hey everyone.. i purchased a full frame DVD of this movie a couple weeks ago at the Flashback Convention and i love the hell out of it. My plan has been to buy the Big UK Speical Edition that comes out on September 6th as i have a Region Free Player...

my question is this...

i ordered the Region 4 S.E. of Dawn of the Dead over at PlayAsia... and i see now that they have Shaun of the Dead on DVD there available on the 12th of this month!!

Can anyone who knows, tell me if this will be the same special edition that will released in the UK a few weeks later? Cuz if so..im gonna get it now! I cant find any details on the special features or ANYTHING there... so if anyone knows about this Region 3 version..lemme know! thanks

You must be talking about the Hong Kong DVD. I don't know what will be on it as far as extras are concerned. Usually the extras are the as on the US/UK/Western releases. Like with the DAWN OF THE DEAD remake or the Hong Kong DVDs of films like FREDDY vs JASON and TRAINING DAY.

One way to make sure would be to just email PlayAsia and ask them. They ought to know.

You are right about R4 = Australia but maybe you should read Donnie's post again ... He asks about the R3 of SHAUN OF THE DEAD which must be this one here:

That's the Hong Kong version. I don't think there's an Australian DVD of SHAUN at this time.

I got that same full screen one at Flashback (and yes, the film is awesome) but I think I'll just wait for the US dvd when it comes out.

My region free dvd player has a pal converter and all, but movies in 2.35 seem to suffer a little bit in the converting and the image is a little stretched. Kinda like the S4 of Angel I got that is letterboxed (flat, but still widescreen) but shows up as full frame on my tv. I'm wondering if it's because as of yet I haven't got around to getting a S-video cord for my 2nd dvd player (cause in it's video options screen, that's the only option my tv will take...right now I'm using rca cables and running it thru my vcr and then to the tv....I have no idea if running a s-cord straight to my tv like my main dvd player will make any difference or if it's just the PAL converter on the player itself.----anyone with more knowledge of this, I'd be happy to hear some advice.) But Region 3 and 4 which are NTSC play just fine. And most of the region 2 stuff I have is BBC stuff like Stone Tape and Ghostwatch and Quatermass 79 and some old movies like King Kong, etc which are full frame anyway...and those look fine...but I digress.

If you get the R3 Shaun, please post how it is, the extras, etc. I'd love to have a proper copy of it earlier that the US dvd if it's worth it.
