erosatire Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I live in the USA and was excited to order my copy of Live Au Parc Des Prince on Blu-Ray...but Amazon.com now says the title has been "discontinued by the manufacturer." :-( Does anyone know why? I'm guessing the Regionless PAL version available in the UK won't work on my equipment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the Regionless PAL version available in the UK won't work on my equipment... oh no! that's bad news! i ordered the standard version about three weeks ago, and it said that it was being released on december 2nd. of course, now they sent the email that in fact it was being released on the 16th, which we already knew, i had just hoped that maybe it would be released on the 2nd.

erosatire Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 This thread was about the Blu-Ray edition. It is true that there are TWO regular versions (including an Amazon.com Exclusive Deluxe Edition] that are available for pre-order. The Blu-Ray version still comes up if you search for "Mika blu-ray" but with the explanation that it has been "discontinued by the manufacturer."

erosatire Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 So...has anybody tried playing the PAL DVD in a PS3 aimed at a NTSC TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTwat Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It's still available at amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/MIKA-Live-Princes-Paris-Blu-ray/dp/B001DWEYXI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 So...has anybody tried playing the PAL DVD in a PS3 aimed at a NTSC TV? As far as we can tell, the DVD is playable in all regions -- it appears to be coded Region 0, which would allow it to be played everywhere.

nico_collard Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Good thing for us then! I know you guys said it's released in the US on the 16th (which is weird cause it was released here on the 17th of November or something... OMG, maybe he cares a lot about us Aussies! ), but I have to wait till Christmas for mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the Regionless PAL version available in the UK won't work on my equipment... UPDATE: The Amazon.com site in the U.S. is once again offering the Blu-Ray release!!!!! The release date is Dec 9th. In the meantime, I ordered the UK version (Regionless, PAL). Surprisingly, it plays perfectly on my PS3 and Sony LCD (NTSC) TV (both purchased in the U.S.) Woohoo!!!

Christine Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I picked up a Blu Ray disc in the UK last week and it works on PS3 in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I picked up a Blu Ray disc in the UK last week and it works on PS3 in Canada. Yes, does it ever! And a big "thanks" to Christine... ... as zoots, closetmikafan and I were able to finally have the experience many of you in Europe and Australia have been posting about for weeks. But it was so crystal clear that it gave Christine a headache last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTwat Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 In the meantime, I ordered the UK version (Regionless, PAL). Is that a standard or deluxe edition? I've been looking everywhere for a deluxe edition in regionless PAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Is that a standard or deluxe edition? I've been looking everywhere for a deluxe edition in regionless PAL. Are you sure you need it? I got a regionless NTSC and it worked in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTwat Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Are you sure you need it? I got a regionless NTSC and it worked in the UK. Not for me, I'm fine with regionless NTSC. *shrug* But I have a collector (read: OMPS ) friend who would prefer PAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know the ones coming out of the UK are NTSC. Some are being advertised as PAL but that's not what the package says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
