I write because I think Moonlighting is special serie in the world ,the petition page have signatures of anywhere , coverall very numerous from Europe (spain,france,italy,england,scotland,portugal,germany,.............................) why not release for Europe?? who have the rights?? this situation is unjust, I think unfortunately never release in Europe
EUROPE WANT MOONLIGHTING NOW!!!

MulberryGal · 04-11-2005, 04:13 AM

Quite right too!!

Lots of us Europeans have joined with our American friends to get Moonlighting released on DVD, and when it does get planned, they miss us out completely! According to Cindy, I think this is because the company only have licence to release in the US and Canada. But it's very shortsighted only to release there and to miss out Europe completely...

Somehow, I think we'll be waiting for ages... I'm really thinking about buying a multi-region DVD player and just buying this from Amazon.com, but part of me feels I shouldn't have to do this!!

You are totally right! We helped with signing the petitions and stuff, they shouldn't leave us out!!

TheCursedRedBaron · 04-12-2005, 12:39 PM

Don't BUY a multiregion DVD player if you already have a DVD player at home. Google DVD hacks and see if you can multi-region it yourself, it's just codes entered via the remote control.

CindyK · 04-12-2005, 03:23 PM

To my international friends,

The DVD campaign does appreciate your support and knows that you all participated in a big way. I predict that when these Moonlighting DVD's start flying off the shelves, someone will figure out that an international release would be a profitable venture, and then may very well set out to release them in Region II as well.

So keep talking them up. And we will keep our fingers crossed for you.

MulberryGal · 04-13-2005, 04:29 AM

Thanks for the support Cindy. I hope they'll realise their error when half of America goes out and buys the DVDs!

The only problem I can see is that they might do what happened with the Pilot - in the USA you got a version with commentary by Bruce and Glen Caron, but the UK version doesn't have this at all. To me the main point of me replacing my old videos is so I have the extras like Cybill, Bruce and Glen Caron's commentaries!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Dutchie · 04-13-2005, 05:05 AM

yeah me too, I want the commentary!

(what am I complaining about, I have a region-free dvd player)

I will cross my fingers for everyone in Europe!

Tazmania · 04-15-2005, 01:27 PM

I just can't believe that the show will not come out on DVD in Europe.
It was and still is a hit-series in some countries.
If Dallas comes to Europe then so will ML!!

Carina13 · 04-16-2005, 02:12 PM

Uffff I hope they realese those DVD's in Europe, for god's sake!

Mmmm..... region 1 DVD's... can't be played in the computer with some codecs or something?

MulberryGal · 04-22-2005, 03:36 AM

Glad you agree Carina - great to see you here sweetie, it's been a while!

hello
can ne 1 tell me howi will find out if i hav a region free dvd player ???
luv chelsea xxx

Tazmania · 05-19-2005, 02:15 PM

Actually every DVD is region free you just need the codes to change region.
In some stores in Holland they give you a piece of paper with the codes on it.
I bought one of those, but if you have a brand like Sony, Poineer etc they don't give it away.
But there must be a site where these codes can be found!
Google on!!

chelsea_05 · 05-20-2005, 12:31 PM

thanx taz!!!

Tamm · 05-22-2005, 10:50 AM

Chelsea,
I just bought cheap Matsui DVD player in Currys. The multi-region hack for it is on the Currys website. Now I just need the DVDs to try it out!

MulberryGal · 05-23-2005, 03:35 AM

Great stuff, I must look up my DVD player and see whether I can make it region free as well....

Hey Tamm, are you pre-ordering the DVDs from Amazon then?
