Sten - thanks for the tip: I've ordered it. At that price I doubt whether the R1 or 2 versions will be cheaper. Possibly (though not necessarily) there will be fewer extras on the R3, but I couldn't give a fig about extras anyway.
Sten - thanks for the tip, but I think I managed to get it after the price cut. I've got a money off voucher, but I want to save that for a disc that's just over the UK Custom's limit.
If you're doing that to avoid customs, I think they're obliged to declare the price before discounts. I've read unconfirmed rumours that they are customs friendly again.
Sometimes, som foreign company may produce the DVD unlike region 1. For example, I got a few Japan DVD like the 6th day was produced by Pioneer and not Sony. Enemy of the Gates Japan was produced by a Japanese company. Same as 3000 miles to Graceland and so on.
