YESASIA: Reviews Written by Maya -

I bought this VCD version of the movie, and was a little skeptical about it as I have never owned a VCD. Also, it was my first time ordering from YesAsai at the time. Well, I have been scared away from VCDs despite their economical pricing.

I have a portable DVD player I knew would play VCDs and when I put in the movie for the first time there was no problem at the beginning. However, halfway through the movie (during a dance battle scene of all things) it began to act oddly. The image was distorted then the sound until it eventually froze. I took out the VCD and checked it for scratches or dust particles only to find it looking fine. I then proceeded to check my player and it was fine as well. It had been playing other DVDs just fine. I took the VCD to my computer and it did the same thing at around the same point in the movie (though not exact). Later, I tried to play another movie on the same player...and it no longer worked! Now I am afraid to try anything with that VCD. (After a couple months my player is working fine again, though)

Honestly, the only thing that kept me shopping at YesAsia again was that at I had purchased this VCD in a bulk order (I took advantage of the Popcorn Night). The DVDs I have watched thus far have all worked perfectly well. The service here has also been great thus far (I have made three more orders since). I simply stay away from the VCDs. I could have spoken up sooner or tried to return it but the hassle didn't seem worth it over less than nine bucks.

However, I am perhaps rewarding a bad product with more money! Because I enjoyed what I could see of the movie and will be buying the DVD instead. As soon as I get a Region 3 DVD player.....
