Boycott the UK version of Blade Runner

[AikonEnt]

Buy the US version instead. Once again UK customers are being shafted with the release of Blade Runner. The UK version costs around £18 and for that you get 2 discs and 1 version of the film (the final cut) and extras. In the US for around $28 (on Amazon anyway) you get a 5 disc version with 5 versions of the film with extras. Add postage to that for UK customers and that comes to around $34 and at current exchange rates that's roughly £17! So less money and a lot more value. You might argue that you don't need that many versions of the same film, but if you can get them for less money than you'd pay in the UK anyway why the hell not. Even if you only watch them once and even if the other versions of the film are only in SD it's better value. For such a sci-fi classic you should get the best version available.

The website bluray.liesinc.net says the US version will play on region B players and as most Warner films are region free as far as I know my fellow UK residents would be foolish not to get the US version.
