PCDL DVD question

Guys, just a question, I´m about to buy PCDL DVD in Yesasia, but I realized the obvious: japan version is too expensive, and Hong Kong version is a lot CHEAPER, I readed here time ago, that HK version had problems about image quality, hard chinese subs, etc., but then I remember those problem were fixed, even in HK version description in Yesasia, says "enhanced image and optional chinese subs", so my question is, actually, Have japan version and HK version the same image quality?

And here I was reading about package too, package is the same as japan version?, because people said japan version´s package was a lot better or more beautiful than HK version, so maybe HK version is a cheaper version in package too?

Sorry bother but I really want this concert, so I want to be sure about this before to buy

Thanks!!!

For me, I find that the difference in image quality didn't make much of a difference unless u watch it on a big screen or something. And packaging is quite identical I'd say.

HK press is actually a very good buy, if you don't mind the subs. I'm not sure if they're optional, maybe someone else can clarify this?

on normal tvs, the HK version and the JP version look the same, but the paper quality is indeed poorer, and doesn't feel as glossy.

and the region code is 3, while the jp version is code 2, so just make sure that you can play it before buying.

that's about it.

Since you are buying from yesasia, you should be safe and getting the edited version, for other members who are reading this, be careful if you are buying from auction sites or used copies, you might be getting the earlier version(chinese sub unable to turn off and poorer quality).

Please check and ask before buying
