Default James Bond Blu-Ray Collection Vol.1 £76.49

Looks like a good price, too good to have nice packaging and a lot of extras

Contains the James Bond titles DR NO, FOR YOU EYES ONLY, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, DIE ANOTHER DAY, LIVE AND LET DIE, AND THUNDERBALL.

A possible alternative for European Blu Ray owners:

http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/6...-/Product.html
111,9 EUR or 79.9 £ , free delivery in Europe, you have to add that to the Amazon price

Or you can go for the separate movies: 23.99 EUR each free delivery

bluray region code site indicates the UK, French and Netherlands versions to all be Regions ABC.

That's 100% correct. And I don't think Fox is gonna stop their Region Locking for the Bond films. Every single Fox/MGM title is locked so unless any of you have a blu-ray region free player, ummm I wouldn't get sucked into thinking these will play video.

I've already got the first two U.S. sets pre-ordered over at Amazon. Actually not as high-priced as I thought these Fox/MGM titles would be but still not cheap either. Better to pre-order at lower price now than wait and might not get as good a deal later.

The recent releases of Stargate: Continuum and Prison Break Season 3 have been region-free and Fox.

No it is wrong for Europe and only true for the US market. FOX have had many region free releases in Europe (a majority?).

Here are region free FOX titles distributed and released by Fox in Europe:
Alien vs Predator
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Chain Reaction
Die Hard
Die Hard 2
Die Hard - With A Vengeance
Eragon
Hills Have Eyes
I, Robot
Men of Honour
Night at the Museum
Planet of the Apes
Prison Break - Season 1
Rising Sun
Sentinel
Wall Street

MGM have also region free releases, all of the more recent releases:
Harts War
Usual Suspect
Windtalkers

All of the titles have been released totally region free and will play in any Blu-ray player on the market. No problem to import them to US and play them on a US player.

The James Bond collection could very well be region free. It looks like MGM (who only had region coded releases up until recently) now only have released region free titles.
