This is just a small sample. I chose movies known to be superior in UK release, those not available in the US, or those that are a better price than in the US. There are almost 300 titles in this sale and though many titles have been on there for over a month that I've noticed, they also rotate in titles.

Disc size - BD25 is a single layer disc with 25 gigabyte capacity; BD50 is a dual layer disc with 50 gigabyte capacity.

[sachinwalia]

I had US version of "the thing" but I sold it on the forums and then bought UK version. The UK version is definitely better as all extras can be played unlike US where there is a sole documentary which can only be played PIP. Also you can consider UK version of Man on Fire as well which contains all the extras and deleted scenes etc. Check the region code info before jumping on this sale.

[handisnacks]

Also for those who may not know the UK/Euro cases are thicker than US ones, so they are noticeably different in your collection. This doesn't personally bother me but it may bug others.

I've been trying to pick up:

The Fog
Total Recall
The Goonies

But the goonies is never on the b2g1 list! Soo annoying i've been watching out for months now.

[dfms23]

Bumping this thread. This sale changes titles so I will try to update titles on this thread as they change

[dfms23]

Updated prices and added a couple of titles that I thought may be worth mentioning

[Che]

picked up Mongol, The Punisher & Man On Fire.

[dfms23]

I keep hearing about Mongol but I'm just not sure. Too broke for blind buys lol. I'm wondering about The Punisher. Thinking about doing that one. Credit for this goes to Penthouse:

The Punisher

U.S. - Audio- 6.1 DTS- ES, DD 5.1 EX., Extras - Trailers.

U.K. - Audio - English/French/Spanish Dolby True HD.
Extras - Director Commentary, Alternate Opening Sequence, Featurettes, Deleted Scenes, Music Video, Trailers.

This info came from here: What imports are "better" than the US releases?

[Telstar]

Mongol is Region B locked, right?

[Che]

Yes Mongol is region B Locked. I just got my region free superblu player this week and I can finally upgrade my collection.

[dfms23]

They should pretty much all be region free but I noted a couple on the initial post that I'm not sure about the region coding. I am intrigued by A Time to Kill. I went and looked at the HDD review thread for that one. Man the board was at a fever pitch over that one
