I went onto this site
http://www2.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/navigate.do?ctx=12;-1;-1;-1&pGroupID=5 and I was confused because apparently on this site, you can buy Shaun of the Dead on DVD. Is this true? Can you buy it now?
yes it appears to be out on dvd, i wonder what the regional coding is like...
i figured it was already out in the uk becuase ive been hearing alot of reviews about it.
Same thing happened with "Snatch" I think. Was available on DVD in England when it was still in theatres here. British film, makes sense that it may be available there first. I would advise against buying it tho, unless you know your player is capable of playing DVDs from different regions.
Well, I ordered Shaun of the Dead so wish me luck on the region code:)
You didn't make sure first? Unless you specifically bought a region-free (not commonly available, leastways not on the shelves of your local electronics retailer) player or one that specifically plays region 2 DVDs, you just flushed that money. Of course, if you watch DVDs on your computer, I suspect some clever geek has come up with a way to play DVDs from any region on the PC. Maybe. Google is good for you, and can help keep the wallet fat.
