Imports to N.A. help needed

[antimatter]

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a bluray problem I am having...I want to import wild at heart...but cannot figure out the difference between these two version and which is the one with better quaility....I've been searching all day...No joke all day....upc 5050582801804 item # pid828018...I'm pretty sure is the UK version sold out...but here is the thing there is another Upc 4891670336768 item#srd703367...i think this is a hong kong release but i cannot find a difinitive answer....It is really bugging me cuz if this version of the movie is the same as the one that is sold out i will get it...but i can find no other info on this other than it exists...all sites i goto have both version but listed with exactly the same specs and only like a 20cent difference...and the one i know is the uk version is sold out and the other is not....and it is not the french release

You could order the version above (click on the cover) directly from Amazon.UK. It will play without a problem in North America.

The UK version is in stock, it is not sold out.

Anywhere from 8 to 10 days has been the average for me to PA.

[antimatter]

Well, why would I want to do that?

As long it is Region-Free (I assume you can only play Region-A discs). Also, antimatter, make sure you check all boxes in your personal preferences here:

https://www.blu-ray.com/community/settings.php

...so that you could see news/reviews/product info for releases from all over the world.

There are quite a few reviews for Region-Free UK releases here:

The only potential sticking point is extras. Occasionally the extras on foreign releases will be PAL rather than NTSC which means the disc will load okay and the main feature will play but the extras will not.

I don't import a lot so I can't tell you how common that is but it's worth keeping in mind.

But importing from amazon.uk couldn't be easier and the shipping rates are extremely reasonable. Their customer service is pretty good too...I had my most recent shipment disappear and they simply sent out another one.

Yea i think i tried to import shrek 3d and it wouldn't let me cuz of the exclusive crap and i thought you just couldn't buy from them...so i usually would find them on other sites or ebay...but this is much easier to go right to amazon.uk....Yea i bought a box set and two other movies for like 54 bucks and i thought wow that is cheap...Thanks for everyones help...yea that pal special features kind of sucks but...if you want it for the movie it's worth it...

[antimatter]

there are some region free movies from holland or neitherlands cuz that is where i got soloman kane from...since messing around with the settings i found it...it says not released but i got an e1 copy...was wondering why i could never find it...

[antimatter]

are we not allowed to buy new release from amazon uk...say i wanna buy their version of a thin red line or 8.49 and not the 30 us release by criteon...or is there a certain amount of time before they can sell it

Hey can anyone tell me why the UK box sets are usually cheaper...like right now band of brothers is only 30 bucks and it seems that roughly 30 dollars us is the constant going rate...give or take a couple of dollars...but the us release stays around 40 or higher....is it worth buying the band of brothers rf...not a fan but would be nice to add to my collection or just wait for a good us price...it seems they are eactly the same...is it that everyone wants the official us release for like a wierd comfort reason...
