Delivery Estimation is just a guide, it does not means you will 100% get it on estimation date, always remember shipment might delay due to a lot of issue, example: weather issue, congestion issue, custom clearance issue & etc.

Always be in mind, we are even one day earlier than them, if estimate said reach on 3rd March, we at 3rd March, they are only at 2nd March.

Always be good habit, don't over impatience and abusing Amazon, try wait at least 4 to 5 days before politely email them that you not yet received the parcel.

As expected for the price Scott Pilgrim offered, the slip definitely would be stripped off. I believe Inception, The Expendables, A-Team or likely Kick Ass , etc still comes with Sleeve cover..

Seems like it, initial release always has been included with slips. Probably 2nd print releases are made cost effective so its affordable instead paying premium. Second your thought..

In some cases, some of the initial release, the slipcover also missing (only for some buyers experienced this situation, not all buyers). For example, Summer Wars. But for those cases, you can write to Studios and ask for slipcover as long as you pre-order that BD.

Hi Pok Leh,

Some sharing on Amazon Canada-
Zone A, higher $ than U$ but lower freight cost, so about the same, my last purchase arrived within 4 days. Lots of Steelbook packing, use HSBC CC can get Ex-rate very close to USD.
Some title not available in US & UK are available there under ALLIANCE , eg. FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, MIMIC, THE CELL, THE OTHER, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, CHOCALATE. no subtitle & no extra, around C$10

go to wwww.blu-ray.com/movies/ click on AMZ canada side, currently some sales available there.

I already got 6 titles, I tried my luck because all not yet available eleswhere, around RM48/disc included freight,
MIMIC - directed by GUILLERMO DEL TORO, good scifi horror, released by NEW LINE same year with DARK CITY, both suffer in box office, PIC is B-, no remastered & very dark movie, SOUND is better in DTS-HD 5.1
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN - directed by Robert Rodriguez, with George Clooney & Q. Tarantino - the pic is very good quality, A-, sound very good too, US Vivendi might release this title soon, so hold your horses
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL - u can find the review in Blu-ray.com, very good quality both in pic & sound, & very good italy movie
CHOCALATE - 1080I, but very good PIC quality
CONSTANT GARDENER - Pic B+, however no subtitle, very dificult to watch as it is heavy dialoge driven movie
THE CELL - I read from the forum u all love "THE FALL", i think u guys should already knew THE CELL, both directed by TARSEM SINGH. a very beautiful psycho thriller with J.Lo, again u can find the review at Blu-ray.com, pic & sound both B/B+, again no subtitle & zero extra feature.

I watch the above BD with my Optoma HD86 projector, so the effect is dif watching at HD LCD/LED/Plasma.

Just made another order for 6 more titles, all in STEELBOOK & DIGIBOOK packing, will comment when arrive.

It doesn't matter how many titles you buy, but you really have to make sure they are worthwhile and something that you like. As long as it satisfies you. Dot

FYI, The Sound Of Music has now dropped to $39.49, 56% off ..damn Amazon!

Until now they is 2 titles I regret to buy:
  • The NeverEnding Story - hate the fantasy part transfer, the image is some how too dark.
  • The Close Encounter of the Third Kind - Beginning until middle still ok, quite interesting, once it step in where the actor like crazy human building that mountain, ok la.. I dislike it already, and the ending using that few notes to communicate looks stupid to me, sorry this not my type of Sci-Fi movie and I think this the only Steven Spielberg movie I dislike.
