Lovewrecked

[nopseud]

This is plea for help, directed to the Finns coming over to Camp Sparkle.

Apparently, 'Lovewrecked' is for sale on DVD in Finland. I found it in this on-line shop, and maybe it's for sale in other places too. However, registering on the site and buying it has completely defeated me. (Also, I'm assuming that it's English language with subtitles, but I'd like to check it isn't dubbed :-)

Would anyone be willing to pick up a copy for me and bring it over with them? I can either send you the money, or I can pay the equivalent for you as part of your final Camp Sparkle registration payment.

Me too! Me too! *waves hands around* Will be willing to send you money either via Paypal or in some sort of currency at Camp Sparkle!

I can get you a copy too, no problem.

(telling this to nopseud also)

etsu_88 just told me that it's available at the HMV back home in Singapore, so I think I'm getting mine that way, but thanks!

I still can't believe it's available back home! Gah. It'll be Region 3 or course, but it'll be much cheaper. It only costs about 8 quid.

I can definitely buy you a copy. And don't worry, only little children's movies are dubbed in Finland. :)

The cover is probably in Swedish or Finnish, but I don't think that should bother you too much.

Thank you! That would be very cool of you.

I think having a Finnish cover would just be a happy reminder of the insane lengths I'll go to to collect sparkly footage. :-)

The entire movie can now be downloaded from JM for example. Do you still want the DVD? I can get it, no problem, but I just wanted to make sure. :)

[nopseud]

Do you still want the DVD?

Yes, please, if you don't mind. It's the crazy completist collector in me :-)

[rikes]

Excellent! I'll wait for a little while in case somebody else wants a copy too, and then buy it.

Oh dear, is it too late to ask that you pick one up for me, as well? I can PayPal you or pay you back at Camp Sparkle, just let me know. And if I took to long before replying to you here, then shame on me and don't worry about it. ;)

You're just in time! The only thing is that it's region 2 as I'm buying it here, so make sure your DVD player can play those. :)

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Oh, piffle, my player is naturally Region 1 and far too cheap to play anything else. Is there a way to check if my computer will play a Region 2 DVD? If not or you don't know either, don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll find it in Region 1 someday; I just thought it would be fun to add to the Camp Sparkle experience, a relevant memento to remember our weekend by.

Go to my computer, right-click on the DVD drive, choose properties. From the device tab, choose the correct drive again and click the properties button. Choose the region tab, and it should say what your current region is. Or at least that's how it goes in my windows XP in Finnish, so the exact wording might be a bit different. :)

Or maybe you could borrow a region 2 DVD from somebody?

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Ooooo, nifty!

*pokes buttons*

Hmmmm, my computer is also Region 1. It says I can change the region... ..but only a limited number of times (three). So I could watch it once, change the drive back to Region 1, and then if I ever watched it again, it would be the ONLY thing I could watch (unless I bought more Region 2 DVDs, lol.)

So thanks for the offer, but I guess I'll have to pass. I'll pick one up in Region 1 format someday or another, no big deal.

Thanks!

OK! :)
