RE: PLAY 247 - EXTRA CHARGES?

Normann (and others),

Are you sure that the price have to be above £17.99 for the DVDs to be taxed?

As you can see in my previous post, Play 247 says that it`s items above £14.99.

Another thing, I have in the past ordered items from amazon.co.uk where the price was above £18.00 and there was no import taxes on those items. Can anyone explain this?

Has ANYONE received their DVD`s from stardvds.co.uk

They say on the website that they have sent out some of their DVDs. Has anyone received theirs?

RE: PLAY 247 - EXTRA CHARGES?

I live in Denmark and a friend of mine bought some DVD`s from Play 247 and he got an extra bill where he had to pay import taxes. I emailed Play 247 about it and here is what the answered:

"Unfortunatley the Danish authorities may charge tax on items over £14.99. We do advise you not to order titles above this price as we are unable to refund the costs. Any problems please let us know."

It may be similar in other countries.

R2 Easter Eggs

Anyone know where I can find a list of Easter Eggs for Region 2 releases?

Thanks!

RE: Series 7 Friends - Warner Bros. T*SSERS

I for one was actually happy to see that they are doing something with the 7th season release. (I currently only own season 1, 5, and 6).
If you look at season 5 (As I understand season 4 & 5 were released first) it has an ugly menu and the picture quality is no where near DVD quality, but it`s acceptable. If you then look at the season 1, the menues are simple, but nicer, but the picture quality is really bad. I see purple lines around the faces, edges etc. Season 6 however is a delight. The menues are nice and the picture quality is high.

If you then look at extra features (I know the show is the most important, but some behind-the-scenes is always nice) season 1 has the music video, season 5 has two very short documentaries, and season 6 has nothing. I was happy to read that season 7 would include director`s cut version as well.

What I really dislike is that the DVDs are flippers! Why not make a dual layer? Is it really so much more expensive?
Let`s hope all the episodes will be released on R1 because then we will hopefully get single side dual layer discs, a perfect picture quality on all seasons, and some extra features.

However, you have to give WB a little credit. Since sason 7 is what`s playing in the US at the moment, they are pretty quick to release them on DVD.

There`s my rant, feel free to comment on it :)

I also wondered about something. Is it only episode 1-8 that will feature director`s cut and will all episodes be released at the same time? The news only mentioned volume 1 & 2 and episode 1-8. Is it because all episodes hasn`t been produced yet in the US?
