now, and I'm buying to show it, but it's becoming clear that new transfers will have to be done even for recent stuff to get the most out of high-def.

Thanks a ton Liersi for saving my precious $$$. The sequels seem to have followed the path of the prequel.

Just watched Assembly. Not a bad flix. I wasn't even sure what audio was cause I it said on it was DTS. Playing on my 3800 I was pleasantly surprised to see the DTS MA light up and the audio track on this movie has quite a punch on the lower sprectrum during the battle scenes. Not quite the same rumble as SPR during that tank scene but still pretty good. The battle scenes look a little washed out in color but that I am sure was the intent of the appearance.

If they give Exiled a crummy transfer, then I'm gonna be pissed. Don't care much for the IA sequels/prequels so I'll pass on this.

It was an awful shaolin soccer ripoff. I can't forgive myself for wasting 98min. of my life watching this crap.
Pick up "Protege" instead. It's like a modern chinese version of "American Gangster".

I have the bluray and it was an "ok" movie. Not the usual that I would expect from Chow but it was more family-oriented and more for little ones. Don't expect a movie like Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle.

wow, the review is pretty good. pic quality is also much better in 2,3 compared to 1.
Glad I bought it now.
Incidently, dddhouse had the trilogy preorder at 515hk$, then slowly went to 580hk$.
I got it before the price increase.

So did anybody else know that there are two different trilogy boxsets? One is region A only apparently, while the other is region free.

At least that is what I can gather from these two different links

http://www.dddhouse.com/v3/product_details.php?ProductID=8509

Is that indeed the only difference between these two sets?

5 dollars cheaper at dddhouse. Free shipping at dvdasian though....

They are the same box sets. I don't know which cover is the correct one, but my guess is dvdasian. As to region coding, if all HK Blu-ray to date has been region free. dddhouse ships from HK whereas dvdasian is based in US and ships from CA. Both are very reliable companies and I have purchased many, many movies from them.

I've been ordering from dddhouse for more than 7 years with no problems, got my first copy of Crouching Tiger there long, long ago.

You posted this on 5/13, but I received my copy of IA today from DDDHouse.com and all I see is the PCM 5.1 audio track listed on the back of the box.

When you say the newest Infernal Affairs now has lossless DTS-MA, are you referring to the IA in the trilogy boxset?

Please confirm.

mine is shipped. waiting for them to come to me. also ordered exile.

Do you guys know of any other source besides DDD House and Yesasia that sells HK DVDs? I'm also trying to find the HK version of the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony. So far the versions that I have found are the mainland and NBC versions.
