Very nice price, but be aware that the UK version is 50hz.

Read through this thread to see some of the problems that people have had. For example, the PS3 not being able to play it.

It all depends on your setup I guess?

This post is relevant it seems...

Thanks Steve.... now I feel stupid.

Shoulda known why it wasn't mentioned or promoted already...

I ordered it, and they shipped it yesterday to me... I have a PS3 so I guess I have to set up a return. What's the best way to do it? Just return to sender right?

I am not sure what the best way is. I would contact them. I had a problem with Escape From New York and they were very understanding. If you explain that you won't be able to play it, they might refund shipping on the return. You can definitely get a refund for the cost of the goods at the very least.

I have never refused delivery of an item.

Thanks again Steve. I sent them an e-mail asking them the best way to return it.

They will probably give you a label to print. I wouldn't be surprised if they allow a free return.

No need to feel stupid. You were just trying to make us aware of a good deal. Some systems may well be able to handle it.

It's so annoying that region coding still exists. I would be ordering Dumbo and Life today otherwise

If they want to charge you for return shipping you could point out that it would never have happened if their site had had accurate information in the first place
