This is when I sort of wish I had a modified multi-region Oppo Blu-ray player.   puzzled

You don't need a multi region player for the ltd edition batman trilogy as it's a Warner Brothers disc and will be region free no matter what it says on any of the information, it's one of several studios whose discs you can freely export as they are region free. I have a few Warner Bros movies i've imported from the states and though it says region A on the packaging i've never had an issue playing their discs on a UK BD player.

Just thought it was worth a heads up. Personally i will be buying the lovely Bat Cowl LTD edition which is also available to buy in the UK this time around unlike the Bat Pod edition of The Dark Knight.

 

Hi mate

 

Yep I think I am going to order from Amazon.com, the trilogy.  Yep it is region free.  So I am paying £18 plus VAT if I am unlucky.  Delivery from Amazon.com was $6, so 36 dollars in total.  If I get the VAT charge it will near £30 but I get the limited edition book and packaging.

Is this the one you mean?

I'm going through the ordering process now and it seems your Amazon UK account details and payment methods can be used. However, I have yet to push the button...

Yep that is it - I choose the long delivery.  Last time I did not pay VAT so fingers crossed.

Ah so you have tried it and know it works; I thought I was taking one for the team. Still, I'll push the button now then. Slow delivery for me too.

Do you know who it will be delivered by?

Not sure.  Hoping it will be quite quick from experience.

Hi guys

 

You know the one on the English sites - the trilogy set, according to one website they all come with the special edition and book.  So if you buy the English trilogy set you will get the same content as on Amazon.com - the American one.  And if you look on the picture on Amazon.co.uk you do see it.

 

I think I am going to stick with the Amazon.com but if I can get the trilogy for £25 or below in the UK again I might purchase it here again.

They seem to be alright, have created a network with local booksellers:

Besides, they're on Quidco.

The website is genuine as well. This is their address:
