May of next year, we will be able to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But so far only Johnny Depp agreed to star in this film, before "there was a script or anything".

Tonight 2am (Malaysia time), we got amazon lightning deal:

"A 3-pack collection of talking animals in high-definition. "

The Shrek Trilogy? Not avaiable in Amazon US yet

Doctor Dolittle Trilogy? Don't have any Doctor Dolittle series in blu-ray yet.

Also not likely is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / Secret of the Ooze / Turtles in Time / TMNT) [Blu-ray]. Since it is 4 pack. Current price is $57.49.

Madagascar? Now only got Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. So, not possible.

Just found 2 BDs with not bad limited edition gift set:

1. Star Trek (Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set with Replica Starfleet Division Badges) [Blu-ray] (2009)



2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set with Wolverine Bust and Gift Card) [Blu-ray] (2009)



Unfortunately, both are not sold by Amazon US. Both of them are sold by third parties.

Guessing time again!

Tonight 2am (again ), there is a lightning deal at Amazon US:

"This action packed collection on Blu, made a movie star out of a TV star. "

What will that be?

Star Trek???
Star War???
Last Action Hero???

You are lucky compared to me.

Based on my records, my longest wait is parcel from Amazon US.

1. I placed order November 23, 2009 (Yes, during Black Friday's sales) and dispatched November 24, 2009;

2. Amazon later informed me, this parcel had returned to Amazon US due to "undeliverable" ;

3. Order created by Amazon US again on December 31, 2009 and shipped at same day;

4. Today, I demand a replacement order due to not yet received after waiting for so long ;

5. A replacement is just created not long ago and is about to dispatch.

Let wait and see what happen next.

Tonight 2am at Amazon US lightning deal :

"A clearly defined Hannibal Lecter collection."

99.99% is The Hannibal Lecter Anthology [Blu-ray]



Current price is $39.99 and lowest price in past 6 months is $31.99.

For majority of US blu-ray, yes, there don't have "pure" english subtitle but most of those discs got English for hearing impaired or something like that subtitle.

Maybe those BD release in US and since most of the US residents know how to listen to English, so make "pure" English subtitle a waste of resources.

Nearly $5

My mistake, I keep remember the Amazon UK's charge.

Those who are waiting for US edition of "Life", the US edition of Life will available on June 1, 2010. But it is narration by Oprah Winfrey instead of Sir David Attenborough.



If you want narration by Sir David Attenborough, UK edition of region free "Life" is your best choice.



However, take note that UK edition is encoded in 1080i at 50 Hz.

P/S: Based on the comments, lot of Amaricans hate narration by Oprah Winfrey . Don't know why. Maybe her narration is not good enough???

US edition's current pre-order price is $48.99 whereas UK edition is £30.00.

If you also looking for Avatar 3D blu-ray, here is some news about it:

Source: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=4280

For me, if I order in Amazon US, I usually combine pre-order or out-of-stock BD with those BD got available stock. By doing that Amazon US usually will ship those BD with available stock first without any additional charge provided the pre-order or out-of-stock BD is at least few weeks before their can ship to you.

Amazon UK is a bit difficult to ship in separate parcel if order contain pre-order or out-of-stock BD with those BD that got stock. So far, only 1 order happened like that which only took place in today.

Not worth it cause based on my past records, max. quantity in one parcel is 4 only.

Yes. I got pre-order so titles but not all using priority shipping. So far, I only use priority shipping in one of the pre-order. I hope you know what title it is...

I just realized that the X-Men Trilogy I ordered in late November 2009 (received in December 2009) got some problem.

The disc 1 of X-Men: The Last Stand is actually disc 1 of X2: X-Men United. This mean I got 2 disc 1 of X2: X-Men United. I just realized 10 mins ago when I first time playing this disc.

I already watched X-Men and X2: X-Men United 1 to 2 months ago but I left X-Men: The Last Stand untouched until today.

Just write email to Amazon US to check whether can exchange or not for that particular disc...
