Call me stupid, but isn't that a bit soon after the film hit the silver screen?

I am amazed to see that http://www.cd-wow.com are selling the 2003 edition of "The Italian Job" for release on 7th October 2003!!!

(Region 1 available to pre-order here http://www.cd-wow.com/detail_results...59&affid=12846, £14.99 but they supply internationally)

I agree. It's all very strange though - don't you agree?

Strange but great

This movie came out in the states some months ago.....already it is showing in the discount movie theaters.

That said, I still have not seen it. Can't imagine it will be as good or as campy as the original.

This is quite normal. Some DVDs come out on region 1 before they even hit the cinemas over here.

Just make sure that your dvd player is a region 1 player or is multi regional.

chancer · Sep 22nd, 2003, 10:05 AM

i guess it must have stiffed to be released so soon
$20.99 on amazon.com

Hat · Sep 22nd, 2003, 10:11 AM

careful - like chewie says region 1 is US only

Play are doing Gift Set for £21.99 which includes the 1969 & 2003 versions if anyone wants both.

http://www.playusa.com/playusa.asp?p...1&title=132406

Otherwise http://www.playusa.com/playusa.asp?p...1&title=132406 for just the 2003 version.

I have found play.com and cd-wow the best online DVD shops around.

If you want a multi-region DVD player try www.techtronics.com

They had it on the Spiderman DVD

spod · Sep 22nd, 2003, 12:31 PM

RCE is on a few DVD's like Spiderman (as mentioned above) Charlies Angels and a few others. I think its only really used by one manufacturer. If you have a chipped DVD player its not a problem anyway.

So my chipped pre RCE Sony DVD player would work?

spod · Sep 22nd, 2003, 01:27 PM

Some players also have work-arounds. For example my brother has to put in the RCE disk, it says it wont play, then he puts in a valid R2 disk, then puts back in the RCE disk and it plays - something like that anyway.

Other players you can switch to manual region changing this will also work with RCE disks.
