Cheap DVDs

[ffutures]

Pointed out to me by rozk - CD-WOW are selling the Region 3 version of the Return of the King extended edition DVD at £15.99, and the Hellboy special 2-disk set at £7.99

Both are cheaper than the region 1 (USA) or 2 (UK) sets; American readers should note that region 3 is also NTSC so may be worth taking a look if they can region hack their players.

Prices include P&P and they're sent separately so that there isn't a customs problem since they're under the £18.00 threshold. Once I've had a couple and checked that their service works I suspect I will be ordering a good deal more from them.

I get the impression that it's only in the USA that people really seem to have problems - I suppose that the market is big enough that the manufacturers make region-locked DVDs for region 1 only, rather than multi-region machines set to a single region as in most other areas. That or the film companies are forcing them to do it, which wouldn't surprise me.
