Most expensive Blu-Ray disc ever (David Gilmour) ? (UK)

[Elizabeth]

Now I know you can buy this disc on-line for much cheaper, however I couldn't believe my eyes when I went into a local Virgin to buy
David Gilmour: Remember That Night

In the UK this retails at £40 (~ $82).
However, Virgin were selling it for a whopping £54 ( ~$112), £14 ABOVE the RRP.

Needless to say I didn't make a purchase !

I'll be buying this on-line, but it's really disappointing that a title like this is region locked (according to http://bluray.liesinc.net ) , so I can't import.
The US version has a much more friendly $35 list price.

It is 54 euro in Virgin Ireland which I didn't think was too bad

I hate rip-off UK that’s why I get what I can from the US

(start of rant)
I mean the 5 hp films from play UK is £89.95 from the shops £124.95
I ordered the box set with the bonus disc from the US for only $84.48 = £40.75 that is including shipping

Well at least Planet Earth is a box with 4 discs.
This store in downtown Brussels wanted to sell me an american import of Troy's director's cut for € 53,- which is not far from 80 Dollars !!!
But thanks to a friend's credit card, I could get it on amazon.com for 25 dollars or so

guys buy a USA player, be it a PS3 or the new Panasonic BD30 (£250 ebay) and say goodbye to crappy uk pricing.

Keep you UK player for any region exclusives. look how the USA versions of fims are getting the PiP treatment etc and we wont for a time.

media pricing for BD is a steal and then you can also make better use of the bogo deals as well. long run you save money.

Nip/Tuck and Close Encounters and soon LOST season 3
