Not to brag, but I ordered mine from dddhouse and they shipped it out yesterday. However, with your express shipping you should have your copy before the rest of us

Just got the e-mail saying my item had shipped...but no tracking code is listed on the order. Does YesAsia not use express couriers with tracking services (e.g UPS, FedEx)?

EDIT: Never mind, YesAsia updated my order with a DHL tracking number and it looks like it's on a plane out of Hong Kong now.

Mine showed up from DHL at 10:45 am today (Good thing I was there to sign for it!) and the images on the cover and all information is the same as pictured in the thread.

Hopefully, I will be able to check out the PQ/AQ later today.

Let me know what you think of this and Mad Detective. And like I said, before commenting let MD set in and PLEASE read the essay booklet that came with it...

I'm a bit of a "busy bee" right now, as I'm in the middle of a move. Vengeance is what I have access to now; Mad Detective is in another location. So I'm hoping to watch Vengeance tonight or tomorrow and then Mad Detective in the next week, but I will read the booklet AFTER having watched MD.

Brad1963 · 12-15-2009, 11:04 PM

Mine arrived in the mail today. Can't wait to check it out.

Sagacious Koreo · 12-16-2009, 12:07 AM

Awesome. Then mine should come in real soon as well. Can't wait.

McCrutchy · 12-16-2009, 03:44 AM

I should quickly note that the English subtitles (which contain a few spelling and grammar errors, but are entirely understandable), are also present during English dialogue, and there is no way to clear the subs during English without disabling the entire English subtitle track.

PQ seems very good but not stellar, and the DD 5.1 audio track has VERY LOUD gunfire.

Will report back regarding TrueHD tracks shortly.

So has anybody who ordered this through DDDHouse gotten their shipment yet? Just curious and I know it hasn't been terribly long. Thanks

Still waiting on my copy from dddhouse also, maybe Monday...

rich_adamson · 12-19-2009, 02:51 AM

Cool thanks, I'm just getting really anxious as I ordered this and Founding Of A Republic, Accident, and City Of Life And Death, and can't wait to watch them all. I'm still hoping for tomorrow, lol!

i'm in the UK. i've noticed DDD shipments are quicker when you order more and there's a signature required - sometimes arrive in 3 or 4 days. if it's one or two discs, it can take (sometimes) two or three times as long to arrive.

You might be right about that. When I ordered 5 DVD's the order was shipped next day. My one disc order of Exiled Blu took six days for Johnny to ship.

ZeTi · 12-20-2009, 07:25 AM

Is the Blu confirmed to be Region A only ?

I think that varies a lot especially at this time of year. My packages have all taken 7 days regardless of the number of discs.

my larger ones take 3 - 4 days, usually. fastest shipping i get from anywhere, if it's about 5 or 6 discs. if i have 1 or two, it takes (sometimes) upto 2 weeks.

JimmyMcNultyMackey · 12-21-2009, 01:08 AM

As ZeTi asked, is it region locked? Because i want to buy the HK BD, since it has english subtitles (i have a Region B player).

Clueless_Monkey · 12-22-2009, 11:26 AM

Just got my copy. It's locked to Region A!

I'll post screen shots later.

EDIT: Here are the screen shots, looks like a bit of DNR was applied: http://www.asianblurayguide.com/capt...ng_kong_china/

rich_adamson · 12-23-2009, 02:34 AM

Yeah, the PQ isn't as great as I had hoped, but its still more than passable... I guess after struggling with what claims to be HD (Highlander Season 1) anything looks pretty darn good at this point.
