Alien Anthology - Blu-ray Forum

Phazed · 08-13-2010, 11:49 PM

Alien Anthology is finally up for pre-order in Canada, at least at amazon.ca. Anyways, they have two listings for it, one for 99.99 and the other for 125.99. Anyone know the difference?

I'm really hoping we get the facehugger version but I doubt it.

It would make sense if one is the standard and one is the egg. That would be the only reason for the difference in price.

I'm inclined to agree but wouldn't the price discrepancy be a lot larger?

Lt. Aldo Raine · 08-14-2010, 12:37 AM

thats a lil pricey

im gona wait and see if somewhere has a special pre order price

like blockbuster did with lotr

danman227460 · 08-14-2010, 12:41 AM

No if I remember correctly, the egg was like 129 and the standard is 99. Could be mistaken.

The cheaper 99.99 one is actually the US import. The standard Canadian edition is the 125.99 set...

Lt. Aldo Raine · 08-14-2010, 01:49 AM

if i dont see a cheaper canadian price
im thinking of importing from UK

danman227460 · 08-14-2010, 05:52 AM

Gross. We get gipped again. Well here's hoping the UK edition is region free or CDN version drops. Otherwise, Black Friday shopping here I come.

Don't count on it still being there (or anywhere) come Black Friday.

chaingunsofdoom · 09-21-2010, 05:21 PM

It's only 37 pounds (-VAT +shipping) from the UK -- if it's region free?

What are they on to be asking for $100 here?

msgohan · 09-22-2010, 02:19 AM

According to a UK reviewer his review copies were Region Free.

Rebelwithoutacause · 09-22-2010, 02:52 AM

And now I know why I rarely purchase Blu-ray Disc titles from Amazon.ca or Canadian retailers. That pre-order price is ridiculous, especially for us that live in Ontario with the high taxes.

eBay and Amazon.com here I come...

great!
do u have a link to the review?

msgohan · 09-22-2010, 11:41 PM

It was a fellow from Home Cinema Choice. He posted screenshots on their website that Fox has since requested they remove... The actual review won't be posted until closer to release.
