Amazon 10/25/13 DOTD - Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection $64.99

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FL8OTK/...d_p=1596371562

I'm one of the few who hasn't bought this yet, preferring to spend the bucks here in the U.S. of A. instead on Amazon UK for the cheaper box.

While this is the cheapest it has been on Amazon, I'm holding out for even cheaper, like $50 or less.

That makes absolutely no sense. It's the same company and the same set.

Amazon apparently thinks the same, as the first review for the American set is actually a review for the UK version. Amazon needs to stop mixing reviews.

seriously - I also hate trying to wade through mixed reviews of DVD/BD of the same title.

Amazon now shares American reviews for certain items on the UK site.

There is absolutely no reason for them to do this. In fact, it is a HUGE negative. If I am looking at a blu ray, I want a review of the blu ray. Mixing them, makes the review for the film rather than the media it is on.

I'm fine with it if it is for the exact same transfer. Unfortunatley that is hardly ever the case and Amazon doesn't make that distinction. But they should keep them seperate, especially in this day and age of a global marketplace.
