I'd say you probably have to contact both Criterion and Amazon to make sure about this...
Jon Mulvaney said in his email to me that it was no problem to send a replacement disc to me in Australia, so I'm sure you would be fine as well.

Thanks for the info. I tried emailing him a while back, but got no reply. Figured I'd try asking here before emailing again.

Thing is, I want to send in White and Carlos together, so I'm holding out on the Carlos replacement discs before I send them in.

Yup, this is exactly what I'm going to do.
I'll post here if I hear from him again and when I eventually send back both discs.
Has anyone else sent back either disc and received a replacement?

Well, that sounds great! Carlos is now on the top of my buy-list (It was there in the first place until I knew about the problem :p). Amazon has it at great price too (I know, I know, $29 is still some cash but I seriously don't care when it comes to films I really want ;)). I am all set then, Carlos and The 400 Blows will be the next ones :rock:.

Yep. I'm surprised everyone keeps missing this and getting upset Criterion doesn't respond to their CARLOS emails.

Excellent. Videodrome is such a cool film.

Iz infeeriur. Teh Criterion iz bettah. Dontchu no dat? teh C maek ebreeting much bettah.

The Canadian non-CC release is 20 bucks, and it comes with a bonus DVD copy.

Fixed ;)

Hence me making my LOLCat comment. The Wacky C, it's got a cult like following similar to a certain electronics company.;)

I'm not all that interested in buying either version, but If I had bought the non-Wacky C version (because it came out first), I would have given the DVD away to someone else, rather than waste it like that. Not everyone's upgraded yet, and some people might not care if they get the BD version.

There's two other editions: the Canadian and the UK.
The Canadian one is reviewed at the other site and apparently stuffs all three parts onto one disc.
The UK one is reviewed here by Pro-B. It has all three parts on two discs and it has the so-called theatrical version on the third disc.
I used to own the UK edition, but I sold it to a friend and bought the Criterion. I wanted the extras on the Criterion and the theatrical version is a waste of time.
With the exception of the problem on the Criterion version during the third part, the Criterion and UK editions are of the same quality.

Hey guys...I have a quick question for those of you that use a region free player. Which player do you use and how do you like it overall?

I'm looking to replace my PS3 as my main movie player since it is making weird noises...

And on a Criterion note...I was able to watch the entirety of Fanny and Alexander's TV version last week, spread out over 6 nights, and holy crap it was amazing. I had read very little about it, plot-wise, before popping it in, and I do remember people saying the 1st hour and a half (part 1) was a little slow. While true, it was able to hold my attention as I enjoyed seeing all of the main characters and their introductions and interactions within the rather large Ekdahl family.

The rest of the episodes were even better as the plot picked up and you really get into the meat of the story. And yes, I'm being very vague just in case some have not yet seen it...

The other night, I finally decided to watch The Last Metro, probably my longest holdover from when I actually bought it and finally watched it. I liked it a lot...much more than I thought I would. I don't hear it talked about much, however, I do realize it was released within the first year or so of the CC blu output.

How do others on here like Metro??

oildude, appreciate your thoughts on those Japanese movies. Unfortunately, it may be a while before I'll be able to rent Eclipse 28, but i definitely want to check them out.

I've picked up the two Claude Chabrol releases from last fall; tonight it will be Le Beau Serge, followed on Tuesday by Les Cousins.

You may wanna check a few pages back as there are several suggestions. Among them: Momitsu and Insignia (from best buy for cheap).

I sent my white disc back and received my replacement.

I finally caught it on TCM a few months and liked it quite a bit. It's not high on my wish lists but if I ever see it in a plastic case at a good price it has high impulse buy potential.

One note about the Insignia that might get lost in the other pages: I agree with JoeD...the Insignia makes a great dedicated region-free player but might not be the best choice for a primary player. The networking seems a little clunky and bare-bones to begin with and you can't upgrade firmware without losing region-free capability.

I just use it as a region free since I got it in late 2010. Don't use it often, I also find it's a bit more noisy then other players but that just my own opinion. That being said, it does a great job for the price.

Well color me impressed...I placed an order with Eureka last Saturday afternoon and it was in my mailbox today. So basically a week for a UK order? I'll take that kind of turnaround anytime.

I got the dual format editions of Sunrise and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter and for those who care the packaging is pretty nice. They use clear plastic two-disc cases and the silver 'dual format' banner is on the exterior plastic wrap and not part of the case/cover itself.

They look pretty elegant, actually.

Exactly. That's why I mentioned the UK and Criterions are of the same quality; it's the extras that are different.
If anyone just wants the full version of Carlos and isn't interested in extras, get the UK version :)
