its for the US edition though so not sure if UK will be same or if it will be amray.

Dont know if this has been posted already, but here's something interesting:



Still think the US set looks nicer.. Less purple too

that pic kinda dont make sense as the package inside the slip case looks like a digipack and not amray and yet they show amray next to it with no space for other discs so I think thats a early picture.

I don't really care anymore about that. pre-ordered the US edition. DVDworldUSA has confirmed it region free.

I really dont think this movie is worth spending £8 more just to get US edition.
Rather just spend £14 then £22.

Yeah, it's just a mock up, I think it will be a DigiPack, I doubt it will be a standard amaray (at least I hope so).

Hey, I know that the limit for importing from the US (or whatever) is £18 (for avoiding customs), which roughly converts to $29 (today's rate). But I wanted to know whether the £18 limit is in regards to the actual item inside or does it include the postage costs as well?

For example, if you buy a Blu costing $20 from the US (which would put it below the limit) but the postage it let's say $15, which would produce a total of $35, would this be considered above the limit as the postage costs included exceeded the £18 limit altogether?

Thanks

Woo, pre-ordered it today!

[Stu123]

DVDEZY.COM told me the amount is just for the item not postage.Maybe its different for various sellers as they have to fill a customs declaration out so depends what they put on that.I've even known some sellers to mark it as a gift then you can go to around £35.It's just another stupid exscuse for the goverment to take more money off people anyway.

Err, that's a DVD. It's clearly a mockup.

I'd switch it to Zavvi if I were you. My order is "awaiting dispatch", so it looks like this will be posted out today.

I haven't got an account there, and I can't be bothered to make one at the moment. Amazon.co.uk will be fine, but thanks anyways!

Your right, just checked mine and this and How To Train Your Dragon like you say should be dispatched today.

I haven't received the dispatch email yet, but Avatar has now been relegated to my "previous orders" list.

[nekromantik]

woah zavvi are sending these out 2 weeks early?

[moweeis]

Because they made a mockup first showing both the dvd and blu-ray versions.

I.e. the scandinavian mockup which clearly uses the same model:

[Show spoiler]

omg. sorry for the size!

Don't know how to make it smaller =(
