Later tonight I plan to order a copy of HOTTN Special Asian Edition from here. Seems like a great price -- especially with free shipping. I'll let you know about wait time, any billing issues, if the DVD plays, etc. I imagine the DVD will be region 3 encoded like g4g's was. Can't imagine why they would bother to do that given the fact that most of the material on there is already available on Youtube. If you click the little flag on the upper left of the screen you can change countries/languages. www.wowhd.us/CD/greyson-chance-hold-on-til-the-night-special-asia-edition/dp/27309119#bc=1278Thanks for posting that RetiredOne. I was going to offer to send you one of mine, but my cost before I even mail it to you is already at $20.00, so the site you found is a much better deal. I will have some for our forum friends that can't afford to get it, hopefully in March.

Just a note for people who plan to view the DVD on their computer - computer DVD drives can usually change the region they can read for a maximum of 5 times before they're permanently locked to one region, so do take care how often you change your settings!

Good news everyone, while I was in the process of ripping the DVD so I can watch it without having to open the packaging again I noticed in the activity log that the DVD reported itself as having a region mask of 0. Which means it will play on regions 1-8, which is world-wide

Oh, Well that's cool that you're studying abroad, are you enjoying it? (I would have her ship it over!) Yes. Spain is awesome. Except for the taxes... which I would have to pay if she shipped it over. (No thanks, I'm not paying another 18% to import it...) I got mine here at YesAsia. They also have this version, and I guess I dunno what the differences are... Anything should work in a computer Haha.

i was looking at one on ebay & was wondering if every cd comes with the fold out poster. some of the cd's mentioned that on the label and others didn't. Also, if i have a brand new laptop should everything play correctly?

Also, if i have a brand new laptop should everything play correctly? Yes, the DVD will play in any reader The DVD was made with no region restrictions, as I mentioned above.

Also, if i have a brand new laptop should everything play correctly? I noticed on Ebay that there is a price difference and a weight difference between the Korea version and the Hong Kong version. Perhaps this is the poster, though I don't see how it could make a significant difference in the weight. I have ordered from both sources so I will let you know once they arrive what, if any, differences there are. Also, a friend in Indonesia is buying some copies for me so I will let you know about those as well.

I am going to guess it is the planner that is the difference in weight and cost?

I am going to guess it is the planner that is the difference in weight and cost? Right you are... to an extent. Received two more packages today. I will post an updated review as soon as I can. Hopefully, Retiredone will post a review of the version he has ordered once he receives it.

was the cd region encoded or will it play on anything like the dvd I don't think they code CD's. Mine plays fine on my 5 year old CD player. I'll try to update the reviews later tonight. I've learned a lot.
