From the US? Reason i am asking is that are not all Fox titles region coded? I did notice Amazon said it was all regions but do not trust amazon for region coding information.

I agree. I would be very dubious about ordering Fox titles from a different region as they tend to region lock their titles. Look on bluray.liesinc.net they have a pretty comprehensive list of what is and what isn't playable.

The Simpson's Movie is only £14.99 on amazon.co.uk which is the cheapest I've seen in the UK.

I don't live in the US, I don't even live in the UK.

I live in the Adriatic, which is pretty bloody far away from the main battlefields in this format war. But once I decided to join in, I chose to support Region A Blu-ray (because of the slimmer cases, and lack of the BBFC meddling, among other things) primarily because of the current Dollar/Euro ratio. It meant more hassle in acquiring the necessary gear up front, but it also makes for a smoother sailing later on. What with the Amazon BOGOs and other promotions, I end up paying around $20 per shipped disc on average, versus $50 it would cost me to buy them in stores.

I'm sure many more people are well aware of the Dollar/Pound ratio in the UK, and import whatever they can from the US. There's nothing particularly wrong with it. It's not helping to increase the volume of Blu-rays moved on this side of the pond, though, so the local prices will likely stay high for a while yet.

Anyway -- Bullseye, how come you haven't gotten your CE3K? My Amazon preorder arrived two weeks ago.
