And thats still cheaper than ordering from Amazon.com in the U.S., even for non-exclusives.
I agree. If you have a certain price point for catalog titles it may not fit that price point. For me I like to pay $12 or $13 max for catalog titles. There are also several newer releases in the B2G1 that are a bit more of hot items. I may not get anything until the exchange rate drops a bit, but you are right, still cheaper than Amazon US

To me, personally, it's not worth it because I'm generally itching to get my hands on catalog title all that quickly. And when I first started making orders and the exchange rate was around 1.3 the £12.98 and below titles were pretty good deals... but now with the shipping being what it is, the exchange rate adds up on that plus the conversion charge you get on your credit card and starts easily getting up to 16 or 17 a disc.

Like I said, it's great for exclusives, but if the disc is available in the US, i'll just wait for the inevitable sale.

Also don't forget that while most titles are sold my IndigoStarfish the prices on titles that are sold directly from Amazon.co.uk do not have VAT removed yet in their price. IE The Hills Have Eyes is 8.98 thus like 7.50 after VAT removal! That one looks like it isn't available in the US, either. For my money the 9.98 UK is my max right now with the exchange rate. There are some good 7.98 titles like Vantage Point and Superbad. You can put that together with The Hills Have Eyes or another 7.98 and below titles and you have a pretty good trio. Nothing sexy but solid titles. From what I have seen on the price of Sin City in the US, 11.98 UK is a slammin price for Sin City!

Yeah it seems to be down. It's happened before but always returned, hopefully it comes back this time, too.

Hmm, interesting - I was just browsing it yesterday and it was there, but the title selection was dismal. Hopefully they put it back up with some fresh titles.

The biggest thing they had done recently was dropping the Pirates movies to 11.99 UK. That is actually a pretty good deal with the B2G1.
