One example:

Translated PS3 is $100 more expensive in the UK.
But to regionisation - your stuck with these price differences. However, many Blu ray discs are region free, and I just want to clarify, that any region free Blu ray disks (300, blood diamond) will work on UK PAL PS3 Blu ray players.....
any one have any other titles where they have had success?
It seems crazy to me that I can buy the same product in a country 1000s of miles away, and have it shipped over to me, for less that buying it, on line, in the UK!!

As a fellow Brit - I hear you mate.
Yeah, I have 300 imported from the US and it works fine in my PAL PS3. I have others too from the US including, The Devil's Rejects, Disturbia, Finding Neverland, Memento, The Oceans Trilogy, The Reaping, Reign of Fire, TMNT, Troy, Underworld, 3:10 To Yuma, War, Resident Evil Trilogy and Blade Runner - all o which work absolutely fine in my PS3.
Try movietyme.com or axelmusic.com for ordering from the US - generally cheaper and quicker than amazon.com (unless they're having a BOGOF).
But I agree - rip-off Britain strikes again. It always bothered me about Americans complaining about the PS3 price and the price of standalones etc when over here forced to pay even more extortionate rates.
