Re: amazon uk deals

Does Amazon UK have the pre-order low price guarantee? City of the Living Dead blu just went down to 12.99(pounds). Looks like some nice exclusive extras the US release won't have.

Re: amazon uk deals

I agree that Amazon UK do have some outstanding blu ray prices and I've ordered a couple from them with no issues whatsoever and with extremely fast shipping.

So far I've picked up 'BBC Planet Earth' & 'The Bourne Trilogy'.

I'm going to give the site a once over since my brother will be visiting in June and I'll have him bring over a suitcase load lol

What to choose, what to choose.....I know 'Band Of Brothers' is on the list since, believe it or not, I've actually never seen it

Re: amazon uk deals

Both Big Fish and original Texas Chainsaw Massacre are pretty cheap (5.99 pounds). Does TCM have any extras exclusive to the UK release? Is it region free? [TCM UK version is not listed at Blu Ray Region Code site].

YMMV on Big Fish - several bad reviews about picture quality.

Re: amazon uk deals

Sorry I missed that thread. So - to recap, TCM UK is Region B and includes everything on the Dark Sky US release + 3 interview segments exclusive to UK...plus codec that's supposedly a little better than the US blu-ray. Looks like UK may be the way to go on this one (I've got an Oppo player that's region free for DVD...and can supposedly change it to alternate blu-ray regions, but just haven't had any non-Region A's yet to test it).

Planet Earth BD has dropped since I ordered it last week.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ef=oss_product

Edit: Maybe not. I saw my total after shipping. It's still a fine deal.

Re: amazon uk deals

Just got Stardust for 17.18 shipped, not a spectacular deal, but I hear the movie is amazing. It is not available in the US yet and there are at least 4 copies on ebay that sold for 30 to 35 a piece so this is a great deal compared to those.

Just mentioning that.

And from everything I read it should be region free. I can report back when I receive it to be safe if everyone wants.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stardust-Spe...dp/B002XISFCM/ (£8.45 in cart + £3.08 shipping = $17.18 USD)

The Rules of Attraction - about $13.50 after shipping
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rules-Attrac.../dp/B001Q94TQU

it loses some of the commentaries from the US DVD, but it
1. features a 5.1 track, DVD was only 2.0
2. is the uncut version
3. isn't available in the US

Excellent underrated movie, I picked it up in a heartbeat

Re: amazon uk deals

The Boat that Rocked is at £8.99. It seemed like it'd make a good double bill with the Woodstock blu I ordered at the same time thanks to the thread on that release.

I'd like to add that the blu of Pirate Radio is currently $26.49 on Amazon US.

Dirty Harry Collection is listed as 24.99 GBP, but when added it to my cart and logged in as living to the U.S. the price i was charged was 21.50 GBP. That's just over $31 and way cheaper than amazon.com or any other store i've checked.

Damn. How does $47.50 shipped sound for Rome Seasons One and Two?

The prices shown include the VAT (tax), and are removed for orders shipping to the US. Your actual price will always be a little less than what is shown.

Actually, that is a good deal. I believe the lowest this had been was $60 as an Amazon gold box. Good find!

The first half of Stardust is absolutely fabulous, but the second half just gets weird--when De Niro reveals his true self.

But once they add in shipping it goes back up to 24.xx GBP putting it around $36-37 shipped.

It has been at that price a few times in the past, and might (I hope) make a dip back down again. I held off, for some bizarre reason, last time.

Batman - The Motion Picture Anthology
17.99 translates to $26. Compare that to $73.49 here in the states.

Is this a regular price for Amazon UK, or is this lower than usual?
