Magnum Mania!

To all European MPI fans who are dying to get hold of Season 7 in English version for Region 2, it has just been anounced that the release date will be March 31st, 2008.
I was hoping I would not have to wait until Christmas to get it...now I wish I could have it by then.
Patience, patience...

I hope that means region 4 as well. If it doesn't, we have to wait a few months. Damn.

Whoa, March 31st!?

Region 2 is usually released a couple of months after Region 1. I hope that doesn't mean they had licensing issues with the music.

Funnily enough, France is promissing a release early December. However, Universal France does not release Magnum PI with the English version option (except for season 1).

I've got my eyes wide open on the UK, Germany, the Netherlands & France to see who's gonna come first with the correct version.
See, I'm extremely busy these days. But you're right, so far UK had aways been a max of 3 weeks post US release...wonder what happened.

Someone can tell me if the english version has the french version option ?
The seasons 3, 4, 5, 6 sold in France have only the french version.

Désolé Olivier,

I've purchased my first 6 seasons all over Europe.
The only way you can get the French option is if you buy it in France: which comes in French only, not even in English.
Besides, are you aware that for the pat 2 month you can get the full collection through Collection Atlas (I think) at your local newstand ? It comes with a little magazine that talks about the series, the various caracters, Hawaii as a destination, the Vietnam war....
I did not buy any of it as I don't want to have two copies of the episodes and those come quite expensive: Just for your info.

There even was a contest I saw on TV saying that together with a well known radio station playing oldies (Radio Nostalgie) one could win Magnum's car. They never mentioned the scale of it ;o)

Thanks Vanity for that rather dissapointing news. I hope that aren't issues with the music licensing, that would suck.

Good News for us in Region 2.
France is confirmimg Season 7 for release on Dec.4th. They're announcing that unlike previous seasons, it will also feature English version. I'll tell you more in the afternoon of the 4th.
Still for the rest of Europe the release date is maintained for March 31st...go figure

I would guess that you cannot buy the US version as you require it to be in PAL format?

PAL or NTSC matters not as it's possible to watch all US DVD's on many European players. The main issue is one of resolution, NTSC has approx 450lines and PAL/SECAM has at least 525. So the European version has a better picture quality.

Vanity, please keep us posted on the French release.

Trust me, I'll do so

Bad news again.
The release date in France remains unchanged, for this coming tuesday.
On the other hand, Season 7 will be released in French language only. For those of you who don't mind, great. For the rest of us, who what the real stuff, March 31st it shall be (
Back to patience. Still I'll check in the stores on Tuesday...just in case the info on the web is incorrect.

I checked this morning Season 7 that just came out in France and on the 14th in Belgium. Sorry to confirm that it is well all in French.
Guess we'll all have to wait for March 31st.

Hi Guys, does anyone know when season 7 will arrive in region 4,

Thanks

Magnum92, unfortunately it's still TBA.
