PCDL HK version
 

I read this review at YA:

Is it true? They put chinese hardsubs on the DVD? I mean, why would they do that? D: This is totally going to ruin the experience, man!

what @_@ i thought it could be turned off and that the TW press DVD can't? @_@

Really? I do hope this guy is confused with the versions, because I just ordered the HK version yesterday T___T It's not like I can afford the JP version anyway D:

they are going to take back all the old stock(which is HARDSUB) and re-release another batch where they improved on this :
- 16:9 anarmorphic
-subtitles can be turned off
-better quality (almost same as JP version)

Okay, when did they start doing that? I JUST ordered yesterday, but it's through someone else, and I hope she gets informed by this change >_<

so they won't redo the taiwan press then? @_@

oo did you order from ebay? maybe you can check again~

Nope, I ordered through YA, but through my teacher, my friends are also ordering through her, she's nice enough to help us since she's also ordering ^^

^wow your teacher listens to Ayu????
cool :D

No, she listens to Korean boybands, but since she offers us to make some orders through YesAsia together with her, it's all good!

not so sure about TW version since TW is having a sweet long public holiday...
wait till 5 june,if don't have any news from TW,i'll have to take my DVD unwillingly :grumpy

wow..your teacher is so good :love
i wonder if we can cancel our order or not.if can,i would suggest you to re-order it again at mid-june ( to wait the new batch of dvd )
i'm not sure if YA will shipping out the new batch or old batch since HK there will only exchange the DVDs start from next week if not mistaken

Oh man, have to cancel? I guess that's the best way, I hope she won't be annoyed with this. 0__0

i'm not sure that the current stock that YA has is the new one or the first batch.or maybe you can e-mail to YA to ask ?

Oh...I really don't know much about YA, actually. Just gave the name of my orders to my teacher @__@ how long does it take for YA to ship out anyway? Maybe if they haven't shipped out my copy, that means they'll give the new batch, right?

hahahaha...i can't help you,sorry...i never bought any things from YA.that you have to ask them.lol...

P/s :i found out that YA doesn't have an e-mail address ??!!

WHATTT this is confusing???

confusing?
sry..my english isn't very good...which part makes you confuse?

Hard subs? dang~~~

yeah, the HK version was actually remake from the taiwan version, so it is the same.
but i'm fine with the subs, i actually bought the hk version because there's chinese sub. i got the japan version already, but i really like this concert so i would prefer to have subs on the screen.
but i'm wondering should i cancel mine, and reorder again because the quality will be better....hmmm

i think the stocks they have on hand are the old one, so you will end up with the hardsub version

they don't.

you have to log into your account, and under your order, there will be a option to contact them.

I actually like the subtitles, lol, I thought it was a great addition so I could understand the concert. XD;;

So I didn't go and find out if I could turn them on or off or anything... well...

lol a DVD with subtitles that you cannot turn off is just pointless and stupid.

what the hell is AVEX asia thinking?? I hope they learn from this one, because to re-make all those DVDs are gonna cost them a lot of money

stupid idea ever! bravo AVEX

I guess it's nice if you can read Chinese, but not so nice if you can't.
I'm kind of glad now that I spent all that money on the JP press :dead2

i didn't know about the subtitles:(:(, i order mine a week ago and i guess it will arrived in this week:(.


all the dvds from avex asia will be like this? with subtitles?

because i saw that the newest concert of ai otsuka also says "subtitles:Traditional Chinese":no:(:(

*sigh* I find out about this today, and my order just shipped from YA yesturday....

wonder if we can exchange it with the new batch or not...
send it back to YA?

got email from yesasia! they are replacing the stuffed up DVDs for new ones... they already sent mine! :D

yuhoo..that's a good news !!!
btw,i've attached some screenshots of the new version PCDL at the news there

gonna check them out now :)

The defective copy thats been shiped, should arrive within the next two days. But a few days ago I got an e-mail for YA saying that they've sent me a copy of the fixed version as a replacement, free of charge, and I don't even have to send back the defective copy. So now I'll have two PCDLs.

I got the bad copy the other day... the subtitles doesnt bother me, the quality of the image is just ridiculous!! its sooo bad... its like watching from youtube or something... really really bad, the camera angles change really fast, and they dont even show ayu close up.

they also added the names of the songs when they start, and they named the song Days "Day".... arghh


the new DVDs that they sent better be good...

thats good if i can understand chinese subtitle...@_@

so..avex asia re-released PCDL for HK? im still confusing about this..>_<

^ Same here, I will get one on YA and is the Chinese subtitles can REALLY turned off/on and the picture quality is now better?

well, the bad quality makes the angles look really weird, and the image looks dark and blurry. I can hardly see ayumi's face during the concert :S


thats why I'm hoping the new DVDs are a lot better.

i think the angles are okay...some blurry shots are meant to be as a special effect.and i think this time,PCDL 08-09 is the best one.(i meant the angle and the effects that they are using)

by the way,i think the new version one only make changes on the video quality and not the angles

ohh ok! I think it will be fine if they fixed the quality in this one :)

hahahahaha....it will be much more better now,ithink and i'm satisfied if the quality of the video is ALMOST SAME as the JP version.

When someone gets the new version let us know! I might just get the HK one if the quality's better than usual! I still haven't seen PCDL yet! ;__;

yaya..update us....by the way,is the booklet and the cover colours different from JP version?as i can see,many said OS version will not be as nice as JP version...it will either yellowish or greenish..what about this time?
i'm deciding which version should i buy.HK or TW?
and about the subtitle,is it they are using proper chinese or the HK slang?

I just got my replacement DVDs for the HK version today (2 days after getting the original ones), and I must say that the quality is much better! Now I enjoy the concert a lot more since I'm able to turn off the subtitles!!

I got the replacement discs today. I'm a lot more happier now. Even the subtitles look better lol

thanks AVEX (?)

The subtitles are Traditional Chinese. I don't understand what do you mean by "proper chinese" and "HK slang" if these even existed :shrug

rofl....sry for my poor english...
the HK slang is the way HK people type like what you watch in those HK dramas
while my proper chinese is the traditional or simplified chinese where the language is known and common by the chinese people.not like HK slang where only or some of the chinese ppl know.hope you can understand what i'm talking about :p

they should add English subtitles next time!!!!

I see... Oh well, xD

I think that they should do Chinese and English, in Singapore and Malaysia they speak English also, so yea

hahaha..glad that at least someone understood what i mean and thanks for telling me :love:love
i don't think this will happen for the time being since in malaysia,not many will buy it (very low demand).
somemore they need to hire another translator to do the translation job.it will cost quite a lot to hire a translator just to translate it to english
