I hope it's ok that I gave this it's own thread, rather than lumping it into international. Check for region. Some blu's will be R0; some will be RB. Many are blu/dvd multi packs

If there's anything you want, I suggest biting, as I don't expect that free international shipping will continue after Trump's new postal changes go through in June. I expect international postage to be $10-$15 USD per title (It's supposed to be identical to what the USPS charges us to ship to a given country.).

This is a good sale, especially with free ship. The 2 best deals I already have: Hitler's Hollywood/From Hitler To Caligari & the Lubitsch In Berlin box (I just paid almost that much for the dvd version..... oops!)

There's still a few I might get. Sale ends 11/21

There are also 2 smaller sales:

2 for 25 pounds: https://eurekavideo.co.uk/promotions/2-for-25/

2 for 20 pounds https://eurekavideo.co.uk/promotions/2-for-20/

Here is my order from the Eureka October sale. Second order direct from Eureka. Would give them a A+ both times from everything from their site to speed of order. So on to maybe spend more money.
Wake in Fright (Dual format)1
Wolf Creek (Blu-ray)1
Troll: The Complete Collection (Troll / Troll 2 / Best Worst Movie) (Blu-ray)1
The Old Dark House (Dual format)1
Tag [Riaru onigokko] (Dual format)1

Onibaba (Dual format)1
The Skull (Dual format)1
The Town That Dreaded Sundown (Dual format)1
Cure [Kyua] (Dual format)1
Kuroneko [Yabu no naka no kuroneko] (Dual format)

I'm a little confused by the payment method. Can you pay directly with a credit card or do you have to use Worldplay, -and what is that anyway?

Worldpay is just the payment processor. You still enter your CC info on that page just like at other sites

Great sale. Not too many titles but a sweet set. Second the +ve opinion on Eureka. Fast, free, dependable international shipping and quality titles. No brainer if you are region free

3rd the + on Eureka/MOC. IMO, there quality is equal to Criterion at lower pricing.

Where does it say what region they are? I assumed it would be under "Technical Details, " but no luck.

1. go to Blu-ray.com
2. In the search box at the top, there's a country drop down to the right, click and select United Kingdom
3. Now enter the title in the search box and hit enter
4. In the details next to the title image, there's a Region Code mentioned
5. Additionally, under the title image there are links to the front and back of the cover art (this is a hit or miss though)
6. Click on 'back cover' or 'slip back' - in the enlarged image that pops up, scroll down to the bottom where Region Code is usually printed

Ah ha, offsite. Thanks!

There first 15-20 releases were region free, then the blu-ray consortium made them add region encoding. They also have the only non offensive (it's somewhat humorous) "please don't copy our discs" blurb I've ever seen. On USA discs, seeing the FBI logo before my movie really rubs me the wrong way.

Eureka's is pretty amusing. Rhino had some fun with it, too, back in the day:

I am considering Witness For The Prosecution, though I do have it on dvd. Turns out i already have blu's of the ones I was interested in. There are a couple of the 2 for 25's; but one's a late January pre-order; & I suspect they'll get cheaper than that if I'm patient.

The Blu-ray consortium doesn't "make" any distributor restrict their releases to only one region. There's plenty of mutilple or all-region Blu-rays out there, many from major studios. Most of the newer 3D Blu-ray discs are all-region because the studio only presses one disc for the whole world.

Whether a disc is restricted to a particular region is dictated by the studio, and their contract with the distributor if it's a title they licensed out. It's possible early Eureka titles were all-region because the studios didn't know if multiple distributors would want to license these titles. Once they got interest from multiple distributors on titles, the studios likely started requiring some region restrictions, so they could reduce the competition between distributors for the same title, meaning they could request a higher licensing fee.

You may be right. Oppo told me on the phone years ago from the hardware end the reason they removed the ability to play iso's was they were threatened with losing there license if they didn't. I would think the content providers could & would d the same thing.

Well, playing Blu-ray ISOs on a Blu-ray player may be something the Blu-ray Consortium would get involved with, since that may be breaking spec. Making an all-region disc doesn't break spec. Making an all-region player does break spec, which is why all the Blu-ray players that can change regions are after market mods.

25% off select Eureka titles until Jan. 27. Mostly standard editions, but a few slip versions are still in the mix.

Eureka’s having a sale on Japanese titles. As always, free shipping (don’t know if tariffs are an issue on UK Blu-rays for American folks, though):

https://eurekavideo.co.uk/promotions/japanese-sale/

I think the tariffs are an issue; + price has been going up on the sale stuff. I don't know if that's tariffs or Trump's incoming postage increases.

Eureka Summer Sale:

https://eurekavideo.co.uk/promotions/summer-sale/

Free shipping, of course, although I don’t know if this holds entirely true for American buyers because of the tariff games, the loss of the de minimus exemption, etc. Even up here, I learned pre-Trump that it was more economical to order one disc at a time from Eureka because boxed batches routinely got hit with duties

It looks like the days of free shipping (at least to the U.S.) are over. I'm seeing a £10 flat fee. That isn't terrible for international shipping, especially if you make big orders, but who knows what kind of fees will get attached to those big orders in our new tariff reality.

Well that’s unfortunate, but not unexpected, I guess. The uncertainty of tariffs probably scotches a lot of deals from outside your country now. Fun times. I suppose you can always compare against Diabolik and other importers, but I suspect they’re raising prices like every other company the Orange One claims should just eat them to make his ridiculous plan appear to be penalizing other countries instead of the Americans it’s actually penalizing. Definitely still free shipping to Canada, regardless of quantities, in case any Canucks are reading this, but the duties on bigger parcels are still a risk because Canada customs really seems to be leaning into that nowadays because of the overall ‘environment’ inflicted on the planet by the U.S. regime, whereas they were more lenient more often in the past. I’ve ordered two singles in this sale (I have everything else) and don’t really anticipate any charges.

Trump also raised incoming postage drastically in his first term (that's why no more free shipping). And yes, who knows what the Tariffs will do other than end up in Donald Duck's pocket?

Shame, Eureka's been my go to label due to low prices/high quality.

At least President Trump is trying to improve things unlike the ultimate bufoon Sleepy Joe..

Funny how that defence is never articulated by our more obvious ‘patriots’ in the political forum, only in outside threads where anyone casually points out the visible burdens the administration’s policies are inflicting directly on consumer pricing and importing. Oh well, expecting a few posts to be deleted any moment now.
