International Releases too? - Blu-ray Forum

sydney_simon · 06-22-2008, 08:25 AM

I am an Aussie, I have a U.S. panasonic Blu-ray player, I buy the bulk of my movies online from the U.S. (I now have 200+ titles. I guess this is a U.S. site? PLEASE Can you start including non-U.S. releases on your site? Example: I just bought Sweeney Todd from Amazon.co.uk, it is not mentioned on this site if you search for it, it is region FREE. Does anybody else agree with me?

Thanks

Simon

It is mentioned in the import thread at the top.

Yes it is mentioned in the thread.... BUT you cannot search for titles outside of U.S. Releases. If you are rating movies and showing their Region coding details then you should be reviewing ALL Blu-ray releases not just U.S. domestic titles. Fair? If I came to this web site as a newbie and did a search for a title that was not available in the U.S but was available in say Europe and was Region Free and it did not show up n the search then that defeats the object surely?

I am also of the opinion that this site (amongst many others) is biased towards an American (or region A) audience. If I try to use the trading section as a buyer I get ignored because I am from the UK. If I try to sell something I get ignored as well. But it goes without saying that Americans make up for 80%+ of this forum.

There are many ways the forum could be improved, but getting it that way is about convincing the people at the top that there are enough people wanting it to justify it.

A European trading section is needed and your right, import titles need to be included with as much exposure as any other title.

I did notice a few asian titles showing up (Infernal Affairs, Infernal Affairs II, Protege) but those could be just because the reviewer imported them.
