I just bought Dune at Amazon.co.uk, and here is the weird thing.

The title was listed at 18.99 pounds, but once I was on the final "totals" page, it listed it at 16.16 pounds, with the 2.95 for international Air Mail shipping it came out at 19.11.

So something is wrong with Amazon's UK branch, considering it's a brank new store, which is in business for less than 2 months, that may account for it.

I have to agree with my countryman. Amazon.co.uk suck big time and are the most expensive place in the UK to get disks (actually more expensive than the high street.) for international region 2s, I suggest you try www.blackstar.co.uk who offer free international shipping and their prices aren't to bad or www.dvdstreet.co.uk as you can get ****** on certain credit cards.

However the Region 2 Dune is a cracking disk

Jim

Shouldn't this be in the international forum?????

Im an amazon.co.uk associate, so that's the reason i actually bought anything there.

(You can have your associate fees converted to amazon store credit, saves on some taxes)

If you're an affiliate with a store, can you get comission on things you buy yourself? That'd be pretty neat... which probably means you couldn't get away with it... anyone know for sure?

Amazon forbids you from buying using your association code.

However, Reel allows it, they even encourage you to do it.

However, reel won't allow you to convert the association fees to store-credit.

Blight,

19 UKP for Dune (Thats $50.00 AUD), I hope that the R2 version is good because the R4 is voted the worst DVD produced
