Default UK vs US Price - Matrix Collection

So I was in Harrod's in London and saw the Matrix Blu-Ray collection for 29 pounds ($45) and thought it must be an error - but sure enough, the collection is dirt cheap over here in the UK (about the only thing that is).

Wondering why US set is so much higher priced...$75 is cheapest I've seen.

Are you offering to buy everyone who wants one this deal? If not, why did you post it here?

Rude. It may be in the wrong place, but that's not an excuse to be rude.

OP, the UK version is just the three movies, IIRC. I explored the option of importing it before I realized I had a bunch of Best Buy reward zone coupons that made the US version cheaper overall. Basically, it's a 3-4 disc set, with no Animatrix and only some of the special features.

Yeah, pick it up for me and send me your paypal info so I can pay you...

I assume you will take care of shipping it from the UK to the states, and then I will pay for domestic shipping?

Fact.

It is not a hot deal.

Fact.

He posted it without bothering to check the Rules

Fact.

He took up the time of the mod who had to move it.

Fact.

The rules are posted at the top of the forum, so he should have known better, and crying because someone told him he was wrong is the sissiest thing I have seen on this forum. Boo hoo.

Fact.

Ewww, the Dot Cotton of the internet (my UK friends will get the joke).

And so what, it was posted in the wrong section. Guess you never did that? Don't be a dick, or you won't get anything from Santa this year.

Fact: Doesn't say anywhere in the rules that another poster can be a douche to someone who posts in the wrong forum.

Fact.
