Just received Hard Boiled on DVD from CD-WOW (region Free supposedly) and when I slapped it in my Xbox guess what? A damn CD read error! Anyway I have forked out for a new DVD player despite getting reassurance from their technical support centre that it would work fine on my Xbox. If it was just one DVD I would probably send it back but I am also expecting a Better Tomorrow and The Killer in the same format and I have wanted a multi region player for ages now.

Anyway, has anyone else got the ARIANET SLIM LINE DVD 2255 MULTI-REGION 5.1 DVD PLAYER?

Cheers!

Ahh right, cheers. I didn't know which way round it was. If I am desperate to watch it I will but my new DVD player should arrive next Monday or Tuesday so I will most likely wait.

Yes it would be green if you use an RGB cable. Use the cables that came with the PS2 as they are composite and will not give you a green screen.

It was the start of proper slow motion but I believe the Witchowski Brothers took it further and turned it into Bullet Time.
