Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Steelbook)

[Arthur Hucksake]

Hmmmm well, the usual price of a BD title over here is £17.99 inc VAT.

If you goto www.play.com and have a look around your see what I mean.

Well I said if Paramount doesn't give a US release date by the time the UK version is release I'll import it... $41 shipped is well worth it for this movie, especially since it comes in a steelbook case...

this is a portion of email from them regarding this:

"Amazon's Preferred Merchant, Indigostarfish.com, is a Jersey-based merchant offering to supply goods to UK customers exclusive of VAT, via the Amazon.co.uk website. Indigostarfish.com orders can only be delivered to UK addresses (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and all BFPO addresses).

If you order an item that is messaged as "Items for dispatch to UK will be sold by Amazon's Preferred Merchant." for delivery to an address within the UK you are placing your order with Indigostarfish.com and your item will be shipped from Jersey.

If you order an item that is messaged as "Items for dispatch to UK will be sold by Amazon's Preferred Merchant." for dispatch to anywhere other than the UK, you are placing your order with Amazon.co.uk.

Please note that the price listed on the Product Detail page for items that are messaged as "Items for dispatch to UK will be sold by Amazon's Preferred
Merchant.", are listed without VAT. If such an item is ordered for dispatch to
an EU country other than the UK, the applicable VAT rate for the destination
country will be added on top of the "Our Price" displayed. You will be able to
see your final price inclusive of applicable VAT before you confirm your order.
This will be displayed once you have completed your order information, including our delivery address."

so I guess with international orders the pricing will be recalculated for any other country than the UK or in the worst possible case, the order cannot be completed - it really doesn't make all that much sense - excuse my language but what a cluster#$%^

Usually when I order from Amazon.uk after you get the item order 21.xx just double that and it's the price USD so say $42-43

[Corpsegrinder]

Yep one pound is worth 1.94 american... So pretty much double whatever it says in pounds..

I got Todd and Paranoid Park with the fast fast shipping for 100...

not to bad.. just anxious to see em though.. otherwise i would have took the cheaper method and saved about 20 bucks...

that vat tax i think will come off when they charge you, because it seems only preorders dont get the vat taken off at checkout but instock items do., so assuming that tax comes off it would be something like $38.xx, give or take a little

[have@you]

Received mine in the UK today from Lovefilm. The steebook packaging is ok but a regular BD case would have been fine by me.

And in case it hasn't already been 100% confirmed, it is indeed region free (I tested it on my laptop).

[emptystring]

Found it today at one of the local BD dealers in HK for USD 24

[duckydan]

A bit pricey but mine has also shipped. I wanted to wait but I loved the film.

According to my invoice it was not taken off my order...

[DSmalls84]

Can anyone give me some impressions of the pq/aq? Im really on the fence about buying this because of the price and it would be a blind buy.

[Clear]

I broke down and ordered it after finding out it does play on someones us ps3. My question to those who had their orders shipped out. Were those orders from play.com or amazon because my amazon order still says it will be shipping on the 19th

edit:

any chance someone could take pics of the steelbook edition
