I guess the answer to that will be in the release date. If its after the US version, I'd say no.

I liked the German fake more.
The blue band at the top is better if its straight as opposed to the curved one.
And of course the logos.

Boz · 03-03-2010, 06:04 AM

I don't really like the curved blue band, i prefer the classic stright one too

I'm not with Play...

Yes they do actually, but watch out for ehmm...lost the English word so I'll just say it in dutch; douanekosten

. Because last time I ordered a game there for 32 euro I had to pay another 20 euro or else I couldn't get the package from the mailman.

Anyways this looks very attractive!

maybe i'm just complaining too much...

lol

Nah, I think it's the main female one... if there is one, played by the Zoë-actress or something...

Hm, the curvy one does seem to leave slightly more space for the artwork below it.
But at the same time, it's too distracting with the curves and multiple shades
as opposed to one straight bar in one color (apart from the BD-logo).
I still really prefer no bigass blu-stuff at all, a blu BD-logo is alright, but still prefer just a white one.

Yeah, but it depends if the Play-store is American, if British they don't charge anything.
But I'm guessing it's an American store then, I thought this would be out in the UK though?...
I'm a little confused now.
But anyway, I indeed stopped buying from the US,
cause they seemed to get more strict with charging taxes and duties and what not.
I might still some time if I have enough to buy at once, cause the costs spread out a little more then.
But it's just ridiculous and I'm very glad importing from the UK doesn't cost anything extra.
And the shipping-costs alone aren't that much either.

play is british but ships from channel islands which makes it vat free, hence why u got caught, uk tax limit is 18 pound why is why most blus are 17.99 or less, if its more than that it won't be vat free, less beware.

I never ordered there.
Just from Amazon US for US-stores though, which the last couple of times I got charged a lot.
But that's caused by the Dutch customs.
Amazon UK is not a problem.

Here is my response to Play.com removing the Avatar steelbook. You might want to turn down your volume.

jw · 03-03-2010, 11:19 PM

Patience my friend, I have a very good feeling it will be back

It sucks that its been removed.

Thought it might've been too good to be true for the UK to get a steelbook, especially one for a massively popular film like Avatar.
