Don't you just love those mistakes?
Why can't it never be the other way around...?

I was reading the description for the Gift Set on amazon.co.uk and it says:

"Please note: This is a US boxset and all the individual components have US spelling on them."

I think amazon are just offering the US version to the UK.

Its kind of crappy that its $60 and £60, it shouldn't be dollar for pound. Comparing it to games, a US games RRP is about $60 where here is around £40.

Is this maybe because they are just selling US imports?

I'm off to the States in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to pick up the Target Exclusive book

There is a gift set available in Australia for $67 which looks exactly the same as this gift set, only it has the horrible Australian ratings logo on the front of the main box.
I too am wondering if we are getting the US box to sell here. I am also wondering if it isn't all a mistake

The US version has a label sticker in the box that says : LIMITED EDITION and numbered of printing out of total printing of 250,000 copies

Its a cool package ..

I know, $60 currently converts to around £38! But if this is the same set, then we are paying an additional £22! But then again, with customs fees etc you would probably end up paying £60 if you imported from the US.

I was going to order one from the US but have instead ordered the standard 45th anniversary Blu-Ray from play.com as it's in their 2 for £18 sale.

Why do some of the most pants films in the world get lovely exclusive steelboxes or even a digibooks and here we get a dust gathering shoebox or a bog standard amaray
