I've used my credit card with no problems at www.amazon.co.uk . It usually takes around 5-7 days to reach me once the item is shhipped.

Well when I looked it up it says that the format is PAL. So I'm guessing it's not region free right?

The Hi-Def formats don't utilize PAL or NTSC or whatever anymore -- it's all about the region-coding. It's kind of misleading on Amazon's part, but they don't do a very good job with that kind of information on their site.

All (I think) of the Warner releases up to this point have been region free and will play in any player worldwide.

Sweeney Todd should be the same.

Thanks I didn't know that. Well I think I might wait until there's a confirmation that it's region free before pre-ordering. It would be my first import and I don't want to take any chances.

I'm in that boat, too. So no worries. I'm going to wait as well. Beowulf comes out this week and I'm waiting on confirmation for that one too. As soon as I get it though, "Click to Order".

The only thing to watchout for with UK Blu-Ray discs are even if the film is region free, any extra's that are in standard def are going to be in the pal format.
