No, it is not a naughty movie Jennifer Love Hewitt is a Hollywood actress!! I have this movie in my collection, I bought it hoping it is a SteelBook but it is a just a Star MetalPak but since it is not that expensive, it is not really a big loss.

Oh, if "what you are thinking" is what I think "you are thinking", haha, then you should be ordering Emmanuelle from amazon.de instead

Hey guys is this the only blu-ray version avalaible?
Is it region free?

I bought I Know What You Did Last Summer, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer & Can't Hrdly Wait and I'm looking forward this one because it's Jennifer Love Hewitt.

If you guys no if any of her movie is released in blu-ray somewhere else and it's region free LMK.

Thanks,
Gui.

I have a copy of this. It is Region Free but the movie is 1080i50 so it is no good if you do not have a TV that can accept PAL signal, or a blu-ray player that can convert PAL to NTSC.

I have just emailed Karl to get him to update it on his website, cheers!

JW, can you please update the listing to show the following:

Video: 1080i50
Audio: English & German Dolby Digital 5.1
Subtitles: None
25GB BD

When played on my TV, it displays Full Screen, so it is either 1.78:1 or 1.85:1, I don't know how to check for this unfortunately and it only specifies 16x9 on the backcover

If there is anything else you want me to check, I am happy to do so

sounds like 1.78, and the OAR is 1.85

Ok I'm totally lost now...
I have a recent 120 Hz Sharp Aquos LCD and a region A 80 Gb PS3.

Thanks,

Damn!
This is the unique blu-ray release I believe?

I believe it is a German exclusive. But the video quality really sucks on this one and audio is only Dolby Digital!! Unless you really want the MetalPak, I wouldn't really bother with this one. I only got this because it was initially advertised as a steelbook and it is the only MetalPak in my collection.

That said, you did say you are a "Jennifer Love Hewitt" Fan so considering this title is so cheap, I guess it is worthwhile getting this next time you are ordering something from amazon.de.

Here is a photo of the inside that I have taken to tease you

my understanding is pal/ntsc does not matter with HD video material, only SD material. am i wrong?

It does when the video encode is not 1080p. AFAIK, there are two variants of 1080i encode, 1080i50 and 1080i60. This title is encoded in 1080i50, basically the HD equivalent of PAL SD which won't play on most US TV. 1080i60 like the ones found on Torchwood series will play okay on US TV.

A solution is to get an Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player which has the capability to convert PAL video to NTSC video. Most importantly, this player can be made Region Free. I have a RF player of this player and I love it. Here is the link to an unofficial FAQ page for this player.

Since I am taking photos of this release, I have scanned the backcover as well. Perhaps add it to the listing?

Why would I get it if I can't play it?
I want a blu-ray that my region A PS3 can read...
