I just got the UK import from Sony for around $31 delivered for the first season. PCM sound and AVC video and I'm happy with the quality of the set. Those Canadian sets seem pricey but it will be interesting to see how they turn out. If it ever came out in the U.S. I think Paramount would be the studio handling it.

HMV.com is selling both seasons for 36.99 GBP. http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...;-1&sku=845053 With both in one shipment that will save on shipping. I have a ton of Qs:

Can you confirm if this is region free? Are there any special features in SD (PAL) that one would lose out on when importing to North America? Are the discs BD50s? Anyone know if the Canadian versions will be a different encode?

Bullseye · 10-03-2008, 12:03 AM

Already have season 1. Will certainly pick up season 2. Great show.

Deciazulado · 10-03-2008, 12:31 AM

Amazon uk also has the 2 seasons for £36.98 The Tudors: Complete Seasons 1 And 2

Strange as this is not a BBC series.

Deciazulado · 10-03-2008, 12:35 AM

mmm... Titles fixed from original listing from Amazon. Thanks Bullseye.

Actually it is, sort of. Showtime takes credit for it in the US, and the BBC takes credit for it in the UK. It is the same exact series, however.

The UK import is region free. There are special features in standard definition but to be honest I haven't even played them yet so I don't know if they are PAL or NTSC. The set consists of three maxed out BD-50s. Sony did a very good job encoding the Tudors so I can't imagine it getting any better.

Good news, thanks. I trust Sony's quality at this point, so I am going to pull the trigger on the UK set (besides, I'm in it for the PQ and AQ of the main feature, not the extras). If you do get a chance to check the SD content that would be appreciated. I see that some sites say the discs were "encoded for regions A/B/C"; this seems to imply that the extras should work as well.

Clark Kent · 10-03-2008, 09:55 PM

I just tested my copy and the extras are all in NTSC so they play on a Region A player.

Today is full of good news, Thanks Clark!

I'm especially interested in knowing what UNCUT is all about.
These were on Showtime, known for "no limits" I can't believe the network disapproved of anything.

Me too......... I just got the Season 1 & 2 collection from Amazon UK ........ and now I see Canada has an UNCUT version of them coming out.

rondanto · 10-22-2008, 12:26 PM

To my way of thinking they probably just mean the series is presented as shown on cable

I think so too, I doubt there is any difference to the UK versions. They are just marketing it towards an audience who has potentially only seen it on free-to-air TV (in Canada?)

SpaceDog · 10-22-2008, 01:23 PM

I'm surprised that with the materials ready to go, nobody is planning a US release to curb imports.

Hep · 10-22-2008, 01:43 PM

I received my Tudors Seasons 1 & 2 from Amazon.co.uk yesterday. For anyone on the fence about importing, IMO the two weeks for delivery is quite acceptable. I haven't had a chance to watch any episodes yet, but from what I have seen from the couple of episodes I managed to catch on CBC HD, I think I will be pleased.
