Has anyone seen reviews for these releases yet?

These will be in our next batch of screeners, so we are definitely going to have reviews some time later this month

Good news.

It looks like these have either been bumped to a later date or they have been taken off the release schedule. Yes Asia has them listed as not available while DDDHouse has a note that says "Expected in April 2011."

Were the HK releases delayed or canceled? I see that you can no longer order them on YesAsia and DDDHouse.

I saw a post on another forum that said something along the lines of DDDHouse sent out an email saying it was delayed due to a production problem.

Torrente · 04-11-2011, 03:32 PM

Why aren't there new release dates for the trilogy in HK?
Are they simply cancelled?

Are the taiwanese releases any good?
Did someone review them? I wonder if PQ are any good...

Thanks a lot for your answers...

LuFeng · 05-24-2011, 02:30 AM

I just ordered all 3 from renchi.com and it lists the HK ones coming out on may 27th. I preorder so fingers crossed

Torrente · 05-25-2011, 10:56 PM

Great news!!!

Please come back here to tell us how it went and your view on these releases

bdrun · 06-25-2011, 02:06 PM

The video quality of this blu-ray is bad, it is worse than today's DVD. Can't figure out why it's so expensive if this kind of video quality. If you have PS3, maybe you can get better video quality by playback its DVD release.
The only reason for the price, I think maybe that's classic, that's all.

From what I have seen:

these look fine to me.

drees5761 · 06-27-2011, 03:45 PM

Look good to me too, tempted to get these but am waiting for the Hong Kong releases, if they ever materialize!

from the screenshot 1920x1080 pictures, scale it to 720x480 then scale it back to 1920x1080, you will see no much difference between the two 1920x1080 pictures, so it can be confirmed that it's dvd upscale.
