Do we really need a thread for this already? The thing isn't out until next Fall.

Showing $199 (for 22 BDs, that's not bad. I hope we can expect the rest of the series as single releases now.
May have to sell my individuals (unopened w/ slipcovers) and buy this.

I expect the amazon.ca price to be ridiculous. I might just bite on the offer from .com though...

(a) That's why you need ways to play region-locked and PAL/50Hz discs just in case.
(b) If they actually issue new discs of the 12 EON Bond films that were previously region-locked (CR 2006, issued by Sony, was region-free), they will likely fall under current Fox policy, which is to make them region-free if Fox or MGM owns the rights worldwide (as with all Bonds except CR 2006). Unlike the U.S. (where the boxes still say only Region A regardless of actual region locks), if the film is region-free Fox UK packaging will say so.

I'm just hoping they release the single ones that haven't been released yet, but as steelbooks cuz my other bond steelies are feeling lonely lol

I agree that you need a multi-region player "just in case."

However, Amazon UK will take discs back that will not play in the U.S.

That is my "fall back" guarantee in case you do not own a multi-region player.

I've bought many discs that Amazon UK said were Region B but played just fine in the U.S. So take a chance!

where did you base you assumptions that these were region-locked? from the AMZ website? AMZ usually does those region coding even here in the States.

It's funny how many people still believe this will be Region B-locked even though (a) MGM/Fox doesn't region-lock most new BDs anymore--the few they do lock are owned by other studios elsewhere, not an issue with Bond--and (b) per the site you linked to (definitely more accurate than Amazon), the only Bond BD that was locked in Region B for its original release was QoS. (I wasn't aware of that when I made my previous post; only CR 2006 was region-free here in the States, and that's because Sony owns it.)

Though no one will know for certain till it's out, given current MGM/Fox practice this set will probably be region-free in both U.S. & UK. I expect more differences in terms of packaging and/or extras than region locking.
