Out today

Here's hoping it's region free.

Anyone purchase it?

I think your best bet is to get in touch with Stephen Dawson (that's his username). He's a reviewer from Australia who always checks for region compatibility via region code and 1080/50i issues.

Yes, I'm very interested in finding out if this one is region free. It's easily one of my favorite films.

I love this movie to... Scarlett is HOT! :eek: :D

Oh and if you find out if it is region free please post it... :)

I don't think Icon locks their titles. I'm not crazy about this movie but I loved the ending, most filmmakers go the somewhat less interesting route(that's the best way to put it without spoiling the whole movie).

agreed on the ending, any news on coding?

I love a few "scenes" in the movie... ;)

I've PMed him several times recently. No response.

I was going to say that the chances of this being region free are very good since it was listed by Phantom Sound & Vision as an import on Amazon recently and they usually only do this for Region A-friendly titles. However, it looks like the listing was discontinued sometime today so who knows.

Here it is for reference:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002689ATQ
EAN: 9339065001914

It is region free ( i have both a region A & B Player) and it is also 1080/24p unlike some other icon releases.

Its a very solid transfer , perfect for this type of movie. Audio is only 2 channel offcourse , this being a woody allen film.

It says the item has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Where can we purchase this?

I got a copy on eBay for $30 USD shipped. I'm sure that is a little bit of a premium, but I'd rather have this one sooner than later.

Here is another place that reportedly has it in stock:
http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/805320

They ship to the US.

Instock to me-

Region A player...crap!

I'd be careful, a few of Icon's recent releases have been region free, but 1080/50i. Therefore they do not work in US equipment anyway.

So it played fine in both players? :)

I am ready to order just need Region Free confirmation... :eek:

Damn, region B! I guess we have to wait... :mad:

The description on the site listed above specifically reads region B.

They ALWAYS read region B by default. This means nothing.

He just said above that it's region free.

I will order it and I guess we will find out... Here's to hoping... :)

I have a good variety of players here and will report back soon... :)

Do we know what the audio track is? Obviously it's mono but is it lossless?

Mine is on the way... :)

So region free?

Didn't even know this out out until I saw this thread. Mine's on its way from DVDCrave. Terrific film, but similar in many ways to Woody's own Crimes and Misdemeanors, but more enjoyable.

So region free?

Guess I will find out for sure shortly...

S.Johansson was so sexy in this movie with some hot scences.If I were this guy I would choose her instead of the orther rich girl.The sound should be remixed again to be HD sound.:D:)

Just purchased it for about $23 shipped from Devoted DVD.

Awesome. It seems many of the places are running out of stock already!

I just noticed my purchase price was around $27. :eek: I better do a better job of "googling" next time...

Matchpoint works!!!! In all of my players so far (Pioneers, Pannys, PS3, Sammy and more).... :eek: :D :)

It is region free.

It is region free.

Considering it has now worked on all 9 of my different players I would say, YES.

The pic Q is very good to. I am damn happy it works over here :)

Devoted showed out of stock. Must be on back order.
Crave showed 5 in stock last night.

Yeah, well, it was in stock when I ordred it. I guess that wasn't very accurate.

When I ordered from Ezydvd it said IN STOCK but I received an email shortly after saying it was actually backordered. It did ship 3 days later though. I guess they don't keep their sites updated as well over there...

I got mine delivered on Thursday. I think it looks great, but one thing to check for is my player defaulted to the DD track instead of the DTS-HD MA track.

Scarlett looked great! ;)

Here are some screenshots, hopefully not too many. There is a very slight amount of EE that I can see in some scenes.

Spoiler warning if you are sensative to that sort of a thing!

Now those are pics! :)

For those of you who have it, do you think it's worth a purchase if I already own the standard DVD? I love Match Point and Woody Allen so I'll probably buy it anyway, but I'd like to hear anything extra. Thanks!

For me it was worth it for the extra better pic Q. Same reason I like Vicky Christina Barcelona on Blu ray...

Thanks for the captures. Ordered from EzyDVD for $28 US shipped this morning... already on the way!

The frame rate according to the BDInfo scan is 24fps and not 23.976 fps.

From dvd crave

Order #9** has now been picked and will be dispatched throughout the day.

What the heck is this supposed to mean?
Since I only ordered 1 disc I hope they will reconsider and dispatch it all at one time.

That's just how they say, "Your order will be shipped today." No worries. :)

The frame rate according to the BDInfo scan is 24fps and not 23.976 fps.

I noticed that too. This is the case with others who have done BDInfo scans on this encode. Seems like a strange error to make, but I'm not very knowledgeable about this sort of thing.

Uhh...i'm a wee bit pissed. It won't play in my PS3.

Yeah, I just tried it in my PS3 as well. No dice. Argh.

At least this one wouldn't be region-locked. Interested if anyone has picked this one up.
