OTOH if UK says that and AmazonUS is using Amazon UK inventory (pretty good chance) I'm not sure I believe the US is being dibs on UK inventory so both are likely to ship similar time frames. When Amazon says 1-2 months, usually it seems to be close to a week or 10 days. I ahd an item last last that said 2-4 weeks and is shipping tomorrow or Monday
If UK really is low on inventory, then both US and UK run the same risks of being delivered or cancelled, but who knows what the underlying stock situation really is

My order currently says September 23rd, but I guess we'll just have to see. God knows I don't want to get stiffed again, but I didn't want to play the waiting game in the vain hope that my original amazon would ship or wait for Roninflix to get it with no guarantee of landing a copy since they don't have a pre-order function. You literally have to be online when it goes live or you're screwed.
Granted I've got nothing against Roninflix, I've bought my share of movies from them and their packaging from a protection standpoint is topnotch. But when dealing with something that could sell out in minutes or less its a gamble I just don't feel like taking. And on top of all that depending on when they get it the UK version could be gone by then. So I went ahead and decided to buy the UK version now.
