Page 1 of Buffy Season 2 (R1) for £34.99?

Hi folks,

Both www.Play.com and www.futureent.com have Buffy - Season 2 (R1) DVD for £34.99 (Released on 11th June).

Am I missing a catch here? or does anyone know if this promising trend is liekly to continue? :)

Cheers...

Yep it seems like it`s a trend for R1. The Friends R1 1st season box sets are also significantly cheaper than R2, which adds to the "are we getting ripped off in the UK" debate. I guess the only good thing is that we`re getting the releases early here.

Or you could get it for about £29 from AB Sound, also R1.

!! UPDATE !!

Just tried to order my copy only to find that the shipping charges were higher than I was originally quoted making the total slightly more than £35 (plus the possibility of customs tax). Sorry about that!

f*ckers!!!
Actually it aint so bad cos i got mine for the same price about a year ago. I dont know if i can wait for buffy season 4 on region 1 or not.
Its probably not gonna come out for a while. It money over time. I dont think i can wait. Will just pay £60 and get it now me thinks. I dont think us UK people should be complaining cos we had it ages before the US so nah nah nah nah nah nah. :-P

Okay forget AB Sound, but you could instead try:

North American DVD - about £31.50 inc. P&P

OR

DVD Express - about £33.30 inc. P&P

Not 100% sure about postage costs coz it`s a 6 disc pack but definately worth looking at. Does anyone know how good these retailers are?

But you also have to pay for the import duty, right?

Maybe.
It seems to depend mainly on the particular retailer. I don`t know how likely it is that you will get stung by using these retailers (does anyone else know?).

I do know that if they mark it as a gift the allowance is greater but I am not sure if it is high enough to effect these.

I don`t know if that really helps.
