Just made my 'virgin' order for Blu-ray titles from Amazon UK. Ordered The Matrix Collection, 2012, Planet Earth BBC Series, and Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D ver. Slurp. ;-)

Hopefully will arrive pretty soon so I can test my new TV asap.

About to make a new round of order from Amazon US. Total price for the Blu-rays would be US$114 before shipping cost. You think it'll be stopped by our custom?

Alamak, if I opt for Priority International Courier then the total amount will be around RM500-510 oredi.

I read a lot of nightmare stories about I-Parcel, that's why I want to pay extra to get it sooner.

Ok considered what you've said and I took the plunge. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for the next 3-5 days awaiting the parcel. *gulp*

Seriously?! Wah I think fingers crossed not enough liau, must pray hard hard too!!!

Mine got a total of 4 BDs, and I think they are shipping it all at once. I opted for the Priority International Courier. I heard the default courier is DHL right? The total value incl courier cost would be RM500.

You guys really think I should cancel one of the four BDs?

My first ever order from Amazon has just arrived!!! Made the order on Sun night, arrived today (Thu) afternoon. No it's not a miracle or luck. I paid USD20 extra for the Priority International Courier. Sent to my office by DHL. Going to test my brand new TV and HT set tomorrow! Weeee

I think The Green Hornet 3D is selling at RM150.00 while the Tron 3D is selling at RM169.90.

But this Tron I got from Amazon US comes with 3 discs (3D, 2D, and DVD) + digital copy and somemore so much cheaper than Malaysian stores.

So for 3D titles, definitely you'll get much more savings buying from Amazon than from the local 'potong' shops.

I'm thinking of getting I, Robot from Amazon UK.

The title of that BD doesn't stated its Region Free, but if you click to read details & description, its stated as All Regions. Confusing....

Just received my 2nd order, but this time from the Amazon UK, not US. Ordered 4 titles 9 days ago and Amazon dispatched them in two different shipments. But both packages arrived on my doorstep at the same time. The box is not sealed and definitely been opened before, but thank God none is missing





So it only took 9 days for the shipment to arrive despite being only a Standard Shipping option. Maybe its time for third order from UK again?

I only got to know about the Special Editon after my order has been shipped. Oh well, I'm still new to BD. I'm sure I'll still be impressed with the 25GB version.

You guys think ok or not if I made an order for 7 different titles at one go? The total price incl shipping is £75 (about RM380).

Yea I know you mentioned before about the RM500 unofficial safe limit. I'm more worried about the no. of discs per shipment. My previous 2 orders were 4 titles per shipment. If 7 titles would it cause it more likely to be intercepted? Hmmm

I have both the Avatar 3D and Tron 3D. I've sneak previewed them myself, and you are right, the 3D effects of Tron are more impressive than Avatar's. But both are good benchmarks for 3D titles la. Worth getting them IMHO.

What's YMMV?! Keke, yea I know, I'm so noob.

Yea I guess that 'Justin' is probably an outsourced employee at a call centre in India or Philippines.

But you do know it's supposed to be a parody of B-grade movie right?

Wanna ask, The World at War BD on Amazon UK is a Region-Free title or not? It's not stated on its description. And the one on Amazon US can't be shipped to Malaysia. Pffttt....

Yea I'm one week late, now can't buy from Amazon US anymore. If buy from Amazon UK takut not Region Free, although a bro here said it is lah.

Interesting? Definitely it was. Balanced? Kaka, shame shame Man United!
