No idea. Here's some additional pics. Not great pics, but you get a different perspective.

I have the worst problem with Blu-ray.com. I've made like two accounts and every time I try to sign back in I can't. Don't understand it. Sorry for going off topic, haha.

The standard UK set is £77.08 when you get to the checkout (even though it shows £92.50 on the main page). It's been that way for a while and still is.

The LE goes down as well to £83.33

Doh - forgot about VAT.

The DVDTalk review, which does a good job at finding a good balance between pointing out the faults and merits of the set.

Fry's seems to have the set for $177, not quite as low as the UK set, but easily the lowest I've seen for the US set.

The Australian set is even cheaper here at $AU99:

Yes, I'm getting the limited...it wasn't just about saving money for me, it was about getting that really good looking set (and saving money!). :)

The fact that for my money the UK Limited set is just better in terms of it's size, imagery, etc? Yeah. That's a steal. While the US one is thievery for what they're asking for.

I take that back, it's $163 at CostCo.

Anyone here with the US edition? Can you confirm that the mono tracks for Vertigo and Psycho aren't DTS-HD tracks?

Thanks! The DVDTalk review alluded to DTS-HD and I got worried my Canadian set got different discs.

My UK order has been dispatched! :banana:

My Amazon UK special edition shipped but it was sent DHL Global instead of Royal Mail which is how everything else I ever ordered from them was shipped.
Not too happy as everything I ordered that used Royal Mail had a one week estimated arrival date from day shipped. DHL Global's estimated arrival date is November 30. Ouch. DHL does have tracking which I don't believe Royal Mail had to the US. I think DHL must place the order in a bottle and float it across the Atlantic.

Same for me, Classic Films. The wait begins!

That's the only bad thing about ordering bigger sets from the UK - if it exceeds a certain size they won't use Royal Mail apparently.

Same here, except my estimated arrival is December 10. How can it possibly take a damn month?

My UK order is on the way as well - with a Dec. 8th estimated delivery date.

$138.45
