My preorder of the title was cancelled a month ago so probably not It sounds like Arrow was hoping for a solution before December 11th and when that didnāt happen well here we are.
As a spaghetti western fan what I hope for is the best possible release to come out so therefore hope that it can be settled somehow.
Me too, but I feel bad for all the people who got hyped about this release only to be let down. I guess I am lucky that I never got really excited about it.
Got my Texas Adios yesterday! Mostly got it for the extras and it just struck me how nice and charming both Franco Nero and Alberto DellāAcqua come across in the interviews. After seeing DellāAcquaās brother interviewed in the Sartana box it was nice to see this, just seemed like a really cool guy!
Can anyone confirm for me if the UK Texas, Adios standalone blu-ray by Arrow is region free or is it region B locked, please? I might order it from ebay.
Hey, all! I was fortunate and received my copy of Django / Texas, Adios. I enjoyed a rewatch of both, and watching in-motion it seems that the new transfer of Django does look better than the old BU release. But that is just my opinion.
The Texas, Adios transfer was really strong, but there were about 4 instances of some pretty big hiccups. The film transfer was very fluttery. Did anyone else notice this, too? Just want to make sure it wasnāt a defect.
Virtually everything they only release in the UK is region B locked and everything they only release in the US is region A locked. Sadly. Only the ones released both in the US and UK are region a+b so Texas Adios could very well be that.
I donāt know which US-only titles youāve checked but Iāve got C.H.U.D., Dillinger, Pray for Death, Rage of Honor, Creepshow 2 and Bride of Re-animator and they are all region A locked and the same is the case for most UK-only releases. I know there are some region free releases but as a general rule they are region locked.
Island of Death is one region free I bought. Bay of Blood is one I imported which i guess is region a, b and when looking at the others I have I guess they are also A,B so I assumed they were region free when they played in my region locked player
Looking them up I still canāt confirm they are actually locked because sites just say untested or unconfirmed
Island of Death was released both in the US and the UK so that would be region free. As I said there are cases when the āruleā doesnāt apply but as a general rule Arrow do lock down their releases when only released in one territory. The region A releases I mentioned are all locked down.
All of the titles I have have been released in both areas but generally are listed as locked when I donāt think they actually are, so I just assumed that none are despite what it says
I bought some titles from uk before they were released here or to save on amazon shipping and even tho they are listed as region b they play fine
Anyway, like I said you obviously would know better than i
Somebody on Facebook having imported the region A-set said that both discs played well in his region B player so my guess is that the region B-released Texas adios is aswell. Probably the very same disc. Waiting for 100% confirmation is probably a good idea though
Yeah it seems that they say the discs are region locked when they actually arenāt. I guess this only applies to titles that are released in US and UK because this is all I have bought and wrongly assumed they just listed regions based on country you are purchasing from
