Australia Region Ripped Off!

[QUOTE=richieb1971;692752]..... Blu rays in the USA typicalyl go for $20 (£10) when we get stitched up for £17-£22 a movie......QUOTE]

You are including VAT. Studios can't be blamed for a governments taxing
system. I ordered Region Free "The Island" [Warner Home Video, UK] listed at £17.98, but after VAT was deducted for shipping to the U.S. it was £15.30. And I'm sure Warner Home Video has a substantial cost of doing business in the UK to pass on. Foreign DVD's in the U.S. typically run $26,
which is about $7 over a new DVD released by an U.S. based Studio. The same goes for Blu-ray's
I've ordered from Australia.

I'm just happy I am free import. I am sure there are some people in other parts of the World where
their Imports are confiscated at the border and selling Western DVD's in a local shop puts the
Retailer in jail. Count your blessings instead of complaining about a pound or two.
