Sorry guys but I need Crows Zero 2 (DVDRip). I have the LQ one but I wanna get the better quality one for my collection. Any idea where I can get it? Torrent or DDL. Thanks in advance. ^_^

Did you check the site I mentioned in the previous post?

Hello,

Yes I have but they did not have it and they seem to be down at the moment. Are there any other sources?

Thanks in advance.

I just checked and they have the first Crows Zero, but not Crows Zero 2...

Other sources?

Hmm... Maybe Veoh?

I've only seen the LQ dvdscr version around. I have never seen a true dvdrip quality version. So a dvdrip might have never been shared by anyone, imo.

Thanks guys, I'll try searching other places too. If not, maybe buying the DVD on eBay/somewhere else might help in collection.

Amazon Japan?

Might be sort a pricey, though.

[ik0n]

I found the Crows Zero 1 and 2 on eBay for $25-30 each. You think it's worth it to get it for that price or I can get it somewhere else cheaper?

I dunno... What do you think of the price?

Are they bootlegs are actual DVDs from the manufacturer?

[ik0n]

Hold on, here are the links.

Crows Zero 1: Link

Crows Zero 2: Link

Hopefully they are the right ones, tell me what you think.

[bmwracer]

^ Hard to say...

But I'll bet that the cheaper one is just a DVD rip... The other one is overpriced, IMO, especially of you can buy it from Amazon for $25USD.

But you're looking for #2, not #1, huh?

[ik0n]

Hey,

Yeah at first I wanted the second one because the one I have is terrible quality, I still watched it but I think it's a movie that deserves to be watched in good quality. About the first one, I have that too... The quality of it is a slight better. But when I thought about buying the DVD, I thought to my self that why not get both of them instead for the sake of the collection and of course for those two being great movies.

I don't know this is hard, I looked into Amazon too like you said and it does seem like fair pricing, they don't have the first one though. And I can't seem understand nothing on Amazon japan, obviously lol. But yeah I'll think about it.

Thanks for helping me out with this.

At the Amazon Japan site, there's a "Click Here to see English" in the upper right corner...

Be forewarned: Amazon Japan's shipping costs are outrageous, sometimes more than the item itself.

Hey, yeah I later found out about the "English" button, silly me. Anyways, I'm gonna be checking out a local store that sells Asian DVDs such as Anime and Movies here around my area. Hopefully they have it.

Now lets get a little off-topic. Check this trailer out of this movie.

I don't know but it looks interesting to me. According to IMBD it was released in March 2009. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1237958/). I doubt it's subbed huh?

Only one way to find out: check Amazon Japan.

[ik0n]

They have it but guess what sucks? I just read the information on the item and the DVD type is Region 2 which cannot be played in US/Canada DVD Players, Xbox etc. Only Region 1 disk work in here. Time to look elsewhere.

By the way, all DVDs from Amazon Japan are like that. Just letting know. ;-)

There are DVD players (Philips) that can be hacked via the remote to turn off the Region Code.

I have one and use it to watch my Nodame and other Japanese Region 2 DVDs...

And there's a software program (DVD Region Free) that'll let you watch any Region DVD on tour PC as well...

Generally most cheap (no-name brand) players are region-free by default, or can easily be made so as beem mentioned above. It's usually the well-known brands that are less likely to be hackable.

True say.

You'd be hard pressed to find a Sony, Toshiba, or Panasonic that was Region Free or Region Free hackable.

Ouh interesting, then I might consider it. So what I understand from both of you is that if I do get it from Amazon Japan it won't be waste in the end and I'll still be able to watch one way or another.

Thanks!

I think so... Of course, you're in Canada, so there might be a remote possibility that you could have a problem.

You might wanna read up on it over at videohelp.com... A GREAT source of audio and video information.

There's also another site, hmv.co.jp that also sells internationally... And their shipping costs appear to be more reasonable.
