Well I got a copy, a friend got three. Then you add how many everyone on here and other forums. That's right there is quite a bit. Right now The Wicker Man looks pretty sweet.

Many of the AE titles have been on sale since last Oct/Nov. Also, their "shipped in 1-2 weeks" estimate has turned out to be more like 2+ months.

I'm also still waiting for my two Haneke titles and two Kieslowski titles.

The one good thing about these delays is that you can add new purchases to the existing order and avoid their per-order handling/shipping charge.

logboy, I wouldn't worry about any additional postage charges. Amazon UK has split-shipped a number of my past orders and when totaling the various shipping charges, it always resulted in an exact match to my initial order.

Has anyone here ever used Amazon China aka JOYO.COM. I noticed on the UK site there was an AMAZON CHINA, so I tried.

The reason I ask is the DVD prices. According to JOYO.COM they have the "Valliant" DVD for example for a whopping $1.13 US. They are charging a mere 9 Yuan?

Am I reading this right?

Is JOYO really affiliated with Amazon? I thought they just ripped off the look.

Hmmm... FWIW, I just ordered "The Descent" 2 disc SE, which was listed "our price: £14.99"...
It registered at £12.76.
Does Amazon UK occassionally knock-down a price & not change the listing?

you aren't in the UK - they've subtracted the VAT at 17.% which we would pay in the UK automatically within all prices. you pay shipping though : but this discount compensates...
