PH Indicator Limited Editions HELP!

[StevenWest]

I'm in love with some of these PH Indicator limited edition releases. But I'm getting duped by many sellers claiming LE (Limited Ed.) where they are in fact STANDARD releases now.

Is there any good site or seller that has the 'real deal' and can be trusted?

Hi @StevenWest

 

What country are these realises / Retailer is this line from .

 

I personally have not herded of them and it may help if you could tell us a little more so we can advise further .

They're a British publisher distributed through Lime Wood Media, and this is their current list of Limited Editions;

I like these folks much better than Arrow, as their booklets and features are really enlightening. BUT not all of their

releases are Region Free, and is hard to tell the Standard from the LE. Other than front cover will be a bit shorter for

the regular BR release. I was lucky enough to get The China Syndrome and Eyes Of Laura Mars Limited Editions, but

kinda got duped on getting Christine and Hardcore versions. And like all us collectors, 2nd best really just isn't good

enough!

Hi there @StevenWest, my fellow Canuck  🙂

 

I've been buying PH Indicator releases for quite some time and my two best sources are Amazon.uk and Zavvi.

Yes, many of their editions have been Region A/B for play but not all (as you have discovered).

I personally have not got a list available saying which ones are, as having two region-free players makes the point moot for me.

As you have indicated access to their own site, you may know by now anyway...heh.

 

You may wish to consider at this time, picking up a Region-All Blu-ray player, since the deeper you get into this hobby, the more you will be exposed to some incredible releases that are not Region-A.

There are quite a few on the market right now, for reasonable coin. My two personal preferences would be;

- #1 = Panasonic

- #2 = Sony

 

Reliability beats "bells and whistles" any day of the week and these two brands give me the best comfort per dollar.  🤗

I've been eyeing this EVERYTHING player by Sony that apparently can handle all formats and grades. But it's around the $200.00 still. And my cash flow has been on the TIGHT side lately. But one of these days I may take the plunge. I have a All Region Phillips DVD player which isn't bad in my bedroom, and a handy portable UDME(?) All Region DVD player which I can truck around with, and also hooks up and plays easily on my larger living room TV. Currently have a Sony BD player which I really like in the living room, and wish there was a way to hack it for Region Fee. But have already gotten WCL's 4k version of 2001: A Space Odyssey still sitting in it's box. So I'm gonna have to UPGRADE one of these days, whether I like it or not.

^^ @StevenWest;

If you elect to upgrade your system in the near future to 4K, be aware that all 4K discs are region free by nature...🙂
